    I sold 2 items to someone who didn't ask for combined shipping and then paid quick with both shipping charges . I sent out the items and they got them fine.
    Days later they noticed the shipping actual cost was only half what they paid. then they threated my to give them a refund. when i didn't they didn't just give me no stars about shipping.
    But rather 2 negatives and just complaints about me trying to make extra money. Never mind the fact they got thier items in quick fine shape.
    I reported them to ebay who removed the negatives from my account.

    I always ask about combined shipping Before i bid or win at least. But don't give negatives unless you didn't get the items in good condition.

    If I buy multiple items and the person does not combine I tell them I better get them in separate packages ...I mean in your case the items should be getting there in fine shape regardless of what the person payed, it's a little messed up for someone to pocket half the shipping

    I think the shipping was way too high….. But if it was listed in the description and there was no contact from the seller to you before the auction ended it’s on you! As most of you know eBay charges to list an item, charges when the item sells and then PayPal (owned by eBay) takes a piece as well when the buyer receives payment on the item, making it harder and harder to make a profit on whatever someone is selling. Some sellers feel to make up for this they should charge ridiculous shipping costs, of course this as well is wrong but at least you have all the info you need up front to make an educated purchase. Yeah it sucks, but that’s just the way it is. He was nice enough to come down on his initial high shipping costs and did not have to so I really can’t see leaving anything but positive feed back with a note on his high shipping or just don’t leave any feedback and don’t make any future purchases from that individual.

    Everyone has to pay those ebay fee's so that should'nt be an excuse, I don't over charge people just cause I have to pay fee's , and it's against ebay rules to over charge on shipping to make a profit and skip ebay fee's...I would've gladly kept my mouth shut if he had at least put effort into shipping this thing or at least insure it now that you've over charged by so much...It really depends on the reply I get, But I highly doubt it'll be a positive feedback if nothing is refunded but that's just me

    I think the final value fee on e-bay now includes the shipping charged, so you pay extra in the final value fee if you over charge on shipping.

    i would leave a neautral because the shipping was upfront. he is trying to recover fees which is ludicrous for o ercharging that much. but would leave a neautral not a negative.
