What do you all think of this?

Buyer bids on auction, knowing how much shipping costs, prior to bidding.
Buyer wins auction.
Buyer contacts seller next day after winning auction to let seller know that he does not like how much seller charges for shipping fee.
Buyer tells seller he thinks he should charge him less for shipping.

Seller replies, sorry shipping charges will not change, buyer should not have bid if not comfortable with paying the listed shipping fees...will cancel transaction if buyer prefers to not purchase item...

Buyer than goes on tirade about how seller should be embarrassed about how much shipping is charged...but then states that they will just pay the required shipping amount....


Seller thinks WTF???

What do you all think?
seller is long time seller and has 100% feedback over 4 years...

Buyer same....

If the seller is sandbaggin shipping prices they should stop.

If bidder didnt like listed cost he shouldnt have bid.

Seller should cancel transaction and avoid the pain in the ass buyer.....because he IS going to be a problem if he's already causing trouble.

If this is a normal item at a normal cost (not some car, house, etc.) then just cancel and re-list it. Ive done this when buyers ask questions AFTER they win and start to mouth off. I cancel the transaction and send them a message saying, "Just hit accept". The 3 times Ive done this its worked out great.

i had one buyer,thought i should ship a figure in a jiffy bag for $1.25 total.a jiffy bag cost about that itself,insurance is $1.85 tracking for first class through paypay is either free or .20 cents (i forget),oh and my first class boxes cost me .83 cents each.

my description says i do not ship in bubble mailers,boxes only and insurance is a must.but he bought anyways and renigged.

I have seen some extortionate shipping cost of £30.00 plus for one figure (to the uk) I just avoid these because they are very silly.
Do agree he shouldnt of bid if he wont pay shipping an i think seller has the right to leave bad feed back, after all if they dont intend to pay an you have to relist it still cost.

id cancel this, i guarantee when you ship it he will say even though the tracking shows it was delivered either he didnt get it or it was damaged and he will either force you to tdo a partial-full refund oand neg you or just neg you.
id just cancel it and move on.
