25.00 flat rate shipping

The way it works is this: You enter your phone number and get an automated call to that number with a code you then have to enter. Draw you own conclusions as to how well this qualifies as verified.

However, the email also states that a $4 listing fee still applies and a 2% transaction fee once the sale is made (up to $100).

That makes no sense. You have a choice of $25 flat OR the old way. There is no commission or $4 listing fee if you opt for the $25. You also can post up to 12 images in the $25 ads.

Not sure I see the purpose of the phone number part of it, though.

And I don't understand why the OP titled this Topic $25 flat rate shipping.
