Vic, you're missing the point entirely. By charging nine separate shipping and handling fees for nine chips in nine different auctions, I can expect (at the very least) nine different envelopes. Why anyone would want to ship that way is beyond me, so that's why people combine multiple-lot shipments into a single shipment, usually resulting in a savings on postage. That's what you did, and the total postage was $1.29. Yet you gave no refund from the total charge of $16.65, which you admitted you were keeping in order to recoup your costs of obtaining the chips. That's covered in the purchase price, not the shipping and handling. With a few bucks for the single business envelope you sent them in, and even a buck for gas to the post office, you overcharged me about ten bucks. And your only explanation is, to paraphrase a line from National Lampoon's Animal House, "You f*cked up. You trusted us."

I should ask the seller if he combines shipping on multiple wins, you claim, but I already tried that with you. After the fiasco with shipping nine chips, I asked you whether you would combine shipping on multiple lots of other chips you had up for auction. You responded "I prefer not to answer that question." So, since you had a scam in mind anyway, it wouldn't have mattered if I asked you or not.

You were caught with your pants down, and your reputation has suffered quite a bit. Yet you keep begging me to "let it go." It won't go away unless and until you resolve this swindle to my satisfaction.
