... was a typically (and unnecessarily) personal attack. If eBay allows "handling" or "shipping" fees to be charged without an eBay fee (which it apparently does), I don't see how a $2.00 "flat rate shipping service" would be cheating eBay. And if it is stated upfront in the eBay ad, I don't see how it could possibly "deceive potential buyers".

I have never done business with Julie, but would have no hesitation doing so in the future, without fear that I was going to be "cheated" or "deceived".
