Coffee with Duane

I collect cards, which is 99% of what i buy on eBay. I sort by "lowest+shipping" and then find the lowest price with the best condition. Not sure this really helps since it's cards, but... Lol

[@XDM50]

Yes, that makes sense. I also sort by "lowest+shipping" and find the best condition, but then I also look at the seller's feedback. I will pay a little more to buy from a seller with 100% positive feedback VS a seller who has had some angry customers.

I always do free shipping and always from the US. One time I bought something that said us shipping, but when I looked at the arrival date, it was going to be about 3 weeks out. I looked at the sellers profile and found out that he was in another country. I canceled that order. What cracks me up is when you're looking at an item and a seller will have it for a lower price than others, but the shipping will be twice as much as the product sells for or more.

[@XDM50]

I know what you mean. I've seen that, too. Some sellers think they are being sly, but they just look like scammers to me! LOL

I always sort by lowest price + shipping when I am buying on Ebay. When I sell I do charge shipping, there is a reason for it... I think if you get a return because the buyer doesn't like the item (not because of your fault) and have free shipping you end up paying for shipping both ways, but if you don't have free shipping they still have to pay the original shipping cost to them. I also typically just let Ebay set the calculated shipping rate without checking that the box size matches what Ebay suggests which usually works out slightly in my favor... and if the item doesn't sell I just reduce the price a little/accept offers. But I agree that buyers psychologically prefer seeing free shipping.

Thanks for the info. That gives me something to think about. Stay safe out there. -Duane

[@spinningtrue]

Was gonna say I'm pretty sure I remember you talking about selling a Snap-On deep socket on a bike ride and selling it on Ebay in a previous video!

[@SoundToxin]

I do like free shipping, and not having to consider the two separate values. If the price of two items is the same I might lean toward the one with free shipping, but I'll go for whatever's cheaper including shipping otherwise. I never filter to just free shipping, I'd worry about missing out on a better deal if I cut out all those other results.

[@XDM50]

Thanks for answering my question. I appreciate it. I'm the same way, I never filter to just free shipping, for the same reason. Hope you're having a great summer! -Duane

[@WeaponCollector]

Hi Duane, i do choose free shipping over others, becuase the price is see is what i pay rather than getting excited thats its say $5 then its really £8 once the shippings added, but i know its already added. I think free shipping defo helps you sell, and do select the filter for "free shipping"

[@XDM50]

Hi Mike, Thanks for watching and answering my question. I agree with you, Free Shipping helps things sell, at least with some buyers. Thanks again! Cheers!

[@namegoeshere833]

Always good to see you!

[@XDM50]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate you!

[@Alex-bf7ro]

Nice to see you again Duane. Miss ya!

[@XDM50]

Thanks Alex! I keep putting off making videos. But then when I actually make a video, I remember, oh yeah, I really enjoy this! Thanks for watching, bro!

[@LuckySpinster.]

What are the odds, finding the same socket. Who keeps losing them? I do prefer free shipping but I still weigh it against the price of other items and go with what costs less

[@XDM50]

Thank you for replying! I do the same thing! Great minds think alike, eh?
