If one is going to sell then one has to deal with such "inconveniences:" as waiting in line at the post office. THAT is certainly no reason to gouge a buyer. If one doesnt want the so called hassle, it's easy-- dont get into the selling biz, plain and simple (whether it be on ebay, or personally). To say that a 5.00 "handling fee" is somehow justified because one gets stuck in a line at the USPS is absurd.

Was he really charging $5 for filling our a customs form or was he charging a $5 handling fee for the inconvenience of having to use window service at your local post office, which in New York City means waiting on line for at least a half-hour to one hour. For whatever reason, you can't use pre-paid on-line postal services for regular USPS air mail, only priority mail. It's so awful having to deal with in-person postal services and personnel a $5 surcharge is probably not enough!

Disgusting. Takes about 90 seconds to fill out that form.

I wasnt too impressed with a seller who recently said that he had charged an additional fee of $5.00 for having to fill out that little green customs sticker that goes on an international package. Its no wonder that eBay have been trying to crack down on sellers who gouge on postage.
