<p>[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 1498367, member: 17555"]I don't think anyone is promoting the idea of "lying" when you give feedback. However the expectation that a seller should structure their auction in a certain way or you leave them neutral is kinda wierd sounding to me. Meaning you freely bid in the auction, get an item, are happy with the item, and then ding the seller because shipping wasn't structured as you think it should be... lol. Kinda like going into a bar and drinking a beer, then complaining to the bar maid about the all those excessive bubbles in the draft even though they were right in plain sight.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always consider shipping costs when I bid, and I think most others do also.. pretty simple math. And I can say that i have 'never' checked or added up the postage of the item upon receipt nor worried about if the seller actually spent every cent of the shipping cost on actual shipping expense because each seller will have a different total landed cost that is inclusive of more than just postage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silly subject and a silly thing to worry about imo. As has already been stated, try to buy from an auction house, or Amazon, or anywhere else on the web and you'll most likely find shippingn costs added in to the total... and in most cases it will be more than the actual postage and packing. So you can either change your expectations, or not shop on any online outlets, or be happy being unhappy most of the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
