Kurt said he got them while placing bids.  I'm thinking it's all to do with the seller's settings. It's been quite a while since I've seen a BIN/BO on something I've wanted.

ebay?

I disagree with the seller settings B/C one of the items I WON not but it now I have won from a seller I have purchased from before with NO PROBLEMS !!  No this is greedbay trying to snatch up extra $$ if what someone else said is true about ebay getting a piece of the shipping costs too. That is just outright wrong , poor sellers sometimes it might actually cost more than what they thought originally  which already would eat into their profits.

Same here. I am surprised how lucky we were before they started to collect our taxes on Ebay, but some lazy local business owners have whined about unfair competition from internet and the governments gladly jumped on the easy opportunity to charge us their 15% sales taxes, Our jurisdiction is already the second most taxed in North America. Instead of improving their business to be more attractive, they found nothing better than stab their competitors as usual. That's why you won't never see me shopping at Simons. About Ebay, I don't understand their management, it is like they always try to find the worst idea to destroy their business and to p*ss off buyers and sellers. It is always a downward spiral. I stopped selling there easily over a decade ago and I gotta be desperate and not able to find the item elsewhere to buy on their platform as a last resort.
