[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 986697, member: 26972"]I have reflected on it plenty. Over 1500 purchases since November. I reward those sellers with outstanding performance with the highest rating. those with ok performance with ok ratings etc etc This particular seller has 4374 feedback score. By simply not having a combined shipping policy or by purposely omitting that he does not combine ship - he deceiving IMO. A seller with that amount of history knows better. I certainly do. I am construing that, as the same practice as purposely omitting flaws in a photographed item. Purposely omitting info in a listing. I think it is a very reasonable expectation to expect a combined shipping discount. I know I would be more than thrilled to have one buyer save me all the hassle by buying multiple items.
