I once had an auction for a compote that had a shipping of $1200.00 (and too late to change once I had a bid) -- apparently bidders either didn't read, or understood it was really $12.00. In the case above, a way to assure that the bid is at least $124.99. And a FVF at $100 less than price of item.

"Listings with low prices but unreasonably high shipping or handling costs."
i had emailed them earlier asking why the shipping was so high and received a very rude email back stating they could charge whatever they damn well please and to basically f**k off. wow, what if i hadnt really cared and planned on bidding?!
i reported them to safe harbor for the fee avoidance and the fact that they state that the buyer pays the fees for using paypal or billpoint.
also noticed that they live only a few mintes from me. lol

i went thru some of his closed auctions and noticed how different they all were. each auction was done using a different company like auctionwatch or autcionworks. or some were just done by hand i guess. look thru them and youll see what i mean. not one has a simlar layout. kind of liek he went thru nagging other peoples auctions.

I questioned about his "high feedback" (37).He said "Feedback is objective, it is high compared to 5 or 6" Also said if you want to bid on his auction & use P/P, then you pay the fees.
