You say Ken negotiates shipping charges after a sale. You say you offered a discount. Was that before or after Ken asked for one? I suppose it really doesn't matter that much...

What is obvious is Ken doesn't appreciate people who won't combine shipping charges on chips, and neither do I. If we were talking about multiple winning bids on bowling balls, it'd be a different matter.

It is also obvious that you didn't appreciate the auctions being charged individually to PayPal. Can you tell me what the real difference might be between charging each auction individually to PayPal, and charging the same individual shipping charges for each auction won?

Looks to me as though you are both culpable for creating bad blood here. While I wouldn't have reacted with a negative feedback, a neutral (or no feedback at all) would have been sufficient, neither would I have started multiple threads on this BB calling for all people to block Ken from their auctions. ...nor would I have jumped down Gene's throat for commenting on a separate squabble on the same subject involving Corporal Bongo and Bruce Konick.

....this all started over a buck or two? Sheesh!
