Tomas. Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I am looking at getting some indexing clips for my daisy pellet gun. They are no longer available on amazon.ca. I found a place in Ohio pyramyd air gun mall. They have a few left in stock and $4.95 usd for 5. I was going to buy 2 packs of 5 for $14 cad but they want $20 usd to ship the things. What the fuck. But offer free shipping to all mainland states, even Alaska. Would it be the same if anyone sent them regular mail? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that seems fair for $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pricey and nothing but a scam in my opinion because sellers who are just setting up, are fooled into going with it. Collecting baseball cards and other sports cards, I have seen this more often then not. I refuse to purchase from anyone stateside who uses it as in most cases, with the cards I buy, the shipping is more expensive than the card(s) themselves. It does offer some protection for sellers as once it's out of their hands (the pkg/envelope) it's EBay's responsibility if the pkg goes missing, etc. There is no doubt in my mind, as I have seen shipping anywhere from $16 U.S. up to over a $100, Ebay is banking large on this scam. Right in EBay's own rules it reads for sellers of anything, not to charge more than the actually shipping costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
