Saw this and figured it'd be good for at least trade-in value... check out the shipping...

He almost got my greedy a$$ to click on "Buy it Now" before I caught on.

hmm, nice way to get banned from ebay. Trying to avoid selling fees is not looked kindly upon.

that's really becoming a pet peeve of mine, I've been seeing more and more shipping costs like that too. It's a violation of Ebay's rules and I encourage everyone to report it to ebay. I have no idea if they will actually do anything about it, but it can't hurt.
Here is the link to report excessive shipping: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-shipping.html

This guy has tons of game auctions like this. All Buy it Now for $1.99 with $16.99 shipping. One had $22.00 shipping. I went ahead and reported some. (Yeah, I have no life)

I reported 10 of his auctions, the most allowed. What a fucktard.

The 10 auctions max is just on one form, don't let that stop you from reporting more!

I reported him too. I can't stand a) People who rape you on shipping b) people who sell bootlegs and c) people who list 200 of the same item with a high starting bid and a BIN for a dollar more.

Also please note that if Refund is ever necessary, only ACTUAL SHIPPING is deducted, not the listed shipping price.
I find that quite funny. Someone should email them to find out the "offical" reason the shipping is so high.
