Damn dude, I misread the title and thought it was MEGA MAN 7 sealed on SNES. If that were the case I'd have easily bidded up to $60.

You charge 7.00 damn dollars to ship a game that realistically costs 2.00 to ship? Man, no wonder your feedback sucks.
I feel bad sometimes charging 4.00!

I am actualy lowering my shipping next week.
The reason my shipping was so high, is becasue E-bay dosent take a chunk out of shipping, and no matter what your shipping is 90% of customers look at total price when bidding. if they want to pay $30 they bid $23 on my item, if you ship for $4 they bid $26. See? atleast that's how the people i know bid.

Yeah, but check your 5 star ratings, they are horrid. You're seriously going to lose a lot of customers with that. I'm very very meticulous about my ratings and I'm sitting at a 4.7 for shipping rates and even that is too low in my opinion.

Dude, not for nothing, but that auction was a bit misleading. You've got two games pictured, and then, at the very bottom of description, you mention that Ghosthunter is for another auction. That should have been at the very topic in big, bold letters. And yeah, $7 is a tad high to ship one game.

I feel bad sometimes charging 4.00!Hmm? His auction says he's using Priority (which is what I use). That costs $4.60 for a game. $7 is pushing it, but I have no problem charging $6. My 4.6 rating could be better, but I've never understood people complaining about shipping rates - if you don't want to pay it, don't.

A lot of people do that with pictures as long as the person using ebay has a general understanding of the english language it is no issue and also it is not the sellers fault if someone doesn't read the whole auction (which they should be doing) especially when it doesn't have a huge description (i know many don't read the descriptions that have a paragraph for everything from shipping to the exact route the seller plans to take to the post office but this item has a pretty short description)

either way, there is really no legitimate reason to have a picture with 2 games listed when you are selling 1. using the "everybody does it" rationale doesnt fly, and neither does insinuating that someone who would bid on that without completely reading it is stupid. its because of auctions like this one that people should read the whole thing, probably 2 or 3 times. the "winner" is paying more for shipping than the game.

Gotta agree. I mean just take 2 pictures. It's not that much extra work. Maybe 10 seconds.

According to the test page that eBay used for the new seller feedback, you may get red lettering for your Shipping & Handling charges sometime in May along the lines of "THIS SELLER CHARGES EXCESSIVE SHIPPING & HANDLING".
For more info, click here (http://blog.auctionbytes.com/cgi-bin/blog/blog.pl?/pl/2008/2/1203389859.html). They have may disabled it from the completed listing in the blog since they could roll it out in May and it's received tons of attention online.
I'll third for not adding a third picture. It's just one picture, take a moment to do it. That's really asking for a careless buyer to win your auction and file a SNAD against you since buyers will be more inclined to be jerks as most know they can hold sellers hostage come May.

Indeed. Whether or not the TC meant for it to me misleading, it doesn't really matter. That's what it might look like to a lot of people. There is no need for that picture to have both games, when they are not related, at all. And as the above poster said, you're simply opening yourself up to a problem with an asshole buyer with something like that.
Also, who is "everyone" that does this? I check out CAG auctions constantly, and I have seen ONE person do it. He was selling a bunch of GC controllers, I think, with a BIN. At the top of the description, he clearly put "You are buying one controller. I am selling multiple units" in big, bold letters.

I agree about the 2 items in 1 picture. Way too many buyers don't read descriptions and will be expecting 2 games. If I am selling a new game and put the word New in the title and say the game is brand new and sealed, I still get people asking if the game is used or not, or if it's a Greatest Hits game, I put it in the description and people ask about that as well.

I've seen enough people do it over the time I've used ebay, especially when people are clearing out hundreds of games at a time in single auctions where they may take a picture of each group of 20 games for example, but I will agree it is a little bit much for 2 games in 1 picture.
