HAH ... look at how much this guy is trying to rip off on shipping costs...

first of all, here is the link.

so the item has buy it now for $2.49, and I wanted 2 of them. I email this guy and ask him what the shipping costs will be, due to it not stating that on the auction description. Also note that in his SHIPPING area on his description, he states that when buying more than 1 item, each additional item will have a reduced shipping cost of $2. so if it costs $5 to ship 1 item, it will be $8 to ship 2 of them.

So I get his email back and the total, for $5 worth of merchandise that weigh no more than 1lb total, is $21. So by his "$2.00 off 2nd item" price, that means It is $9 shipping for the first item, then $7 shipping for the 2nd item. and btw, this is using UPS ground.

i think it's great how people try to do that to you. i emailed him back and told him good luck selling it at that price, and i went elsewhere.

okay, rant is over 🙂
 
That's why you ALWAYS ask the seller about shipping costs if not detailed in the auction. He's probably made out quite well on uninformed buyers who pay the inflated cost because they are too afraid of getting a NPB on their record.
 
But the thing is that he WILL sell that them at that price, with that shipping cost, because most people are too stupid to even ask! 😛
 
this is easy. Never buy on an auction without a quote in text or a quote to your zip... if you don't like the ((purchace price + shipping costs) vs (B&M || Newegg)... don't buy... duh. I don't see what the big deal is... they lower the price and jack the shipping so people are more likley to check out the $0.99 DVD's with 14$ shipping....

yeah if someone can't be bothered to include a shipping cost or the shipping calculator, I can't be bothered to bid on their item.
