<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1927931, member: 4626&quot;]I&#039;d definitely leave 2 stars for that.&nbsp; My personal policy is to leave 4 stars when I&#039;m charged actual shipping cost (because free shipping is 5 stars automatically, so I believe more than free should be at best 4 stars); 3 stars if I&#039;m charged more than it cost to ship if the handling (packaging, protection) clearly was less than I was charged, but not greatly so; and 2 if it was clearly nowhere near necessary to charge me that much.&nbsp; If it got to the point where the shipping was so unreasonable as to be worth 1 star, I&#039;d never have bought it in the first place (and if anything in the DSR was so bad as to deserve 1 star, I&#039;d probably be leaving an overall negative, or at best a neutral if the actual item was still otherwise OK).</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t mind covering the seller&#039;s shipping costs, but charging more for shipping and handling than it cost you is pretty blatantly against eBay&#039;s rules (though difficult to enforce, unfortunately).&nbsp; You don&#039;t get paid for your time; you get paid for your item.&nbsp; You&#039;re buying a product, not a service; the time it took the seller to list the item, package, etc. is their own problem, not the buyer&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also despise sellers that try to pad their profit by upping the shipping/handling cost beyond what it actually costs them to ship and package the item.&nbsp; That&#039;s just plain dishonest IMO.&nbsp; (And I don&#039;t have any sympathy for those doing so to cover their eBay/PayPal fees; you&#039;re supposed to to cover those in the price paid for the item.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
