I completely understand Brian's frustration, and I respect his opinion, but...
There are ALL kinds of sellers, and all kinds of buyers, on ebay. You will never know exactly what's going on in their heads, but I really think that as long as they state their shipping up front, the buyer should (as Brian did) take that into account in their bidding, and then as long as the item arrives safely....just enjoy the item you won.
I got chewed out right and left by a buyer, because I charged $5.00 for priority insured shipping. I said "sorry", refunded ALL of his shipping, then made sure he could see the actual shipping cost on the label. No, I received no apologies, and I'm sure he dinged me for excessive shipping.
