<p>[QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 1595676, member: 34882"]I only read the OPs original post but here's my take- If I sold something and I offered combined shipping I would honor that even if that resulted in me losing money. If I didn't offer combined shipping but you had won multiple auctions, I would still attempt to work a deal with you were maybe I could get auction close plus shipping that equaled at least my face value loss. I have sold items before on Ebay and made a mistake with the listing and then honored that mistake. Ebay gives ample time to review your listings before you post so if I make an error I own up to it. Even though Ebay basically allows sellers to back out with no recourse besides a negative feedback. In my case I always have honored my errors and always will it's a matter of principal for me, although I realize not everyone is the same way. I also once sold an item that was a digital code that the buyer claimed was already redeemed, I calmly advised the buyer that I would immediately issue a refund while researching the issue. Turns out the person I bought the bulk codes from had indeed passed off on me a used code. I know a refund would have been sufficient and the buyer was ok with that. But I actually went out of my way spent more money to buy a single code for that buyer as I had none left and then sent it free to the buyer as it wasn't ok with me that I caused the buyer troubles. That buyer sent me a very nice email in regards to the issue after that which made it worth my while, basically stating that they had never experienced the level of care I had taken with their issue before and they truly appreciated it. </p><p>That being said if a seller sold multiple items and had a no combined shipping policy but then combined all items in one packaged and charged me individually for each shipped I would leave them a negative feedback. I have had instances where I've won multiple items at a low cost from the same seller and they have contacted me asking if I wouldn't mind them all being shipped together. In this instance I have always agreed and also stated that no change in invoice shipping charge is necessary. This being as they were honest and fourth right over the issue respecting my end of the deal and inquiring how I felt over it and I had no problems as I agreed to each auction price plus shipping on an individual basis. But if a seller charges multiple shipping charges say $3 an item x4 items and then combines all items together for a total of cost items + $12 shipping and then ships me all items in one bubble mailer with a cost of $2 or in some cases a single stamp or two, I myself would be inclined to leave neutral or negative feedback based on this. My reasoning may seem strange, but each item I bid on or buy it now is a separate business transaction and I agree to that items cost & shipping for that item separately. If a seller is trying to maximize their profits and are unhappy with sale price and then decides to take advantage of me by shipping all items together without offering combined shipping or at least contacting me over the issue and making a compromise, talking it over I have no problem leaving neutral or negative. In over eight years on Ebay as a buyer/seller I have only left 3 negative feed backs for sellers despite many issues that were amicably resolved. And as a seller I have never received a negative or neutral.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
