E-bay gone crazy

With the state of things and so many stores having sales and specials a lot of new aren't cheaper on Ebay. I used to by pefune, but now that's so competative in the stores, a lot of perfumes are cheaper in the big discount places, like 'Priceline" or Chemists Warehouse. And a lot of new things seem to be so close to the retail price, taht when you pay postage, it ends up more expensive on Ebay.

Morning, violet_va....I just consider e-bay a convenient Super Store in my Computer! e-bay does NOT control the price the sellers put on their product, and it is really up to us to compare! You've abviously done your research...but sellers are going to charge you whatever the traffic will bear..and as long as we continue to pay (or someone does)they will charge what they want! I am sure you are a great buyer, better than I will be...but I have researched, every possible source before I check out "e-bay"...I have all the facts, figures, Model #'s on hand so that I can really compare! I'm sure you know, but I didn't....Pay Pal will only refund the cost of the product, and NOT the shipping costs! And e-bay has NO control over the shipping costs....so when you find a product cheap, and shipping costs high...that is how the seller is making their buck..or twenty! I look at it as "e-bay" is just the vehicle...we are the driver! Is your weather settling down a bit...sure hope you are not anywhere near where the wild fires are? Our news tells us, that it is possible that a crazy arsonist is setting these fires! Stay safe!
