I've asked sellers that use priority mail if they would drop the cost and use ground, also some sellers take the farthest state from them and that's there shipping. I've also asked them to re-calculate if I'm close to them. A lot of times I ask after I won the item, and I tell you, they do it. So ask, and you will receive.

Excessive Shipping/Handling


>From http://ebay.com/<blah>

The seller is responsible for determining the shipping and handling charges on listings, and eBay encourages sellers to clearly describe the item and terms of shipping and delivery in their listings to avoid possible confusion. Before bidding on an auction or buying in a fixed-price listing, bidders/buyers should contact the seller about any questions they might still have that are not directly answered in the item's description.

Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fee to the final price of their item, providing that this fee is disclosed up front in the listing. A SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEE CAN COVER THE SELLER'S REASONABLE COSTS FOR MAILING, PACKAGING AND HANDLING THE ITEM. Shipping and handling fees cannot be listed as a percentage of the final sale price. ***

When a bid is placed, the bidder is entering into an agreement with the seller to purchase the item, WHICH MOST OFTEN MEANS INCURRING SHIPPING CHARGES THAT MAY ALSO INCLUDE HANDLING FEES.

In the case of disagreements between buyers and sellers regarding shipping charges, eBay encourages the parties to try to work the matter out. Usually these situations can be amicably resolved.
