Location, shipping amount
Looking for a surfacing bit on ebay I find one for $10.99, good price for a low quality bit.
On my search I clicked to only list USA sellers.
First thing I noticed was the $199.99 shipping which in my income bracket is a bit much to pay to get a cheap bit.
Thought it may be a mistake on listing but nope I take it as far as checking out and there is that $199.99 shipping.
The seller said they were in Hebron, Kentucky, good for me as I want to buy from someone in the US.
I do a bit of clicking around on the sellers page and click on the seller's/feedback score just to see if he
ever sold this to anyone. He has and they were happy about it. Pretty sure that did not pay $199.99 for shipping but if they did I sure would like to meet them just to see if the person was just an idiot or it was pocket change to them. Then I notice a bit of info saying they are based out of China. Not surprised as it was a cheap bit and being from china was no big surprise.
My question is why does Ebay allow someone to post what is excessive postage no matter where they send this bit to. And also they are outright lying about being in the US. Yes it may be a seller based in Kentucky selling goods from China but IMO having a USA Seller on the pic of what is being sole is a bit misleading.
And yes I know people should read ALL the info on the page but a lot of people overlook things and just hit the buy button. I use to be this type of buyer a very long time ago.
