What is different is....

#1 (OLD WAY) - Bidder wins auction for $2000. Sends off EUC, then checks shipping. Finds out shipping is more than they want to pay. BACKS OUT, no $$$ transferred, account suspended.

#2 (NEW WAY) - Bidder wins auction for $2000. Gets charged $2000. Send off EUC, then checks shipping. Finds out shipping is more than they want to pay. Backs out --- LOSES default fee!

Its the same idea with cops giving people speeding tickets. If you knew you would not get a ticket, but only a warning each time that you got pulled over.....would you slow down?? NO!

BUT....since you know it will cost you $$$, you let your foot off the gas.

Bottom line ---> MONEY TALKS

I agree 100%

If and when the Government can figure that out then perhaps and only then will we all benefit?

Further more if all of this is just a waste of money for those that have nothing more to do than aimlessly sit and bid against another SS and squander monies then may I suggest another hobby.

Don’t ask how I really feel about paying for something you don’t own.

No meds

Have you ever bought something special order? They dont order it for you, then let you pay when it gets here (unless it is Lowes or something).

AND....it IS a waste of money to people who bid & back out! They are the ones driving UP prices for everyone. I do not appreciate what you are insinuating.
