[QUOTE="BDA, post: 821828, member: 23590"]I've been on ebay, buying and selling since 1997... and I gotta say that while this guy is obviously a con artist of the worst type (advertising one thing, providing another), in most cases, it is buyers that allow this sort of stuff to go on by continuing to BID on their items. Its not up to the buyer to agree to the terms, bid, win, then come back and somehow expect to change the terms of the deal. If you dont like the deal, as in, dealers who refuse to combine shipping (I dont like them either), then dont bid. Support the dealers who do combine, or better yet, offer free shipping.. with good feedback. If the guy is telling you up front he wont combine shipments, you gotta know something is fishy... no honorable dealer of anything on ebay refuses to combine shipping. As for this fella on ebay... last I looked, he had 48 negs. All I am saying is that is fairly easy to protect yourself from unscrupulous dealers online... read the fine print, ask questions before bidding, check feedback, and deal with those dealers who give you good service.
