In reply to inquisitor
You have a very good point. Ebay is being taken over by a new type of seller and they have almost killed my business. Once doing $18-24,000 a month, now we are doing less then $10,000. What is being done is low price (like a penny or dollar) and high shipping ($35 to $300). Is it to avoid import fees? I do not think so. The Customs office would probably catch that eventually. No, it is done to keep down ebay fees. When you can pay 60 cents to list a violin that will go for $1.00 and has a $75 shipping fee, you save a lot of money. Our typical ebay fees for a $400 violin are over $10.00. If you complain to ebay they will kill that auction. However, they wait for you to complain. And who has time??? So the listings continue unabated. I don't think ebay cares, because they do get the full cut from paypal payments. If ebay cared they would include shipping fee as part of the total. Since many of these seller are from China, ebay is hesitate to chase them off. They are trying to become No. 1 in China and they will let us USA sellers twist in the wind to get there. This is happening in most areas: cameras, computers, musical instruments, anything expensive. And I am not happy about it.
