My point was, he -didn't- say that in the auction, or I wouldn't have bid. I asked him after bidding on 2 different auctions of his.
Anyway, all ended well, he cancelled my bids and let me out of the auction gracefully.
Still annoyed me though :)

part of the question guys was,isn,t ebay supposed to do something about sellers overcharging buyers???? we all know that if you don,t like the shipping charges don,t bid!!! that,s not a solution.

All my auctions on Ebay have the same S&H pricing:
With-in the US: $3
To Canada: $7
In the US, I will do the .50 every extra card up to $5, but once you eclipse that mark, I too move it to priority up to a pound...
As for Canada, after some real stupid problems with the Canadian Postal Service, I decided that I would no longer ship air mail, only Global Priority which I believe costs $6.20....
As for my shipping supplies, my packing is now this way:
Penny Sleeve: .01 LOL
Top Loader: I bought a bunch in bulk, think I figured it to be .03 cents each
5x8" Photo Mailer: .25-1.00 (Higher if I run out and have to rely on Target, Walmart, etc.
Then a 6x9 bubble mailer: .24 cents
I know I'm reduntant in protection practices, but I've gotten more thanks and credit for my packing than complaints... Card (in toploader) goes into the photo mailer wrapped in the Ebay invoice which leaves no movement, then the sealer photo mailer goes into the bubble mailer....
If anything, within the US, I make no money on shipping, to Canada, I can sometimes pull off a 5 to 10 cent profit...

Something I want to add besides "If you dont like it, dont bid. Plain and simple" You should already know how much you are willing to buy something for. I always calculate the shipping cost along with the price and make sure it doesnt exceed what I'm willing to pay. Shoot sometimes I find good deals from high shipping rates since no wants to bid on it since the rate is high and I get a good deal for the card. All in all its about what you are willing to pay! my two pennys

So you're right in the aspect of them only caring about the millions they make and the shareholders, but it actually does affect their bottom line.

i think it would have to be a REALLLLY big ship cost for them to do anything about it. id like to see them do anything about people charging $5 for shipping as it can be easily justified, and happens hundreds of times daily!! of course $10 shipping for single cards might put up a white flag, but you can get away with ALOT when it comes to ebay!!
the original item in question was $7 shipping to canada for a single card....that isn't anything thats gonna get you in trouble by ebay, i can pretty much guarantee that as ebay ALWAYS promotes international sales!!
