warshawlawI usually quote a price and I always eat the difference if I am wrong. I made the bed so I will sleep in it.
If there is no shipping cost quoted on an auction I go into, I assume it will be exorbitant. If the seller is really out of line, I don't pay and either agree to rescind mutually or take the non-paying bidder hit. Who cares...better tha being stuck with a deal that burns your stomach acid.
Canada is an interesting shipping dilemma. I get the impression that it is a lot easier to ship stuff from Canada to USA than vice versa. My experience has been that the ebay shipping calculator is not always accurate on shipments to Canada. One buyer got all whacked out by a shipping quote I gave him because the calculator came up with a certain price and I just passed it on.
