If it doesn't say in the auction 'will combine shipping', then don't expect it...e-mail first!<br /><br />Depending on the price of the cards (or whatever else is up for auction), I think the only way these guys can make money is by charging a little extra for shipping. That 1 cent I paid for Milli Vanilli's Greatest Hits (kidding) just isn't going to pay the bills, y'know?AvenueDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410527962292190560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-11370185566833303882009-12-04T12:24:41.476-07:002009-12-04T12:24:41.476-07:00I totally agree with Brian--if the seller charges ...I totally agree with Brian--if the seller charges me five seperate shipping charges, then I will send him five individual Paypal payments.Salhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062573971073651593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-50296440884052896722009-12-02T23:09:08.262-07:002009-12-02T23:09:08.262-07:00I too would be expecting 5 separate bubble envelop...I too would be expecting 5 separate bubble envelopes. <br /><br />I hate ebay gougers as well.

Second, after asking the seller to combine and he refuses, I pay for my winnings. Five auctions, five payments. Paypal allows you to pay individually. If he doesn't want to save me money, I'm not saving him money by saving him paypal fees.<br />Second, a friendly email back to the seller after payment to remind him that these were indeed five seperate auctions and i expect five seperate shipments. If I do not receive said, expect negative feedback.<br />This will force the seller to ship five bubble envelopes, and five times the postage, thereby costing him more money than if he had done the logical and combined shipping.<br /><br />I don't tolerate ignorant ebay sellers, if they want to try and gouge me, I will make life as difficult as I can for their troubles.Captain Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189853561737282234noreply@blogger.com
