I just reported it, I don't have a problem with a seller overcharging a couple dollars on shipping but this is ridiculous.

what a cheap way to save a few bucks on Ebay listing fees. I hope he doesn't trick some dumbass into thinking they're really getting a .99 DS..

That's what I thought because it seems very misleading, and I was about to click buy it now figuring the seller listed it at the wrong price but then I saw the shipping charges of course decided I wasn't going to get it.

but in the auction it says free shipping. Go for it. Worst case you get a negative.

It's immedieate payment required, so I can't buy it without paying for the shipping as well

why even report him. 230 seems pretty fair for the ds and a supposidly rare game.

It'd be better if the DS itself costed around $200 and someone didn't bother to check shipping till after they won :)

Yeah, looks like he's trying to get away with the eBay fees.

The seller lives in my town! I wonder if I can get reduced shipping. :lol:
:lol:
I sent him this question:
"Hi, I'd like to do a local pick up and just pay the auction amount. Is that okay with you?"
I love asking snarky/smart ass questions on these type of assy auctions.

That's pretty funny, I hope you get a convoluted response about it being in a werehouse or somthing. :lol:

"FREE USPS PRIORITY MAILING SHIPPING WITH TRACKING NUMBER. ADD ONLY $2.50 FOR INSURED."
So it seems like you only have to pay 2.50 for insurance. His other auctions don't say anything about free shipping, so if you wanna risk a negative go for it.
Dude replied and said local pickup would be fine, but he lives in Fresno CA. So I replied that's great because I have a good friend attending FSU (Fresno State U) which is actually true, though I don't really plan to try to take him up on the offer.
I'm pretty shocked he said local pickup would be cool. Odd seller.

The Buy It Now has changed to $230 and shipping is now free
Ah, well that would explain it then. I was too lazy to recheck the listing before replying :lol:
I guess he got a lot of e-mails about it and figured he risked eBay pulling the ad if he didn't change it. I don't think eBay gives warnings about this stuff, they just pull the ad right?

Yeah, no warning the auction just gets cancelled.
