I just got four figs loose from an ebay auction this morning. I paid out the ass for a BAT, but thankfully the guy only charged like $2.50 for the first fig, and $0.50 for each additional. It made the hurt a little less.

As long as the s&h is stated clearly up front, there shouldn't be an issue. If you have buyer's remorse afterwards because you got carried away bidding while ignoring the s&h, that's your fault.

I add every and any fee to my auction.......So NW I'm an ass because I find ways to cut my bottom line Expenses? Grow up people! If the seller does not indicate there shipping charges and or is to expensive, DON'T BID!!! Sounds like an easy solution to me.

I have had 2 that were marked free shipping, then in the small print it said no free shipping. Stupid me didn't see the small print until after I got the invoice and complained
The last one I bought was for 3 loose figs including a straight arm SE with combined shipping. Shipping was more than the 3 auctions (and a whopping $2 off the separate shippings), I complained and they lowered it $2 only to have them arrive parcel post in a tiny padded envelope with $1.85 worth of postage. I complained and they said it was too bad, because the auctions were so cheap. If you don't want the stuff to sell for .99 don't list it at .99. My other beef is when you win something (I won an auction for an mms missing 2 missiles and stand), they gouge for shipping, then they come broken. This guy said, "I would offer you your money back minus shipping but it isn't worth it". Definite neg on this one. When I sell I consider what the ebay fees are, and 95% of the time I use Priority mail, because the box and materials are free, and you get free delivery confirmation if you use USPS.com. On the rare occaision I don't ship priority, I use boxes from around the house or work (or get one free from the store). The excuse about materials costing so much to justify outrageous shipping is crap in my opinion.

You're gonna start to see a shift now that sellers can't leave neg feedback. @$$hole sellers are gonna have a little harder time getting away with their shenanigans.

That has been in use for a little while now no? People are still jacking shipping prices and doing shady deals. I see bid's on seller that have 90-81% feedback people still use these guys for what ever reason.

Please Remember that many eBay Sellers have more costs than you see.
*They pay eBay to list the Item *They pay a % of the final sale price to eBay *They pay % of Total Cash Amount to Paypal *They pay for the packaging materials *They spend time packaging the item and waiting at the Post office * If they overcharge on shipping, the highest bid will be less because over 95 % of ebay buyers calculate the total cost before they bid. This also gives the seller more and eBay less. I understand what you are Saying.... But the seller is not getting the same amount that you are Paying.
