Ok, so I bought two games on ebay the other day. One of them was $12 , and the other was $18. They were from the same seller. He had his shipping rate set at $10 a piece (is that even legal?) for one game, but I was thinking that if I bought 2 games he would combine shipping and ship both of them for $10. So I buy them both , and he says that he will combine shipping for "ONLY" $15,. I wanted to puke. I emailed him back saying that most sellers will ship 2 games for around $6. So I just got an email saying he will except $12 , but he is gonna send these things the slowest way possible, not priority or anything. Is this fair ??? I really feel cheated , considering I have 200+ ebay transactions , and this has never happened to me. Please tell me that I am right for being pissed ! :angry:

You got what you deserved...actually, he's being quite NICE on you seeing how you should have asked him first. I regularly ask questions, and just today it saved me from a $200 shipping fee on some Atari computer merch (money I don't have).

I actually did email him first. He said "I will combine shipping". So I figured that he would combine them for a decent price. Oh well...

I'm sure the two monitors alone will cost a pretty penny to ship.

Oh, no doubt.....but if Dell can send me a 19 inch monitor for $20, I'm sure it woud'nt be any more then $50 for the two monitors, and $75, MAYBE $100 TOPS, for actuall shipping.
Good thing you noticed that, Ed. LOL

you have to take into consideration that UPS and others give HUGE shippers like Dell big discounts on shipping due to the quantity.
