ebay has a new limit for shipping in some categories the loophole is to do calculated shipping and charge a high handling fee which i did (you arent legally allowed to take advantage like that [i think]) (its meant for bundle shipping

Why don't you just let him return it and refund some of the shipping as well?

BTW eBay updated their fee schedule so you pay a commission on shipping as well http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fvf.html

@isrealsuits
Why would you charge the $350 as a shipping charge as opposed to including it in the sale price?

The last thing you want is him to open an ebay case - cuz he prob will win.

Could you give any more details? Maybe the ebay item #?

On ebay its not worth going against the policy.

(Btw - I was always wondering what would be if I purchased an item in ebay that the seller charged way to high shipping - as this is against the policy, would I be able to get the overcharge refunded...)

Hey - you want everyone's honest opinion?

These things happen on ebay, sellers always get burnt. I have been selling for a few years... I could say I know ebay pretty well.

You could PM me or someone else the ebay item # - seems like people here are trying to help.
