However fat chance anything will come of it. For some reason Ebay continues to let people list that have 50 or more negetive feedbacks and a dozen or more complaints.

I am not saying that you have to agree with whatever the seller quotes as shipping, but if its not listed in the auction price and you dont ask...... live and learn.

Several times I have been taken advantage of on shipping costs and I try and explain that to the seller. If the seller refuses to budge, I pay what he wants and never buy from him again.
