Don't tell me that this warrants the venom on this thread.Have you read everything that was posted yet since last night? She is also a total liar and she bascially tells her customers(some of which who post here) that have legitimate complaints to go f**k themselves. Then of course there is publically throwing of her *employees* under the bus for her auction & shipping problems. I also seem to think that publically announcing to the world your employee having cancer(assuming that this is even true at all) and thus being able to perform her job duties satisfactory is a bit on the dispicable side as well. I can see where all of this might inspire a bit of venom by people.

The nasty responses...and I have gotten one myself for asking about cheaper shipping...are what is so curious. The strategy is to offer lower prices and high shipping. As I understand it, Ebay does not get a chunk of the shipping, so they make more money that way. Given the obvious consumer tendency to purchase low price without considering the cost of shipping, this strategy appears to be working.

I have bought 2 things in the past, and both times I paid a pittance. I intentionally bid a pittance, knowing the shipping was going to partially make up for it. In the end, it was well worth it. But generally speaking, I prefer not to deal with sellers like Tonya's Ass Rape Shop.
