I've only sold a few things on Evil-Bay, but I only charge $5.00 shipping and I use the USPS. It normally comes to around $4.20, so I do make a very minor "profit" off of shipping I suppose.
I never will buy anything from anyone charging more than that themselves. As a matter of fact, I think the highest I ever paid for shipping was about $7.00. This guy is too obnoxious to deal with. I would make him ship each item individually and give him negative feedback.

Shipping is a very tricking thing on eBay. I sold just recently a lot of 6 Figures with some blueprints and some accessories. the lot sold for $8.00 which is nothing I lost 23% by the time eBay and Pay Pal got there fees. I charged $6.50 for shipping. The box with all the items weighed 1 pound 2 ounces. Cost of shipping to Ohio from NY was $4.95 Priority mail. So you the seller would figure your safe the buyer was in CA Guess what the cost for the same exact thing was $8.70. I lost money and of course the buyer not that I asked would ever agree to pay the extra cost. So when it comes to shipping it is hit and miss. So how do you win I would like to know I have been selling on eBay for 6 years and out of 10 auctions I wind up losing on 3 of them on average. I am in no way taking the sellers side or the buyers just a point to make. And what CTG said is correct about the shipping cost being different all around the country. The post office has what they call Zone rates.

Sheesh.. buyers are just as bad as sellers...
Look, it's simple. If the auction didn't say it combined shipping, then don't expect combined shipping. The seller could have been nice and combined it, but he didn't. Now, where he is now combining and selling in one package, he should offer a discount on the shipping because it is one package. That is the only "leg" the buyer has. He should insist on seperate packages and he has a case for seperate packages. As a buyer, you need to pay more attention to the fine details. Technically, the seller did nothing wrong and people bitching about giving him feedback and going onto EBay and getting involved are just wrong. If the seller insists on combined shipping, then there should be a combined shipping cost, not seperate. The seller is a douche in that regard but no one else should be getting involved, that's just being one yourself. The guy is asking for advice, and that's all we should be giving. If the auction doesn't say anything, then guess what, it's not combined shipping. And before anyone bitches about "sellers sticking together" or any crap like that. I don't sell on EBay, I only buy. And I make sure and read and don't assume whenever I buy anything. Six seperate transactions, six seperate shipping costs, should receive six seperate packages. End of story. Nothing more to it. If the seller insists on combining shipping,then you insist on a combined shipping cost since BY THE SALE CONTRACT AGREED BY BOTH OWNER AND SELLER there is no combined shipping. That is the case you bring to EBay.

I have learned my lesson trust me LOL!!!
I have had sellers not combine shipping they did not mention it. I did not ask so I did not expect it. I did ask after the auction ended and of course the answer was no and I did not argue about it. |

Cancel the transaction and you should receive the negative feedback as you're the one not holding up your end of the bargain.
