PSA

I like eBay. But, if used improperly, a once happy place of auctions and reasonably-priced items can turn into a world of high prices and general discomfort. Case in point: earlier today, I was looking at Talking Heads albums (more on them in my next post). I happen to come across two albums for $7.90. Good deal, right? I go to ring up my purchase and I happen to look at the total cost, with shipping and handling charges. Total price: $29.90.
(Head explodes.)
Turns out, the records are from Brazil. And apparently, S&H from Brazil come to $22.00. So, take some advice from old Austin, and read all the product details.
