Trackball update eBay shipping rant.
Today I came across a Microsoft Optical Trackball (1.0) at Wal-Mart for just under $30. The price was about what I've seen it for at eBay, including shipping.
I'm getting used to it, but like it better than the finger curl-smash trackpad. Mostly getting used to leaving my whole arm flat on the table, and need to get used to using middle-click scroll helper instead of the scroll wheel. Wonder how that works in Mozilla. Heck, Mozilla has guestures...right?
Rant: I may use either more if they handled shipping costs differently. 1. Put it in the same place on every page. 2. Add it into the price displayed on every query. 3. Empower sellers to gather shipping details: Size/Weight, Sending Location, Shipping type so that the shipping value can be calculated on-the-fly by using MY prefered shipper's quotes for the shipment based on the sellers provided details. Sound sticky? Sure, but electronic Auctions are sticky, and eBay mastered it.
The eBay feedback forum is about buyers/sellers, not the service/software, and the contact page doesn't include an email address. I'm sure it's somewhere, just not quite intuitive. There's reasons for that too, but I'm through speculating tonight. Maybe it's intuitive, I've been known to overlook the obvious on many occasions.
