But if they are sending Priority Mail, then it is more incovenient for the buyer to place demands on the seller -- and NOT the buyer's right.
If the seller offers a choice, the buyer can choose. If the seller does not offer a choice, the buyer is free to ASK, but must live with the agreement they made.

The concept that "if the price is stated in the auction, it isn't really a ripoff" is much too generous. When an excessive shipping charge is listed in the auction it may still be considered a ripoff, but only to catch the unwary bidders who fail to read closely. Ripoff offers carefully worded to catch only the unwary (honest ripoffs? ) are still ripoffs.

This was interesting reading. I sell and buy jewelry and like others, if s/h is higher than I think it should be I just don't bid. No big deal. I do think it is good this subject comes up periodically, however, so that maybe sellers will stop and think about thier s/h charges. I have passed on some really nice items becasue I won't pay the listed s/h charges of some sellers.
