Posted By: Bonnie Lee <SuccessMoneyA1@aol.com> In Response To: How do you handle differences in shipping costs? (MaaMaw)

When my son puts something up for auction on ebay or such, when it comes to shipping and handling, he puts up a notice that it will be given, via ups,when the sale is made. This is important because the same product could have a hugh shipping and handling fee. That way, when it is bought, then the shipping and handling is figured out. Hope this helps, Bonnie Lee
Dear Kiddies,
> I'm befuddled again.
> PayPal has three options, as far as I can tell (and I'm sure this same
> problem comes up with just about every other shopping cart??):
> 1) Flat Rate based on X for the first item, X for each additional item.
> 2) Percentage of the total.
> 3) Override available so you can charge for each individual transaction.
> Okay, my items vary *tremendously* in size and weight, so I choose #3.
> I ship to the lower 48 states by FedEx Ground because it's easier for me
> (husband is the FedEx shipper at Kinkos) and unless it's a teeny tiny
> item, it's much cheaper for the customer.
> Alaska and Hawaii, though, are outrageous (because there is no
> "ground") -- so I ship there by Priority Mail.
> That's easy enough on Ebay -- just have people email for the correct
> shipping and change the invoice accordingly.
> What about a shopping cart like PayPal where they go directly to
> checkout??
> I found one place that charges the *higher* shipping to everyone and
> encloses a check for the difference -- and I suppose that works for them,
> but I would *never* buy something that way, and I don't want to scare
> anyone off.
> Blessum yewz.
> Luv,

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
