  1. hardrock80srule, I concur. I was trying to come up with the words myself, but now there is no need. I try to keep my starting prices as low as possible, because I like to let the market determine an item's worth. However, I am not a wholesaler and I generally pay $1.00 to $3.00 per item. Many times one bid items lose me some money (keep in mind, a 0.99 item paid by Paypal results in MOST of the money going to eBay). Also, I will ship international without jewel cases but only on low ticket items. I sold a rare one to a guy in Japan. He paid lower shipping cost, and was irate when the item arrived. CD and inserts were fine, but I guess it was the point. I "self-insure" all my items, which is just a BS way of saying you get your money back if a package gets lost or damaged. I find that the PO gets 99.9% of all items there and intact. Finally, I have had numerous Paypal claims, particularly Italy and Spain, which I have all lost. The Spain package, in particular, was even sent registered. So, I charge a bit highet to ship internationallly. In closing, I guess my s & h fees aren't ridiculously high, but they are also not "exact cost". On the other side, I absolutely take into consideration s & h when buying on eBay and generally stick to domestic sellers who charge $3.00-$4.00. As far as grading, I also agree. It is very subjective. If there is one small scartch visible only under a light source, does that need to be mentioned? I usually stay away from making judgement calls, but do try to answer questions. High ticket item questions will ALWAYS get answered. But, if I am starting something at a penny? However, I do use the words SATISFACTION GUARANTEED in my description, and try very hard to stick to it. Thanks for listening!
