If the sellers did not disclose exactly what they were charging for shipping and handling in the listing, then I agree it was very unfair and they deserve a poor rating. If, however, the $7.50 and $15.50, respectively, was disclosed in the listings as the amounts that would be charged to the winners as S&H (and thus you knew exactly the amount you were going to be charged for S&H before you decided to bid and thus you could have taken that into account in deciding how much to bid), then that's a very different situation.

People like to complain about shipping even after they agree to pay it... it's just one of those backwards things that never changes. I mean, if I was charged $7.50 for shipping, I would accept that for what it is. I certainly wouldn't expect the bubble mailer to be filled with rocks to get the price up to $7.50. It's something you agree to up front, not something that is negotiable after the fact.
