Lou; Lou, I do not care if they are mentioned in the ad, and no, I do not agree, they should not be part of the total price. I admit I screwed up on that one sale, but what I object to is sellers on Ebay overcharging for shipping. They are entitled to the winning auction price and reasonable shipping charges, but not excess profits by overcharging on shipping. But I see too many sellers making excess proceeds which their not entitled to. I noticed one seller tonight shipping world wide for $18.00 for a small item most likely weighing under a half pound. I could ship to the Moon for $18.00. Just my thoughts.
