Message:: [QUOTE="Prime Mover, post: 1595382, member: 38783"]I don't think there's any argument with that logic - if it really costs you that much to ship, then I can't see a reason why you would discount it.  Without a timely request from the buyer otherwise, I can't see an issue with charging the same buyer separate shipping on the separate auctions especially if you already packed them up. That being said, if the seller contacted you prior to you packaging up each separate coin and asked you to wait and combine the shipping, would you have?  I think the argument can be had that while 3 separate 1-coin packages can easily require a charge of $7 each, stuffing the other 2 coins into the first package should only incur minimal up-charges so that instead of $21, it may end up being say $12 as an example.  In that case, I would certainly say that I as the buyer could have a reasonable hope that you might be willing to lower the shipping since your actual cost was less.  In my case, if the seller had said "I already packed them up individually and the actual cost was {equal|close} to the proposed rate so I can't really offer any discount", I can't see me really having much of an argument, unless I was trying to be a complete jerk.[/QUOTE]
