Thread: Seriously $14.95 shipping????

Your option is to wait until they fix the shipping back to zero, if they don't, report them to ebay, because increasing the shipping after the end of the auction is against their terms.
And don't pay for the item, they will not be able to win a complaint against you when they are the ones who violated the sale terms.

Unless, of course you want the razor even with the expensive shipping, in which case, you pay and get it, then report them to ebay and leave negative feedback due to their violation.

What type of proof would eBay require that this was a "bait and switch"?

They don't need any proof, they have the invoice the seller generated, so they know the seller put on shipping charges that were not in the listing. You should call ebay though - they often have long wait times, but then they'll tell you exactly what's going on and what you can do about it.

I can't read the guy's mind but ..... a medium flat rate box is about $14.00 for priority shipping. A small is half of that. A fatboy comes in a relatively fragile plastic case and the guy might want the added protection of the larger box with the additional packing. Now I skimmed the thread so I don't know if the shipping amount was posted in the auction description/details but if it was the seller is within bounds. Shipping via USPS is going up again on January 22nd. I remember the good old days of three cent stamps for post cards and five cents for letters. Eventually these will be the good old days. Save your money.

Jimmy, how can I save my money when stamps are 50 cents apiece?
