<p>[QUOTE="d_lairson, post: 267885, member: 8441"]I have no problems paying reasonable shipping costs. If the item needs a box, i'll pay for a box, if it needs bubble wrap, I'll pay for the bubble wrap, that sort of thing. But when did it become acceptable to pass of overhead as shipping and handling? I did know that the price of shipping was $2.50 before I bid, and I paid it willingly, almost happily at finding somewhat reasonable shipping rates. But I think I felt a bolt pop in my brain when I say those stamps for $0.41. </p><p><br /></p><p>Look, I gave the seller positive feedback, and 5 stars on everything except shipping. I didn't say that people shouldn't buy from them, I've been an ebay member since 1997 and I have slowly watched shipping cost climb to the point where they are out of control. This has got to stop. If someone knows that they have set costs that will be charged on every item like labor or gas (know matter who or where they sell the item, those costs will still be there. It's not like they had to make a special trip to the post office for me) they should be factored into the price of the auction. These are people who are trying to make extra money off ebay whithout paying the fees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
