<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1594710, member: 15929&quot;]In a simple world perhaps yes. But eBay does not differentiate between actual shipping and any subsequent &quot;handling&quot; charges where &quot;handling&quot; is used to recoup costs associated with &quot;shipping&quot;. These costs can include shipping supplies (since bubble mailers and packing tape are not free), packing supplies (such as Saf-t-mailers and/or bubble wrap are not free), and actual time spend packaging the item (time is money).</p><p><br /></p><p>To think that ONLY actual postage costs should be charged for &quot;shipping&quot; is fairly short sighted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, some sellers can afford the luxury of not charging for these overhead expenditures but others simply cannot. If this were a high volume seller, then he would certainly cut his losses by combining shipping but judging from the feedback, I just would not classify the seller as &quot;high volume&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems to me that a lot of folks like to nickel and dime some sellers to death. Until, that is, they start accruing some losses of their own in which case passing some of those losses off to the buyer seems like a reasonable assumption.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
