The shipping & the cards are worth what they're worth.  So disingenuous is a nice gentle term for the shipping.  +shipping =s -bid.  Wash.

So. Help me understand this. I don't have a problem with changing the shipping charges. Maybe I should ship for free and put in the price that I expect for the cards. Guess that will work. I just didn't want to see the cards go for, let's say 99¢. Get where I'm coming from. Oh, and by the way, I'm not playing tricks I'm just trying to protect my investment.

Ok, so I just changed the price and shipping charges. Hope that makes everyone here and on the WWW happy.

So if that will fix things, then Jimetal bid.

And how much did you sell those 1600 and 3000 cards at those shipping costs? 99¢?

Having been an auctioneer in a previous life, u are putting your cards up for auction with the hope that u will get at least 2 bidders who really want them.  That's ure upside.  Ure downside is if u only get 1 bidder then u get $.99.  So u can have a BIG upside or a BIG downside depending on what happens.  If ure not confident then list it at a fixed price and accept offers.  Downside here is ure limiting ure upside.  DO NOT auction and set a buy it now price because then ure limiting the upside on your auction to your buy it now price.  The problem I've seen on ebay is u can list your item AND accept offers but if ure ask is too high u get no offers.  I don't know why this is - if people are embarrassed to "low ball" or what.  Ure danger with the auction and the big ship price is people will just pass it by and then ure chance of getting the 2 bidders that u NEED is diminished.

Mine was a trade. I went through USPS and my trade partner (stevecpa) went through another vendor and he sent about the same number of cards for even less than the $18.30 I spent.

And, I believe the information being shared is to help you sell and make a little out of it, not to lose any money.

Good point bclough.Never heard it put that way.

Enough already, you're a tough crowd. I'm just trying to sell cards not cause problems here or on any other site. 

I guess i will speak my mind i would buy 99 cent cards but when they want 4 or 5 or even more for shipping there is no way not worth it

I am not sure how other people operate when buying but I certainly glance across auctions/fixed prices looking at the shipping more than the card price.

Anything I see as too high I don't even consider. This is especially true as an international buyer.

I don't think anyone is trying to be too harsh, just as was mentioned earlier trying to help you ensure the cards do sell and hopefully at a price you are happy with.
