some one bidded on 200 of my items what should i do

[cardshopmd]

i have a guy bigb101585 who has bidded on 200 my items should i be leary of this because my s/h rate is $3.00 1st card & 1.00 each additional card won
i sent him a message about this giving him a chance to retract his bids if he cant agree with my rates

i dont know if i shold remove his bids or not does any one know this guy or have they ever dealt with him his feedback is good 293 no negs
any thought you guys have on this LMK

[B_Mani]

I don't think you need to worry. The items he/she bid on are primarily autos (if not all .. I didn't look at all 200) with a $ 0.99 starting bid. He/she likely bid $1.00 on all 200 items hoping to win any amount of them. $1.99 ($0.99 + $1.00 shipping) for some of the autos (if not all) is a steal!!

Look at the bid history for the 2008 Sam Fuld Topps Co Signers Autograph 70/200 CUBS you have listed; it supports this theory.

[otmack2o]

First of all, the word bid can indicate past tense. Secondly, if the person wins 100+ auctions from you, wouldn't you be willing to ship them all in a flat rate box for maybe $25 total? I understand that $3 + $1 each additional is your stated amount for shipping and handling, but I think it's a good idea to modify your rule if someone were to win a large number of items.

[fungi2510]

I know I would make concessions if someone won that much from me. Just seems like good business.

I agree shipping rates definately should be modified when someone wins a large amount of auctions. One of the reasons Ebay has had to clamp down is because sellers abuse the whole shipping charge.

[BAMBAM]

$1.00 per each additional card won is a disgrace anyway. Why are you gouging people on shipping ? If someone spends more money with you on a few items you should not be bending them over on shipping, you should be throwing them a bone. It doesn't cost any extra in postage to ship 2 or maybe even 3 cards in one mailer.

[ND3]

If a customer buys in bulk you should do the right thing and ship all his stuff for free. Or ship all his stuff in a flat rate box ($12). What is the big deal? I am sure glad I didn't bidded on any of your items.

[DawgFight24]

I have a guy that will buy 50 or more cards at a time. Not only do I give him free shipping but I give him a discount on the total amount as well.

[stumpfreeman]

Absolutely, you have to cut people some slack on shipping for multiple items. Heck, it saves you a ton of time anyway. I usually charge .25per additional card, and sometimes I still give a discount if it gets out of hand.

[37Jetson]

People who bid in buy in this type of bulk are typically loyal repeat customers. In any type of business this is what helps you survive. Show you appreciate your customers by offering reasonable postage and maybe even a discount.

[Super32]

I would be shocked if Louie (cardshopmd) gave this guy much of a break. A couple years ago he charged $5 shipping and would not combine. He didn't give me a break them.

In the end, it was my fault b/c I assumed. However, $15 for 3 cards was nutts. And to top if off they were all shipped in 1 mailer.

I posted about him on the Beckett message boards and everyone got a laugh out of him trying to defend himself.

I have almost 13,000 ebay feedbacks now and his was the worst transaction of them all.

[sportnutt80]

I don't understand why you would try and discourage someone from buying multiple items from you with outrageous combined shipping fees.

[kelleys1]

In response to the original post, $1 per extra item is HIGH but that is your choice. Personally, when I bid on an item that I want for my PC, one of the first things I look at is the shipping for additional items. If they are reasonable, then I always check out the sellers other items and usually will end up picking up a couple of extra cards that I normally wouldn't just for my PC. And I usually end up spending more than I intended on the original item b/c they have multiple items that I want. In the end, I think you pick up more sales that way, but every seller has their own strategy including gouging with their shipping costs.

[cardshopmd]

Do you realize how big of a moron you are??? You bitch because stuff doesn't sell or sells too cheap. Then you bitch because somebody "bidded on 200 of your items" Give me a break.. You are one of the ppl who give ebay a bad name. You have just earned a blacklisting on all of my auctions as I don't ever want to deal with you in the future. This was the final straw with you for me.

[Great Dealz Rob]

i he would of contacted me 1st i would have worked it out

that might be the dumbest thing i have ever heard. why wouldn't you just make an exception and make a customer happy. if you were so worried about selling a card for .99 you should've started the prices higher. it sellers like you that make ebay less and less attractive. it doesn't matter if you had the shipping listed in your description. the bigger picture is earning a new customer with the potential for repeat biz, selling product and above all else making some cash money. all of which you decided against. i don't know you, but i have added you to my blocked bidders list and will def not take a look at your store or auctions. thats my opinion. rob

So that seems fair to you that if I bought 10 .99 cards from you to charge me $12 in shipping? The card if it sells at .99 is what its worth, there is no need to apply $1 more per auction. If you don't like the autos to sell for a buck find a better way to sell them that wouldn't require you to manipulate people. I know you state it in your auctions but geez cut someone a break. Shipping cost is supposed to cover shipping charges and supplies not be used to make unreasonable profit.

Ebay's seller terms clearly state S/H is not to recoup fees! It is for the actual cost of shipping & handling period:rolleyes:

no one seems to complain when they win a 30.00 card for $1.00 do they
my point is my rates are listed people have the option to bid or not to bid on my items

also 90% of you guys on the boards are collectiors i am not i am a dealer & this is my full time job when ebay lowers their fees i will lower my s/h rates

With this being your profession (as you claim), it sure as hell seems like you would have a much better grasp on how to handle your customers and other issues that you run into on eBay.

P.S. How's the Flacco collection?

WOW HOW'D I MISS THIS GEM OF A THREAD. lol

i can understand 3 bucks for the first card.. but a buck each additional is a little too much for a single card... and for you to say you wouldn't cap the shipping at some point.. like.. oh i dont know......... 13 bucks for a flat rate box if the buyer actually buys 200 cards... isn't very business savvy.

for someone who makes "this" their business you dont seem to have a very good grasp on customer relations.

For cards you're combining you would just pay the 35 cent Paypal fee one time, so that figure should not be in the equation. It would just cost you 28 cents for each additional card after the first.

I think in the long run, sellers who are reasonable about S/H charges are going to come out way ahead because buyers aren't going to feel cheated and will continue to come back.

Nobody can be this stupid and own a business, its like Forrest Gump sold the shrimp boat and bought a card shop in MD.

[kevdog73]

Repeat customers and multiple item winners are your best friends on Ebay. If I had 200 auctions up and someone bid on all of them I would hand deliver that SH%% and bring them a pizza. What a numbnut.

The cards are only worth what someone will pay on any given day, Beckett is for fools. 90% of the time you will get what a card is worth AT THAT TIME. The other 10% of the time it's just the cost of being in sales. Ending auctions like that will just make it harder for you. You probably will lose money on the second round because of less bidding. Having a bid on your auctions early is a great thing, it draws attention to it. IMO

[TrueBlueLA4Life]

How could you not want a customer that bids on so many items. You make your money on the cards, not on piling on the s/h charges. As a dealer you would want to build customer loyalty and have repeat customers. I charge $1.95 for the first card in a bubble mailer with d.c. and $0.25 for each extra card, with a $5 cap. You would be surprised how many customers that bid on one item end up bidding on 10. In the end you keep the customer happy and they come back. If they are not happy 98% of the time they stay away from your auction. Reward the customers that win multiple items.

[37Jetson]

Our "mentor" cancelled out the 200 bids through Ebay and will relist them himself. Are you frickin Nuts?????

Good luck in cornering the Joe Flacco market. His cards will be as desirable as Trent Dilfer's if the Ravens stumble out of the blocks in 2009. Oh yeah, Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl....

Btw, there are sooo many things wrong with this statement.

1 - The final value fee is .0875 cents, not .10.

2 - The paypal fee per card is .03 not .30

3 - You only pay ONE transaction fee which is .30 if just one payment is made... so, not even .01 per card.

4 - Its transaction not trans action.

Kudos to you dude...1.95 s/h. I think it reasonable and fair to charge more considering the labels, bubble mailers, top loaders, penny sleeves and time. I hope to goodness you have a 5 DSR on S/H ratings (you deserve it)!!

my s/h rate is listed if people chosse not to bid that is up to them thats whay i start them at 0.99 cents & i dont ship in flat rate boxes larger orders ship through fed ex

[cardshopmd]

yes it does since they are stated first since most of the autos book at $15 each & if you won 10 the bookvalue is $150.00 so you won them after paying s/h at 22% of book you cant go to your loacl store & buy them at that % can you

the reasion i removed his bids is because he bidded on 273 items & then tells me he is not paying the s/h rate if he would of emailed me first i would of charged him a flat rate of $25.00 to cover the cost to send his items via fed ex ground service .most buyers on ebay win less then 5 cards at 1 tiem from the same seller


So that seems fair to you that if I bought 10 .99 cards from you to charge me $12 in shipping? The card if it sells at .99 is what its worth, there is no need to apply $1 more per auction.

it does not matter what i charge i could charge the same amount & people would still complaine about the rate & if the 1.95 works for him great & i hope his DSR is A 5 because he does deserve it

I am the one whos nuts lets see lets get this correct i cancled 273 of his bids
ebay gave us a credit & they were relisted 10 mins later & my sales are higher now with out his bids on them


Good luck in cornering the Joe Flacco market
well i am in baltimore & he is selling like crazy here as for the flaccos in my store i dont have 1 penny in to those & also flacco was not the only one to blame for that game the entire team played like crap no one expected the ravens to go as far as they did Joe flacco turned the team around from last year you got to give him credit & as i told every one they would not win that game

i know its hard for you to beleave but i have them same customers deal with me every week & i never had any one complain about my s/h rates untill i posted a message on this board

when a bidder places bids on 273 of your items then emails u telling u hes not going to pay my s/h rate listed then he is at fault not me , he has bout items from us before & when i emailed him to try & work it out he is the one who refused to pay a flat rate of $25.00 to ship the items via fed ex ground service not me

so i am the one who was correct in removing his bids now i do agree with you on the cap or flat rate s/h fees on my next auction i will try it & see how it goes for us

I am a moron ,

i have every right to remove his bids & you have bought from us before & you never seemed to complain untill now .

as a moron i have done things that not to many people have done on here
i paid my house off in cash in 5 years renovated it & placed to additions on to it

placed enough money in to an account to have my daughter go to college

mannage to feed & take care of a family of 5 all on the money i make with sports cards & do this all with $0 in credit card debt & how many of you can say thay have done that ?
