Beware U.S. postal charges

[jct842]

as long as these people continue to pay outrageous shipping and handling at ebay, the practice will continue.

there are some positives to charging a listing fee, some auction sites do not charge till sold unlike ebay who charges per valvue up front. those with no charges sellers tend to over price waiting for the sucker to come. some have full pages of listings with only one item that even has a bid on it, the rest are over priced and will never sell unless a sucker comes along. john

Agree! And watch those good deals before the shipping charges are known. They'll sell a $10 item for $3 and charge $20 to ship it....

Just an old fart who thinks there are still 100 cents in a dollar and the five cents is our lowest value legal tender coin. ;D

Cash transactions are rounded up or down on the 5/4 rule but if you use a credit or debit card you are charged the exact amount.

e.g. $1.94 cash = $1.95 Card = $1.94
$1.98 cash = $2.00 Card = $1.98

Sorry if I sound pedantic.

Actually Bob, the 1 & 2 cent coins are still legal tender - they have just been withdrawn from circulation.

Thanks tel :bow: I've got a couple of bank bags full of them which we use for poker chips. With the price of copper it may be better to melt them down rather than cash them in.

Convert them into real cash - ;D

Stick each one in a plastic bag with a card that says "souvenir of OZ"

There isn't enough copper in a penny to plug a gnat's ass. They're plated zinc worth about the same proportion that a dollar is actually worth about .4¢ or less.
