I have recently won 3 auctions hosted by people in China or nearby. None of them have posted good feedback for me when I've paid very quickly or instantly. Maybe it's their culture or something but I'm not buying anymore from an outfit located there abouts. I'm showing 38 auctions with 100% feedback. If the turkeys that should have would have I would have 43-45 somewhere in there. Most auctions I'm able to ship the next business day. "Feebay" charges for everything imaginable and takes a warm fuzzy attitude if something goes wrong. They charge the seller if the buyer uses Paypal and they charge the buyer if they use paypal. If you're just starting, find what you want to sell or buy on Feebay. You must have an account to do the next thing. Look on the left side while you are not viewing any particular auction for "Completed Items". That will show you what items are going for. Look inside these auctions for shipping charges. That is what gives you the total price. If you have more than one of the same item look at the auctions that combine shipping. A seller that sells the same type item with low number of auctions but with 100% feedback is more trustworthy than someone that sells anything and has lot's of auctions with a 98% feedback. Have fun if with it.
