I don't think so Craig. 99c each, plus $3 handling, plus $5 postage
and GST is NOT included?

Ebay could be interested as this would seem to contravene their listing
policies.

Members may not use systems or techniques to circumvent eBay fees. Some
examples include:

Listings with low prices but unreasonably high postage or handling costs

The shipping prices *include* the handling fee... and no, I don't charge GST
unless the buyers wants a tax invoice since it's not a commercial sale and
I'm not a commercial seller (through Ebay).

Sounds like you're having a gripe for no apparent reason.

On the contrary - you clearly say "HANDLING FEE: Applies to ALL sales
except where direct pick-up is arranged. The fee is A$3 for every A$100
of final value. The handling fee are totally seperate from shipping
charges and is not included in any quoted shipping cost in the Ebay
listing data."

That is a little bit hard to misinterpret.

Would you like to explain also why you only charge GST to those who ask
for a tax invoice, but then go on to say you are not a commercial
seller? Presumedly this means you do not have an ABN - or are doing
some creative accounting, or using somebody else's ABN for those
particular sales.

If you are entitled to charge GST, then preferably run GST inclusive
auctions, as eBay suggest - if you are not entitled to charge it, then
don't. A tax invoice is not essential to be able to claim an input tax
credit for ABN holders.

Having a gripe for no apparent reason? No Craig, I don't like people
who abuse the system and charge $3 handling fees per $100 plus $5
postage on a $1 item and only charge GST to those who ask for a tax invoice.

What a pile of crap the items, your web site is a crock of shit who

Sounds like you don't have a very good grasp of how Ebay works.

If your going to sell stuff, tell the truth, the connector is CAT 1
standard only good for phone extns and maybe ok for 10Mbit lan if
short and away from any interference sources.

Did I claim the devices were good for cat-5 use? No. I simply said that they
might be.

I hate smart arses trolling shit on here and eBay, its junk, don't
sell mutton as lamb.

I dislike smart arses who think they are members of the Net.Nazi and who try
to prevent others using newsgroups because you haven't been clever enough to
come up novel and sensible ways to market things you might have to sell in a
way which reaches a wider, appropriate, audience.

Since you are continually hiding behind aliases and will not reveal your
true identity, you have no credibility in this matter.

Craig.

Certainly. I have a real ABN - 94 480 125 814. That ABN is for my
*commercial* business (Sun Ripened Kernels) at "http://www.sunrk.com.au".
Because my commercial business is involved in selling used Sun equipment,
and because I also personally sell used Sun gear on Ebay, I can provide tax
invoices if requested through my real business (and that it why i then need
to charge GST for those sales).

Having a gripe for no apparent reason? No Craig, I don't like people
who abuse the system and charge $3 handling fees per $100 plus $5
postage on a $1 item and only charge GST to those who ask for a tax invoice.

Well how would *you* deal with the costs involved in obtaining packaging
materials, and the costs involved in dedicating time to preparing parcels
for shipping? Remember that my business and my Ebay selling involves just
one person - me.

Packaging materials which are not recycled from shipments I receive cost
real money, so that needs to covered in the money which a buyer pays. Also
there is the cost of transport of packages to the shipping point (which in
my case is the nearest post office about 10 km away, unless I'm shipping
large/heavy/bulky items which go to Pack and Send that's about 20 km's away).

If you would really like me to abuse the system, I can go back to a method I
used before and charge a *real* 3 percent of the final sale price as the
handling fee. Ebay's rules prohibit surcharges which are derived as
percentages (which is why I created the 'stepped' method), and they also
prohibit surcharges being charged for some methods of payment but not for
other methods (which is why I now refuse to accept US$ money order and
wire-transfer payments).

I'm not out to rip anyone off because if that was the case, my commercial
business would have failed, and my Ebay trading reputation would be nothing
like it is now.

Like all sellers, I need to come up with methods which balance the needs of
me as a seller with the needs of buyers. If you want to contact me privately
we can talk about your concerns, assuming you are willing to reveal you true
identity.

If you are not willing to reveal your true identity, then like the other
poster, you don't have any credibility with respect to this issue.

Regards,

Craig.

In order to be "suitable" for "cat-5" then they must obviously be Cat-5
themselves. ie, yes, you did claim the devices were good for cat-5 use.

You've cross-posted 3 news groups with a post which, if the customer so
requests, will be a commercial sale for your business. You have failed to
include the newsgroups which are specifically chartered for the type of
post you're making (aus.ads.*). No matter what excused you make, it's
still SPAM.

(It's also illegal to charge/not charge GST in the way you're doing it.
An offer to sell is either made by an individual or a business - it can't
change between the two at the request of the buyer. Wonder if anyone will
care enough to report you to the ATO using the procedure described at
http://www.ato.gov.au/terc/ ?)

Wrong.

His choice.

Wota fucking wanker.

I suspected as much. Creative accounting......

I charge actual packaging and shipping costs. If an S&H costs me $1.65
plus $2 postage, that is what I charge.

Packaging materials which are not recycled from shipments I receive cost
real money, so that needs to covered in the money which a buyer pays. Also
there is the cost of transport of packages to the shipping point (which in
my case is the nearest post office about 10 km away, unless I'm shipping
large/heavy/bulky items which go to Pack and Send that's about 20 km's
away).

All of which has nothing to do with the fact that on this particular item,
the packaging and shipping costs are way out of line. You know it, and I
know it.

If you would really like me to abuse the system, I can go back to a method
I
used before and charge a *real* 3 percent of the final sale price as the
handling fee. Ebay's rules prohibit surcharges which are derived as
percentages (which is why I created the 'stepped' method), and they also

other methods (which is why I now refuse to accept US$ money order and
wire-transfer payments).

Charge the actual shipping and packing costs - as most other people do.

I'm not out to rip anyone off because if that was the case, my commercial
business would have failed, and my Ebay trading reputation would be
nothing
like it is now.

Beats me why, if this is the way you do business. I can't believe I am the
only person who finds your business practices suspect..

Like all sellers, I need to come up with methods which balance the needs
of
me as a seller with the needs of buyers. If you want to contact me
privately
we can talk about your concerns, assuming you are willing to reveal you
true
identity.

I do not need to contact you privately. You published your advertisement
in a public place, and that public place is the correct place to discuss any
concerns.

If you are not willing to reveal your true identity, then like the other
poster, you don't have any credibility with respect to this issue.

Clutching at straws now aren't you? In what way am I hiding my true
identity? In common with many others I use a nickname, but also publish my
email address clearly in my headers, albeit munged for obvious reasons.
