I was recently in the same position as Jim with Jason's shipping charges. I bought 15 graded M101-5s from vintageinvestments for $219. The shipping charge was $33. I thought that was excessive, given that the box had less than $10 of postage on it. I bring this up not just to bitch, but to indicate to Jason that he might want to rethink his shipping policy, as no buyer is going to be thrilled with it.

But on the other hand, I decided not to complain because the shipping charges were listed up front in the auction. I never considered giving a negative. Getting a negative seems like a raw deal for a seller who did, after all, clearly state the charges and stuck to his part of the transaction. Why hammer him after the fact when it's too late for him to do anything about it?
