I have started selling some of my excess legos on e-bay. I would not have a
problem combining shipping cost and that would be the first thing that would
enter my mind if someone won more than one auction. I have not encountered
anyone that refused to follow what is an expected and obvious practice.
When I post items I am not sure of the weight, so I can't offer a postal
rate at posting on some items. If the amount I post is less than the actual
postage then I will refund the difference via PAYPAL. This is one of the
great things are about PAYPAL, it works both ways. This is nothing more
than a fairness issue. As a buyer I refused to be taken advantage of by
another seller. As a seller I don't to cost myself to the pooint of lossing
money on an auction.
