I think many who are trying to justify the auction house shipping prices, explain them, or compare them to ebay are still missing a very valid point. The shipping amount for 1 card was unknown.
So if this IS SOP, then why don't they say that up front? THAT'S where it's different from ebay. So what on ebay if someone has free shipping and someone else charges $10. At least you KNOW up front what the charge will be and you can factor it into a decision.
A question, specific to Legendary. Has anyone ever won something from them and the shipping charge was LESS than $20? If not, then why NOT indicate up front that S/H will be a minimum of $20?
Personally, I always allow for 20% above my high bid to account for the BP and other "surprises" (such as high S/H).
