Cheap shipping with Tracking number.

[zeegamingstore]

Hey fellow Ebayers,

I am seeking advice, trying to see how other sellers are able to charge something like $3.00 for a game with free shipping and my daily shipping first class package cost $2.60-$3.80, how can they make any money? is there a secret underground group that knows where i can get cheaper shipping with Tracking number?

@zeegamingstore,

The high volume sellers may be able to charge $3 w/ Free Shipping, if they have access to a very cheap supply of games, and sell enough to get bulk postage rates. Purchasing and printing your shipping online can save you $ as well.

Several ways:

1. They ship from China and enjoy discounted, tracked shipping to any address in the US ... paid for by US Citizens in the form of higher postal rates.
2. They are using it as a loss-leader to build a customer base, since eBay will provide the seller with the buyer's email, phone number, name and mailing address.
3. They are shipping with First Class Flat Postage service, and hoping that the USPS doesn't catch their dishonesty.
4. Selling is a hobby for them, and they are not out to make money ... so they don't care if they lose money.
