<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2145680, member: 46237&quot;]According to eBay policy:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;Unreasonable shipping or handling costs - The seller may add a reasonable shipping and handling fee to the final price of the item, but may not charge excessive shipping and handling fees, excessive required insurance fees, or excessive (or not applicable) taxes in an effort to make the item appear artificially inexpensive, to avoid eBay fees, or for any other purposes. A shipping and handling fee may cover the seller&#039;s reasonable costs for mailing, packaging, and handling the item.&quot;</i></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not a question of there being a terms of sale that didn&#039;t specify combined shipping. Setting up auctions to automatically combine shipping is complex and most sellers do not bother doing it. Most sellers will still combine shipping if you request a combined shipping total (there is even a mechanism for buyers to do just that).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s what it comes down to. If the seller does not combine shipping then he <i>must,</i> by eBay policy, still ship the items in a way that justifies the fees charged for shipping. This could be accomplished by shipping each item individually, or it could be accomplished by shipping it with a higher level of service (overnight, insured, tracking, etc.) as long as it gets up to around the actual shipping charged. What the seller <i>cannot</i> do, is ship the items combined, save money on shipping for himself, and pocket the difference. That is a violation of the seller policy <i>that he agreed to</i>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
