Ebay’s Paypal Shipping Is Raping You
Thursday, May 8th, 2008I just sold an old video camera on ebay for $203. The buyer paid via paypal, and normally my next step is to go into paypal to print the shipping information.
This time instead of presenting me with the buyers shipping information, Paypal prompted me to try to their new UPS Shipping solution. Paypal said they had worked out a special deal for their users, so I decided to try it.
For my 5 lb, 10” x 10” x 8” box, Paypal told me it would cost $21.40. I paid it, thinking I would just verify how much it should cost at the shipping place down the street.
