I passed on that one too because of the shipping. Somebody got a somewhat crusty but complete looking Wizzard version of a S25-CVA for $10 plus $12 shipping today. Almost bid on that one. Hope the winner was somebody here, and that it has a good P/C.

Shipping + bid = total

I'm with you that that's high for shipping, but I really think as an avid ebayer you need to look at the total cost for an item before bidding. If he had the shipping listed, I say it's not at all his fault. I often pad fixed price shipping a bit to cover the California buyers that purchase my stuff. If it was me, I'd give you a little break, but I don't think that should be expected when it was laid out from the start.

Just my opinion. I hope it works out for you, I just hate seeing sellers get hosed on the star rating system ebay has now.

I do ship next day though. That part would tick me off.

 

[stubnail67]

Dang!!!!

i was in here and missed the pp180 i was going to buy son of a gun!!!!!! i need to just bid what im willing to bid and walk away!!!! i have to admit i like the bid wars ... my wife dont LOL!!!!!oh well ya snooozzzeee ya loose!!!!

 

[wendell]

$30 is a tad high but I've shipped several saws lately and they have been over $20. Add in a box and your time and what if you're on the east coast and you sell the saw to somebody on the left?

But, I always check shipping since that seems to be the new way to gouge you on the bay.

 

[stubnail67]

so since were on the subject...

any of ya all have any pp180through235 with a good p/c and spark???? or a poulan 3700-3400 the craftsman version will work... i have a red one would prefer to get a green or black and grey just throwin it out also maybe interested in a pp260 or a 3.3 forester just pm me thanks!!!!

oh on that saw its solid state but its not the right airfilter on it... all the solid state green ones i have seen have a lil different cover it a lil higher as the carbs have a plastick spacer under neath but you need that coil so it should be good if it sells low!!!!

Still not a bad price if it's a decent saw. You can bet that after ebay and paypal fees plus actual postage the seller isn't exactly getting rich on that sale. Just remember, the seller probably didn't exactly get the saw for free either. If you ask the seller I'd bet you he would tell you he lost money on the deal. I have a 25DA that I certainly wouldn't sell for that price!
Ebay also now charges a fee for shipping and I've heard ebay sellers say that they have to add a couple or three dollars extra to their shipping to cover the fees.

Yep. I saw it, but let it slide. I have enough XXV projects really. It has to be a variant I'm looking for (and there IS one up now..........hope nobody bids against me), or a SCREAMING deal for me to bid on yet another...

 

[stubnail67]

the fees are getting to be BS!!!!!

i have to say the fees are BS they are getting fat off the fees for sure!!!!!!i ship mine for 20 on the lil ones and 25 on large ones somtimes i eat it a lil somtimes i make a buck or 2 but on shipping but ive really gotten pissed at what between ebay and paypal then what ebay gets on shipping... i always add in confirmation in with the price... ive been sellin on craigs list.. for saws that run i may just use ebay to buy and sell parts i did not use.....if you did not have the fees you could ship it for 15 16 bucks and the 80 cents confirmation but its getting to be not worth it ... im diggin CL more and more....what did they make off you on that saw you just sold 5-7 bucks????with paypal?

That's why I haven't jumped in on that one yet. The air filter cover looked odd to me also. I have a couple that had "Solid State" on the recoil covers, but the saws were points saws. Both had been pieced together, sort of and I'm amassing a collection of non runners to compliment the 2 that are.

Maybe we should be taking advantage of the classified section on this site. Heck, we could even "fix" the prices asked by listing them at $1 in the heading to keep people thinking they are just "junk" Poulan.

My last one sold for around $25 also and they got $6.40 out of the deal. It had been listed 3 or 4 times in the past and nobody would even bid on the saw. It was one of the more dependable saws I've sold.
They would have gotten more if I'd had more pics of the saw, I usually limit that to two pics and allow the bidders to request more pics or ask questions about the saw. Paypal also charges me when I withdraw money from my account. I usually figure the fees to be at about 20% total. Rule of thumb: Don't expect to make much or any profit selling Poulan saws, people usually equate all these fine saws with the big box store saws of today.

You must use the mailed check option because they charge me nothing to direct deposit it into my bank.
