You're being more than fair, Mark. Being an "industry figure" does not grant a license to post inaccurate listings or to randomly add handling charges ex post facto.
And it's even better that those of us who actually took the time to give you our honest, non-PC thoughts are going to look like complete dickheads now that you've thoughtfully provided the target of YOUR original problem with a link here. Lesson learned, I guess: providing an honest answer will get you burned every time.

Mars wrote:Yes this is okay according to Ebay. The only complaint you might get is that $10 is excessive. You will notice that on the auction page where shipping is listed, the word HANDLING is not mentioned. It only says SHIPPING COST. Handling is something that the seller can determine after the auction has finished and then add it in to the additional fees box on the Ebay checkout.
