I am in the wrong business... Tue, Jan 10. 2006

Why is it that I can buy a USB hub on eBay for $0.87 USD, but shipping is $21 USD?

Is this not pricing fixing? Lying? I reiterate my example of sending a hard drive to the USA, insured for $500 replament value and 2-day guarenteed delivery... for a whopping ~$8 CAD?

I can understand if you want to make money selling your merch... but it's getting downright unreasonable.

Yeah you can really get the shaft on e-bay I'll only buy from sellers who charge "actual postal rates" I've seen some try and get away with $50 shipping and handling rates. For that rate I expect it to be delivered by Elvis Frikin' Presley.

Or at least some time in the next two months.

One auction I won... I COULDN'T leave feedback, that's how long it took for the package to come... granted - customs is slow at certain times of the year.
