But. That one is new with key! lol

[VicCrownVic]

Yes, key that will not match my door/trunk so I will swap the lock cylinder out anyway LOL

[gadget73]

If you have a couple of broken ones you can probably make a good one. There is a thing inside that looks basically like a hockey stick and usually only one breaks. Take two broken latches, combine the good parts into one, done.

$100 is an excellent deal on the wire wheel covers. Now very hard to find in 14 inch
Shipping price is high, Buyer should try to talk to the seller to send it UPS or Fed Ex. for less.

[Tiggie]

My thoughts were the same. I just sent a set of wheel covers from VA to CA via USPS and it was $26. UPS was $30. That listing is quoting me $73 to go from NJ to VA.
eBay had, maybe still has, a setting where the buyer is charged retail for shipping and the seller is given a discount. Wonder if that's the problem.

[Mainemantom]

Another possibility is the seller does not bother or refuse to compare the shipping which is right on the Ebay seller page.. I can compare and get the least expensive option. If the actual cost is less than what is quoted, I refund the customer anything over $2. I avoid the Post office as much as possible.

[kishy]

A consideration:
I am not aware of the finer intricacies of eBay policies, but suppose a seller has to drive...I dunno, 50 miles to access a shipping drop-off point. Perhaps the seller is rolling in a cost associated with a 100 mile drive on top of the actual shipping cost. And/or perhaps they are rolling in the cost of new bubble wrap and a box on top of the actual shipping charge.

When considering a purchase, I look at the total 'landed' cost to my door. If the item is priced attractively and the shipping charge is some number that I can reasonably see representing some sort of actual literal cost to the seller, I'm not going to fuss over what the actual price is on the USPS (or whatever) website. After all, costs directly related to getting the item from A to B are costs related to shipping, and I don't see that as a misrepresentation.

Consider when I've sold things on here, I typically give some options:
I can ship from Canada, at a higher cost, or I can take the item across the border into the US and ship it from there for less (in literal postage cost).
But, I pay tolls to cross the border in each direction.
If I can ship the item at my convenience on a future trip I was already making for my own reasons, I might offer to not upcharge for the tolls in one or both directions.
If I make a special trip and can derive no benefit of my own from the tolls, I upcharge for it.
