Tim NewcombA further (final?) reflection:
I think I dislike this type of overcharging more than any other kind, because you can't foresee it and avoid the auction. I too am used to paying $4 and sometimes more for a lot of items, and I factor that into my bidding. If it's well packed and includes insurance, I have no complaints.
Here the problem is that the seller stated the shipping charge, but not that it would only buy a 39-cent stamp and a 3-cent envelope. It's hard to avoid that kind of sneaky practice.
But once burned, you CAN avoid the seller (who does buy and sell on this board) in the future. That's my plan from here on out-- I don't think I'm the first to conclude this about him.
Regards to all--
