<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1931114, member: 15929&quot;]Absolutely! It was a CONTRACT and as pointed out, a more or less one-sided contract based upon trust.</p><p>Trust that the coin being purchased from the picture was the that would be received.</p><p>Trust that the amount paid for shipping would reflect the shipping that was actually used.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yet, it&#039;s still a &quot;blind&quot; contract which is entered into on certain &quot;assumptions&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>THIS is why buyers have the &quot;Feedback&quot; options available AND the Detailed Sellers Ratings (DSR&#039;s)</p><p><br /></p><p>Those DSR&#039;s allow buyers to anonymously rate their &quot;opinions&quot; on 4 important subjects with regard to sellers:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. How accurate was the item description?</p><p>2. How satisfied were you with the seller&#039;s communication?</p><p>3. How quickly did the seller ship the item?</p><p>4. How reasonable were the shipping and handling charges?</p><p><br /></p><p>Item number 4 asks how &quot;reasonable&quot; were the shipping and handling charges?</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, if the seller had used a padded mailer with a printed label, I would consider that &quot;his charge&quot; of $5.25 was &quot;reasonable&quot;. This even allows the seller to make an additional $1 or so on the sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, since the seller did not specify in the listing that the coin would be shipped in a 2x2 enclosed in a standard business envelope yet a $4.75 &quot;handling charge&quot; would still be incorporated into the total &quot;shipping charges&quot; charged AND the coin was mailed using only a .49 cent stamp, I would have found the &quot;Shipping and Handling Charges&quot; to be &quot;unreasonable&quot; and my rating would have reflected that &quot;feeling&quot; or &quot;opinion&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>As usual, that&#039;s just my opinion on the sellers performance over a positive feedback transaction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
