<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2145201, member: 27832&quot;]As for the original seller, he has the right to refuse to combine shipping, and we have the right not to buy from him.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve several times encountered sellers who explicitly (even loudly) proclaim that they WILL NOT combine shipping on their auctions. Usually, it was someone trying to sell (say) individual silver quarters below spot, with (say) a $3 shipping fee per coin. &quot;Too bad&quot;, I think to myself, as I move on to the next auction; &quot;if you weren&#039;t boneheaded about shipping, I&#039;d buy several of them, and you&#039;d end up with more money in your pocket, as opposed to a bunch of items that never sell.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The funny thing is, <b>this also applies to &quot;free shipping&quot;</b>. I sometimes see someone listing (say) silver dimes at a BIN of $2 with &quot;free shipping&quot;. They don&#039;t move very quickly. If the seller would list them at $1 each + $1 shipping, with additional items shipping free, we could do business; he&#039;d save time and effort, and we&#039;d both end up with more money (at the post office&#039;s expense).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
