And what's up with filing charges for high shipping charges? It's "shipping and handling", he can charge whatever he wants. Nobody is forcing you to buy them...



Quoting steveGLS:
Truf, and if he gets in trouble for the high shipping charges, he will just have to lower them and then increase the price of the product even more to make up for the extra fees. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif



But that really is my point. He might not be doing anything illegal but he is clearly attempting to deceive buyers. If he was completely open and wanted people to know up front that they would need to pay $135 a set, he'd sell them for $130 with a $5 flat international shipping rate. He wants people to jump on the 'buy it now' because they see a more reasonable price and then once they are committed to the sale he sticks them another $50 knowing that they cannot back out. Ebay has a clear policy about not overcharging for shipping and this is exactly the reason why.

And that's not strictly true. Ebay states:-

Quote:
When using calculated shipping, make sure the calculated cost isn't higher than the actual shipping cost. If so, it's considered excessive shipping, which isn't allowed on eBay.



How can charging $49.00 for shipping be fair in view of the above when it is delivered flat rate by regular post in a cardboard box without insurance, without recorded delivery, with $4.50 in postage on the box?

Cardboard boxes must be f***ing expensive in Thailand.

That is very true but the same could be said for any item that you pay for that is not significantly as described, damaged or does not arrive etc. No one forced you into the transaction but that doesn't give the seller the right to screw you over it!
 

I thought about replicating them but that shipping charge is what stopped me from buying them. If Shawn donates them, then I'd definately get them done.

Yeah, not a fan of the look. Although if replicas were made I might grab a set just to throw on the pile of parts I know I won't be able to get forever. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
