'69 AMX, 390/4-sp, Charitable Donation??

I agree, just think it’s silly to introduce an unconventional fee structure in an eBay auction where 99% of bidders will ignore the note. I think it casts an unfriendly shadow over the auction and could lead to a soured sale if the winning bidder overlooked it.

I just bought some things on the Gov. Surplus site. Some of the schools or municipalities have a surcharge built in; some don't. This one did, but I adjusted my bid accordingly and still won. It is only a factor if you don't read the fine print.
