<p>[QUOTE=&quot;d_lairson, post: 267906, member: 8441&quot;]This is my final word on the matter... I think that I have gotten too worked up over this. I mean when I think about it I have before and already since paid shipping charges in excess of $2.50. So the seller charged me $2.00 for their time, I can live with that (after hours of consuling and group therapy) and I will let it go. I would just like to point out for the record that eBay&#039;s rules state ( <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/tutorial/feecirctutorial/intro.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/tutorial/feecirctutorial/intro.html" rel="nofollow">http://pages.ebay.com/help/tutorial/feecirctutorial/intro.html</a> )</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Seller can only charge the actual amount it costs to package and ship the item. A small handling fee may also be applied for the amount of time spent packaging and preparing the item for shipment. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, any additional fees associated with printing supplies, the cost of gas, or the amount of time spent waiting in line at the post office should be built into the starting price of the listing. Such fees are associated with the cost of doing business, and are not considered part of the handling fee. Seller is not permitted to include the cost of business in the shipping and handling charges, since this is a form of fee circumvention and can be misleading to buyers. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So when the seller of this item told me that the extra money for gas and time at the post office was figured into the price of shipping they were wrong. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s it. It&#039;s out of my system. I am going to e-mail the seller and explain to them that I was put off by the shipping charge and that for my money I expected something more than a #10 envelope. I have to admit that other than that this was a great seller. I bought the item on thursday and had it in my hands on monday. It&#039;s this whole shipping thing, I think I&#039;m takeing out my frustration on the wrong person.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
