Yes a person on ebay tried to charge me 100$ for shipping for a 2gb sd card.. I asked him if a brick came with it and he seemed confused lol.

Never paid for item because im not all for being ripped off.

I am very careful before making any purchase on ebay because it is full from fraud. Luckily this has never happened to me but a friend once ended up paying $15 as shipping charges for $7 worth item.

No man!! I have never a victim of it... It just looks rediciouls, i think their must be some misconception . I advice you just be careful before ordering and you should ask all the necessary information at the initial stage only.

Ebay needs a rule or some shipping calculators built into these auctions where YOU KNOW WHAT THE SHIPPING IS, some auctions I see you dont know wtf the shipping charges are until you win and start to check out.

One thing I am going to protect some people on with outraegous shipping charges is its an attempt to bypass ebays and paypals over priced fees as well.

It's not fraud if it was listed but you just didn't take the time to go over it.
