I've noticed quite a few posters have taken John Panzica to task for earlier bad shipping experiences. I haven't had any with him - yet - but the basic point is clearly wrong. Shipping costs, and the value of the item being shipped are two entirely different issues. They are related in insurance only, but that's not applicable in my situation. I've declined insurance, particularly for $11.70 on a total sale price of fifteen bucks. "Why complain about shipping, you got a good deal" only makes the good deal worse, and it's against the eBay rules. My only gripe is I was charged a significant amount of money which was unaccounted for - went to nothing but extra profit for the seller.
