<p>[QUOTE=&quot;umtrr-author, post: 267972, member: 5719&quot;]Actually, there is one site-- Amazon.com -- where this is how it works.&nbsp; (Other than the &quot;absorbing the USPS&quot; part.)&nbsp; If you&#039;re looking for a used book or CD on Amazon that is available through its affiliated sellers of such items, you get the price including a fixed and regulated amount for shipping.&nbsp; Amazon makes it a condition of using their site to charge a fixed price for the shipping, no more and no less.&nbsp; Their site, their rules. </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe, though I have not had any occassion to find out for sure, that combined shipping under this model indeed does not apply.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m surprised that eBay has not attempted to force this model into their system; perhaps they understand how many sellers (and perhaps buyers) they would lose.</p><p><br /></p><p>As has been noted above, I agree that there&#039;s the letter of the law when it comes to eBay policies, and then there&#039;s what actually happens.&nbsp; And our local Post Offices are indeed becoming more strict about regulations; still friendly but strict.&nbsp; I do wonder whether junk mail was subjected to the same weight, thickness, et al baloney that we mere First Class Mail users were; based on the number of credit card solicitations I contnue to receive, I doubt it...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
