I sell on eBay. I think I go beyond what is required regarding showing my things and sending them.
I use magnified photography so every flaw is obvious. I have see other sellers who keep their items in the dark so to speak they make more money but I would rather a buyer be pleased that the item is better in person than it was when they looked at it and bought it. I ship same day or next day and this "lady" received her package just three days after the auction ended.
She got three antique buttons for $6.50 and shipping was $2.95. I do not charge for the package or for all the other things it takes to wrap it. A few people charge less for shipping, but they start their auctions higher. EBay recommends starting at $0.99 "to attract more buyers", but more often than not the sale ends at .99. So shipping should be a little more to cover the costs of listing.
Everyone likes to get a five rating. I do at least as good as those with a five rating, though I sell less items. She scored me less than 5 for a $10.45 sale. I have seen buttons such as I sold her go for fifty dollars.
I am not going to hate people, but I might quit eBay.
