Default SHOELESSJIM & Vintage Investment ebay situation

Posted By: PC

Leaving negatives solely for clearly stated shipping charges is outrageous. The $6 charge is clearly stated in Jason's auction, and it sounds like Jason gave a discount on the other auction wins. If you don't like a seller's shipping charges, then don't bid, or bid less.

I've purchased from Jim and (I think) Jason before. Sorry, but unless I am missing something here this is bad form on Jim's part.

On a related note, I recently purchased 36 slabbed cards and 1/2 of a 1970s set off eBay from a dealer I've done business with many times before. I paid $80 in shipping -- $4 for the first card, plus $2 for each other card, plus $6 for the 1/2 set. Did I overpay for shipping? Definitely. But the charges were calculated exactly as the seller stated, and I factored the cost into my bids, so I have nothing to complain about. In fact, I'm quite pleased with my wins, and what I paid.
