Been on EBAY 12+ years. NEVER had this happen before! Bid on & won 13 pairs of earrings (costume jewlery). Seller is 2 hours away. Total purchase is $12.87. COMBINED shipping (via Canada Post - "Standard Intnl" so not a courier service - just regular mail...) is being requested at $65.87!!!!!!!!!!
Yes- $65.87 for $12.87/13 earrings!
Never received a response to 1st request for total with combined shipping - except standard automated message from EBAY. 2nd message (personally sent) was told I had received the total with $65.87 in shipping. NO info is noted in selling listings about "handling" or packing - which I do ask about.
Most of us on/in the EBAY work on trust & common sense. How do I (or any other buyer) puchase multiple items from a seller who says they will combine shipping (presumably because it costs buyers less & the shipping charges are realistic & do not go to the seller: a win/win).
In over 12 years - the people I bought from were up front, reasonable, honest, in their combined shipping charges. I think this situation is nuts - and if it continues with/extends to other sellers will be the undoing of EBAY.
I look very forward to your suggestions & responses.
Very upset!
Best Regards,
Linda
