I do not think that a neg for the seller is appropriate. You knew the price upon entering the contract. If the item was $25 with free shipping, no one would have a problem. So $10 with $15 shipping is the same thing. Just factor ALL costs before placing a bid on an auction. It is like a buyers premium in a quality sports auction. If you can afford or think a $100 bid is your max, you don't bid $100 you adjust the max bid for the buyers premium. I do not see why the seller is being persecuted, it is his terms and if you do not like it; don't bid. The seller did nothing wrong, illegal, or immoral so reporting him to ebay or leaving a neg feedback is not justified.
