As it says on all my ebay items now, if you dont like my reg post conditions, then dont bid. <br /><br />I go out of my way not to gouge on postal charges, i think i break even, and occasionally lose money - but spread over several items it tends to even out.D.C.

This is especially important if you're a seller using the PayPal online payment gateway to ensure that you qualify for PayPal seller protection.<br /><br />Obviously this imposes a shipping premium (an extra $2.30 for Registered Post articles) which is simply passed on to the purchaser, but highly recommended. It may cost you a few potential sales (from cheapskate buyers), but maintaining a high rating and covering potential loss or charge backs are worth it in the long run.Jonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827589162485728288.post-22513116532761258292010-06-22T04:56:10.130-07:002010-06-22T04:56:10.130-07:00Paypal "protection" is a sham.
