Is ebay inflating shipping costs? I received the following message from a potential buyer yesterday: â€œIâ€™d love to get these and accept your offer. Shipping is showing $24 which seems pretty high and nearly doubles the price. Are you able to correct that? Thanks.â€ I checked the listing for a small lot of comic books on my end it clearly says that Priority Mail shipping is $11.20, NOT $24, which is absurdly high. I messaged the buyer that if he made the purchase I would send him an invoice with the correct shipping price. Luckily he wasn't scared away from my listing by this and he did buy it, and when I went to send him the invoice it did indeed say $24.00 for shipping despite my listing saying $11.20. Has anyone else experienced this? Is ebay misrepresenting shipping costs in the hopes of making more money? I donâ€™t like the idea of potential buyers seeing different shipping prices displayed than what I put in my listings, especially when I have no way to see what buyers are actually seeing when they click on one of my listings.
