I won an auction for $1.70US and within their auctions they state that they combine comics soo I message them telling them I want to place a few more bids but the auctions end in 2 days..Is it alright? They told me that they didn't combine the shipping THOUGH it states it in their auction....Humm...Sooo shipping to Australia was $10. I'd also lost a bunch of their other auctions on the same day i won the $1.70 comic.
I thought fine..They must be going to used the USPS bags which are around that price to ship internationally. I paid.
The comic arrives in a normal white envelope with one piece of cardboard..And it states $4.60 on the bag....$5.40 was pocketed. The comic wasn't insured otherwise I would have paid an extra $1.70.
Now seriously...The cardboard, sticky tape wouldn't cost that extra $5.40. I've sent the seller a friendly message asking them about shipping and if it was possible to get a refund on that extra money as I call that over the top.

| So, hypothetically, if I, as a seller, state a flat postage price of $5.00 and postage, for some reason, happens to be $7.00 (after packaging materials, etc.) should I be able to email the purchaser and say "sorry, postage was actually $2.00 more than stated...send me the extra money and I'll get that right out to you." If I, as a buyer, received an email like that I'd be bent. I'm all about keeping shipping low, but the buyer does bear some responsibility when agreeing to a final price at the auctions close. I sense a pattern of buyer's "shipping" remorse. It does suck that they wouldn't honor the combine shipping stated in their auction. Does this relate to the extra "$5.40" in charges? It doesn't sound like it. Just neg. them...what are they gonna do about it anyway?

I understand your points...If I overcharge a buyer on something I will give them a refund especially if it's $5.40 over. As your main price for shipping does include your handling charges...But the $5.40 for handling is a bit over the top...Granted it isn't as bad as last time.
I don't want to 'just neg them' because then it's just being nasty..So it's why I sent them a message explaining my points but all in a nice mannor. I want to try and work things out before using the feedback system...All it might take is for someone to send them a message for them to wisen up their act (then again maybe not).
It's not really a buyers remorse..It's more of 'I'm tired of people hiking up their shipping costs.' and i will say something about it to the seller. And it does get a little sketchy because it's being sent overseas.
I also understand that the buyer does bear some responsiblity when it comes to the final shipping costs but like i stated i thought $10 was alright because i thought it was going to come in one of those prepaid usps flatrate bags...$1 or $2 over their stated price I won't bat an eyelid by $5.40 i do.

Well that's definitely annoying. Given that this is the second time you've payed $10 for shipping, seen that actual costs were much lower, and got upset over it, it might be time to stop bidding on items with $10 S/H charges. Otherwise it's just gonna keep happening, no?
Or else contact the seller before hand and confirm that they'll really be using the 10 bucks to cover expenses.

| Set...have you noticed this more since ebay raised the fees for sellers (or is it still to early to tell). Living where you do you have a unique perspective. I was J/K on my "just neg. them" comment BTW

Mmm...I think some sellers shipping fees have always been high no matter what. But I think sometimes sellers who ship internationally will take advantage of their buyers...Not saying it happens all the time but it does pop up every so often. I've just bid on auctions where the sellers are like this...I've had many good experiences on eBay to let these two sour my opinion...But I guess because eBays rules have changed moreso it'll change the way i leave feedback...This still doesn't mean I wouldn't have negged the first seller as I would of..They deserved it and still do even if i copped a neg back in return...My score shows you i'm a honest buyer/seller.

Lol, yea...$10shipping is seeming to be bad for me from within Australia or from the usa...Ahhhh nunchucks!! But overal I will take your advice and message the seller beforehand to find out exactly what's what.
