<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1926564, member: 31533"]If the seller chose to send it in the mail in that way and it got to you in the same shape as if it was sent that cost the seller more at the postoffice and in packaging, (like a bubble mailer, etc.) or a small box or whatever, then you got it as agreed.

Which if he buys a box instead of separately, probably rates maybe 10 cents. So, the seller put in about 64cents or less into cost of sending, not including cost for him to get to post office (assuming he went to post office and didnt' just leave it by the mailbox for the postman to pick up). So 5.25 - .64 is a big difference, even with paypal taking a cut of shipping and handling. If I was a seller, and charged that for shipping, I'm more likely to make sure it's in a bubble wrap mailer and a bit more postage, so spending more like 3.00 on it. Which only nets me 2.25 - paypal costs, but the customer is more likely to think I did a good job of sending it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes appearances count.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
