Use the "Ask Seller a Question" feature to ask
about shipping expense well before the auction closes where shipping expense is
not specified in the ebay listing. Then hold them to it after the
auction. If you don't like what the seller says shipping will be (or if
they don't reply), don't bid. Some of the real abusers are the
sellers of automotive sales literature and ads. They frequently charge $4
to $5 and shipping is but a small fraction of those amounts. Like
you, I am strongly against excessive shipping charges or
surprises.

Subject: [FWDLK] eBay Prices have gone
Stupid
Maybe I am cheap, but have eBay shipping prices
gone stupid? I bid what I thought a couple things were worth for my 64
Fury and ForwardLook Coronets, and shipping prices are almost more than the
item (not shown in the listing). These are small, not fragile items, and
the shipping costs shown on the (used) boxes show the real shipping costs, and
old newspaper sure isn't expensive. Are sellers making up for low bids
by extensive padding of shipping costs (or am I just
cheap)?
