Hi Racer X
Thanks for the PM
As you can see, I have moved the post as per your request.
BTW:
I looks like the evilbay link in your post is now Invalid.
I guess some action was taken on someones part?
Please let us know it the seller re-lists the item/s.
Regards Dr. Bob |

Greetings all. Unit in question was a Univox Super Fuzz. A really
sick sounding unit that is rarely seen in these parts. Low starting
bid with shipping at $35.00 (US) for Canada and the US. Typical
shipping ripoff. Someone had asked a question that essentially
called him out on the excessive cost of shipping and dude basically
replied don't like it, don't bid. Okay, I didn't like it, I didn't
bid but I Goldurn well reported the bastard. To Ebays credit, they
had pulled the auction within one hour. They also pulled four other
fuzz boxish auctions this dickhead was running. Again with $30 -$35
shipping cost.
A ripoff is a ripoff. If you don't like it don't bid. Yeah that is
a truism. But if you see something of a similar nature, report these
people. Shipping ripoffs have gone on for far too long and Ebay is
finally being proactive about the issue.
If you scroll down on an auction listing you will find a " report
this item " link. Use it. Over time sellers that do this with regularity are going to finally get the message. Ebay can be a pain in the ass. Help fix problems like this.
Check out his listings. Are the Armstrongs a wee bit high for shipping ? File a report.
Peace and Bacon Grease

I saw the re-listing before I saw your post Racer. I wholeheartedly agree with you. As much as E-bay is trying to restructure & or regulate certain aspects of the entity, they ought to have more astringent guidelines about people that gaff others on shipping. I can understand a couple of bucks for material and time, but bastards that use shipping as a padding to the final bid need to be burned at the stake. I see it time and time again, & I don't think E-bay has the power/gumption to stop it. The sellers, not the buyers, are their bread & butter, go figure. First time I've seen I2I with you. Scary!!!
