i should have screwed him over.

Like I said, "shipping charges" and "postage" are two different things.

Like I said, your seller seems to be rather generous with his 'handling' charge. $23 worth of generous. I can see charging a few bucks for the gas to get to the p.o., and maybe a couple more for fussing with customs forms, but gas and a steak dinner? Damn.

Suggested feedback: $10 item + $16 postage + $23 handling = WTF!!     It could be posted as a positive if you feel so inclined.


Better luck next time.

this is the Ebay guide http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-shipping.html it would be worth contacting them about this seller. I agree with madmark73 ideas of feedback adding your opinion of the item. In the UK the feedback system now adds a star system that includes shipping costs is it the same in US/Canada.
