I've read the section about 'excessive shipping fees' that I agreed to before I was able to list things on ebay. It's policy against something that's not well defined, so it's entirely up to the ebay's discretion whether any specific case violates it or not. So the buyer has absolutely no involvement whatsoever in this particular part.
Yeah I have to agree. It's hard to argue with a shipping cost that you've agreed to pay for and that is clearly shown on the face of the auction. This is why I just avoid the high-shipping auctions now so I don't get frustrated or angry when it arrives.
