    I have had two people give me neutral feedback because they see that the stamps add up to only $1.20 for small coins, they forget the $3.20 for registered and $1.10 satchel. So when you even charge 2$ more they can complain. i usaully charge 6-7.95 for a basic parcel.

    I seem to be a high rating power seller as i have sold 100 things in the last year, so i pay full fee with no 100$ / item cap with no free listings. Selling an 1800 coin would cost $142+ another $45 with paypal. Not worth selling at the moment for me.

    Also if it has not been said, ebay USA charge on top of shipping not AU yet.

    Maybe you can declare a capital loss deduction at the legal tender price on your taxes.
    Then maybe someone can bail you out of jail with the legal tender price.

    from the seller

    Hello,Add the start price with postage cost together.This is the amount that I would accept for the coin.I have done it this way so I dont pay ebay a lot of $.ebay charge about 8% on the sale price not the postage.I dont think I will do it this way again due to the large amount of emails I am getting questioning the prices.Thanks for your email,

    i stand corrected humbolt
