ANNOYING FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE SHIPPING LISTINGS!

[maytagneptune]

This one really got to me. I saw this WorldWasher set for $150 and if they would drop it to $50 I would go and get it if it was not in Oklahoma! I hate the "Ships to Interlochen Michigan for $20" SO MUCH! How do they anticipate to ship this machine across the country to Michigan in the first place? I know these are portable but UPS Freight and ABF Freight will be VERY EXPENSIVE! It will be way more than $20 to ship this set to me. It would probably cost $250 AT LEAST! Why do people do this? Shipping appliances is a pain in the (wish I could say the a word but I can't as it is against the terms of service). This is so annoying!

The sellers are not factoring in the shipping cost - Facebook is. If the transaction was then paid through Facebook the shipping costs automatically roll into the total price, which we all know 20 bucks isn't going to cover it.

When a listing like this pops up on FB assume the shipping price is not part of the overall deal, and do not pay through FB.

Offer Up is the same way....but in this case, the seller is supposed to enter a weight of a product so the true shipping cost is calculated....

it may say 13.00 to ship.....but then once purchased the shipping may be around 45.00.....fortunately OfferUp holds the Seller responsible for the error!....

as with anything, buyer beware!
