These choices are yours to make, if the net cost of ~$18 is felt to be excessive. I suspect that if you asked the seller to cancel the auction because of your belated trepidation, you would be relieved of contract continuation, by mutual consent of cancellation. Most concerned buyers will request reduced fees, after auction closing. I believe that most informed bidders understand the seemingly excessive S/H fees. In the past, the body of my auctions included information explaining to bidders the general &quot;handling&quot; costs associated with eBay selling including mandated PayPal payment/requirements. EBay canceled my auctions, informing me that it was unacceptable to explain selling costs, or share these costs with the buyer. I received numerous positive responses from buyers for my candid explanation, including feedback where the buyers would not rate the shipping, while rating all other auction facets maximumly. Positive buyer feedback included facetious statements of &quot;reasonable&quot; S/H charges, and general understanding. Most sellers want contented customers, and would generally be pleased if you purchased one of the &quot;competitive&quot; greater net cost offerings with &quot;free shipping&quot;, or went to eBid where the offered net prices are generally greater than eBay. You can share your concerns with eBay, who will probably chastise the seller, or cancel the sellers offerings. I know that many buyers believe it is a matter of principle to challenge the charges, but personally I would prefer to avoid this internal conflict by just not placing bids on offensive auctions. Just an opinion, with wishes for future satisfaction/peace, worth at least what was paid for same.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
