<p>[QUOTE="jallengomez, post: 2070035, member: 19748"]I don't know how the exchange about the combined shipping went, but it may have been a case where the seller got a feeling that he was going to get a neg anyway for not agreeing to a low enough amount to satisfy the buyer with the shipping charges. In that case, if the seller thought it was a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario, then don't. At least that way you keep your wares.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've said this countless times before, but when buyers bid on an auction they are agreeing to whatever shipping terms are stipulated by the seller. Unless the seller specifically states they will combine shipping, you can't just assume it. And when they do state they will combine shipping, the buyer needs to ask BEFOREHAND what the combined shipping charges will be. Also, from how you worded the comments above, it sounds like you wanted the seller to ship to you for only the cost of postage. However, in the last paragraph of your post you mention "handling." Keep in mind that those charges are for shipping AND handling. That means the actual stamp price, packaging materials, etc. Sellers shouldn't have to lose money on shipping and handling, yet buyers routinely leave poor ratings for shipping charges just because the amount they paid was more than the postage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
