I bid and won 13 seperate items from a seller last week. He said in his descriptions that he combined shipments. I had his ZIP code and knew the approximate weight of what I was buying so figured I had a rough idea of what the actual shipping charges were going to be (around $50), I also had no problem if he wanted to pop in $5 or $10 extra for handling. I get the bill though and he is trying to charge $97.12. This is not the total of the shipping charges listed in the individual auctions, so he didn't just goof and forget to combine. He's combining 13 items into two boxes that will ship for around $50 total and he;s only giving about $15 off what it would be if he mailed all 13 boxes seperate.


So far I have e-mailed the seller 5 days in a row simply asking him how many boxes he was mailing me and how much each box weighed. I have not yet said anything else or expressed any displeasure. He has not responded.

Will Ebay doink me with a non paying bidder over this? (doesn't matter, I will take it rather than hand this guy $50 free). Do they expect me to pay no matter what kind of outrageous charges he tries to drop on me? I say he is screwing Ebay out of revenue with the shipping charges, every auction he has lists charges that are about double the actual costs, now he is going for $50 all at once.
