I had someone charge me $15.49 to ship 2 carded and 4 loose figures.
I asked him if that was the real shipping. His reply was this: Seller has responded to your question about this item Do not respond to the sender if this message requests that you complete the transaction outside of e*ay. This type of offer is against e*ay policy, may be fraudulent, and is not covered by buyer protection programs. Learn More. Dear , Yes that is the right price , S&H for card figure is $6.99 for the first & $2.50 each additional & loose figures are $3.99 for the first figure & $1.50 for each additional = $6.99 + $2.50 + $1.50 + $1.50 + $1.50 + $1.50 = $15.50 S&H , thank you. When someone says they offer combined shipping, get an actual shipping quote before buying. Don't let this kind of thing happen to you. If this is the wrong area for this, I apologize. I am more than a little frustrated by this and felt the need to share.

I still haven't paid him yet, and I am considering reporting him to Ebay for absurd shipping charges. |

I was about to say, they do allow you now to report people for absurd shipping charges. I reported some guy who was charging $72.00 for priority shipping on a Night Raven. Considering all the others were $20-30 at the most, I think $72 seemed a little high.

I thought I would save a little shipping by buying the ones I wanted from one seller. I will always ask first from now on.

I am seriously wondering if I should bother buying stuff there anymore. It's just ridiculous what people are doing. USPS has not really hyped their shipping prices too dramatically over the past year, yet everyone on Ebay certainly has. |

If there is combined shipping, I always go for Priority Mail Flat Rate shipping. You can ship up to 40 pounds of crap in one box for $10...
... it just all has to fit! When a seller tries to screw me over... I say, why don't we do that? And it usually works... but this guy doesn't seem that flexible. |

The best part is that you pay that shipping thinking okay they will pack it well and send it priority.
22 days later a beat-up bubble mailer shows up by parcel post.

That REALLY pisses me off... and I let them have it in feedback and star ratings... as well as strongly worded e-mails.

if he didn't state that policy, you can dispute it. when someone says they will combine shipping, but do not state it in the auction, it isn't unreasonable to assume it means it will be a reasonable or accurate shipping price and not an arbitrary set price per figure. or, at the worst, pay and neg his ass, he can't do anything about it to you.

see i hate when people charge to much for shipping.. Its funny cause you can fit 8 carded figures with no problem in a usps priority box for under 8 dollars.. And I hate when people charge for additional figure when it dosnt cost them anything to throw them in the package..
