I look more on this bullshit with shipping as just asshole raping the little guys. More stuff I'm trying to or would like to sell for cheap to help others with a nice deal can't be had without risking taking a loss shipping it. And just sold something on Ebay (well this might turn sour as the buyer hasn't replied in days) with the Ebay invoice saying an 8 ******* percent tax on it!!! I sell maybe 300 bucks worth of stuff a year and I need to be worried about the *******-******* ******* taxes on this?? Meanwhile huge ******* corporations dodge paying taxes on multiple billions in sales! Is there something WRONG here folks? Just think about ALL of the taxes we all pay, aside from income tax, on every ******* thing we buy from gas to groceries and purchases on **** we need to get for home projects and such! No wonder how the government can ******* piss away a few billion here and there and well no big deal. Accordingly what am I doing? The ******* garbage can for stuff I could try to sell so now it can go to a landfill. I've taken loads to Goodwill and get to thinking WTF, the gas and time taking it there isn't worth it for the 25 mile round trip. A good buddy of mine, now departed, said it very well: "I'll bend over backwards for anybody but when I feel penetration that's it".
Ron the buyer pays the tax so you don't need to worry about that. I have been paying tax on everything I purchase for months now and it does correlate to what I will place as a max bid. $300 part is $18 in tax... I agree it still sucks.
