I know its not helpful for people who list all the time. But I usually hold up for cheap listing days

Quite often when I have won items for very little and the shipping has been low, I will add a couple of $$ to the total to help the seller cover the fees, the number who have emailed me in suprise at my doing this is quite large LOL  As for the new system I like it but buyers need to educate themselfs on shipping rates & time taken to deliver items, specialy for goods from overseas.

I do that, too.  If the price is less than $10 and the seller is in the US, I'll often mail payment in cash so the seller can avoid PayPal fees.  I can't recall ever getting thanked for that, though.

The way the US post office has been lately, I get packages quicker from the UK than those mailed in the US.   They want a rate hike and I think they're purposely slowing down the mail to prove it.
