[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 278856, member: 307"]Although I agree that he certainly gains by not combining the shipping and insurance fees, it is possible that he does not actually read the correspondence sent to him, and merely invoices them as a knee-jerk? I must admit that what you have done is a creative way of demanding a direct response whether he cares to explain it to you or not. What might also happen though is this: He sends you each coin separately and simply goes on with his life as he intended. He listed them separately and may have some part of that shipping calculated into his bottom line on each coin. What I think you may be missing is: Did the listing have any mention of combined shipping? Could you have asked before you bid? Are you not now shifting this responsibility on the seller a bit late? No one likes to see someone else "get away with one" at our expense, but these situations can also be avoided with a little forethought and tact.
