5cent LISTINGS REQUIRED SHIPPING - EBAY GLITCH SHOWS OUTRAGEOUS CHARGES

[gifts_of_elegance]

I am always happy to have a listing promotion and I always participate. I was surprised to see that listings had to include shipping prices but since all my listings already include it, I had no problem with it. But now I have a question:
The listings in this promotion show outrageous shipping prices that anger potential buyers and has subjected us to nasty letters, not to mention making our items unsellable.
Some of my listings show shipping charges much lower than what I listed, which will no doubt result in more chaos.

WHY WAS IT IMPRORTANT FOR US TO SHOW SHIPPING PRICES WHEN THERE OBVIOUSLY IS AN EBAY GLITCH THAT AFFECTS IT?

I noticed the promo a bit late to take full advantage of it but did not notice any glitches in shipping in the dozens of items I listed.

Then you were luckier than me and a lot of other Canadian sellers who had $12,000-$75,000 and other ridiculous figures show up beside our listings on the Search.

On one of my listings it was 8 cents to Europe. Next look it went to $56,000.

Actually kind of funny for buyers who have a sense of humour...

I rarely do any searches of my own ones and low and behold as I was making some changes to some listing, happened to seach an item to see how it was showing up...I had a $2 item show up with a shipping of $392,125.77!! I just about hit the roof...if all of my items were that would explain the very low sales lately. Is this an ongoing issue lately? I don't come on the boards very often but came to investigate a few things tonight.

Did it affect sales? My usual stash brought in about 1/3 as much sales as usual (jewelry only). I didn't sell a single piece of Swarovski crystal, which is where I had the problem with the shipping prices.
Go figure.

Yes, its fun if the buyer has a sense of humor. Unfortunately all the letters that I received were abusively to the point.

Oh, the emails I got were all in good spirit and I responded to them that $55,000 shipping cost was correct due to the high cost of fuel.

Then added "just kidding". Except for one, they all bought!
