Bill StoneThis seems to be a recurring theme of excessive shipping costs--( see April posts). I won't bid on an ebay item unless the shipping/handling fees are clearly stated or confirmed by the seller by email. Why don't the auction houses state the fees in advance? They know the size and weight of the item and the rates of insurance can be stated as the actual cost. While I had no reasonable expectation that I would be sucessful in the REA Auction ( way below the actual sale prices) I wasn't aware that this could be such a problem --just so they know I am sure there are other bidders , like me, that like to know in advance the bottom line on a bid. Other than this negative aspect it really was a great auction.
