My $0.02 on this...
And given what we've seen from Al, that's what happened. He asked if
shipping could be combined, then (correct me if I'm wrong) paid for
full shipping after either an extended silence or a "no" response from
the vendor.
Having said that, the best option would have to
be asking up front
whether the seller will combine postage, if they don't explicitly state
one way or the other. At least that preempts any issues of that sort.
Agreed.
My take is that the buyer should have bene prepared to pay the spearate
shipping charges, after all, that's what was specified in the auction
lising. But that it is entirely reasoanble to ask if the seller would
combine shipping (and and they said they won;t then that's the end of it,
the buyer has to pay the full separate shipping charges). Bu the seller should not cancel an auction because a
buyer asks for this.
Period.
Absolutely. That just seems out of line. Having been an eBay seller,
I can identify with worrying about someone posting negative shipping
feedback if I didn't consolidate shipping, but not to the point where
I'd just cancel the auction after everything had been paid and sending
a bitchy response.
