No question, but someone selling a stylus for a penny with $19.99 S&H is
not getting my money.

Yes. I'll do without before paying someone to cheat Ebay out of their
cut, and insult me with a ridiculous shipping charge. (I have seen a box
of stuff for sale for a $1, with $1999 shipping.)

Doing that cuts out all sorts of protections. Even insured, the Post Office
won't refund postage for lost items and eBay/PayPal don't insure S&H, only
the goods themselves.

And some idiots insist on you buying $1.30 insurance on a $1 item. That's
the dumbest bet on the planet.
