[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10159100, member: 2844"]That is someone who bought off you, but for that one person there could be twenty who didn't bid because of the high shipping cost. If I see shipping over the set cost from a country, I simply don't bid. So do many sellers who don't charge extra. I always double-boxed items against damage, with bubble wrap in between the boxes. And I sold most of the jewellery in a jewellery box, not a velvet pouch, but I never charged extra for all that. Chunky pieces that didn't fit in a box went in a pouch. I included a professionally printed thank you card (terrible handwriting:arghh:), which also costs (a little), but never charged for that either. The box and card were shipped in a bigger box with bubble wrap as a buffer. It was my choice to ship everything as carefully as possible and to thank the buyer, because to me that is what a considerate seller does. I never asked extra money for being a considerate seller.:playful: But in the end the advice we give is just that, advice. It is up to you to do what you think is best.[/QUOTE]
