beware of "andananautions"

When I post eBay auctions, which I don't do very often, I usually pre-package the item so that I can weigh the finished package and enter the details for the freight calculator. That makes for a quick and easy checkout without back-and-forth over invoices. However, I usually just have one thing listed at a time, so combining shipments isn't an issue. I also do the pre-packaging thing because I'm usually busy with work and laziness (which both take a lot of time and effort), so I plan ahead to minimize the barriers to my getting the thing shipped quickly once the auction closes. If I was a business and/or was listing a lot of items, then I'd probably need to handle things differently. There are plenty of reasons why a seller might not combine shipping, but a simple "sorry, I can't do that because of reasons" is a much better way to respond than a foaming-at-the-mouth rant followed by a rage-quit. -- Mark J.
