They have frightened me off a couple of times. Cheap goods, expensive P&P.Tonya's Ass Whap Shop (a division of Titan's Games) got me....I didn't read the fine print, they will combine shipping at HALF regular shipping ($4.65) per extra item, which BTW is MEDIA mail and not priority mail. So, conceivably, if you won say 11 auctions from Tonya's Ass Whap for 11 D&D modules, you would pay $4.65 + $2.63 x10 for a whopping $30.95 shipping for 3 lbs of items sent media mail (or, approximately $25 profit!!!!). Avoid this bitch, let someone else put her through college. Hopefully I will lose all my auctions through here, I did only put min bids so that's highly possible. I'd neg the hell out of her if I won except I have no one to blame but myself.....always should read the fine print.Mike B.

I have bought from tony/ass/wap/shop before, and never had any huge problems with her myself, BUT her shipping costs as almost as bad as maxwell's, she always way overgrades her items, and she WILL leave retaliatory feedback, even if the problem was clearly her fault.

I figured that is over $4 profit just on shipping alone for media mail, for priority mail its about $5. Man, am I doing something wrong, up until now I would fit as many items as I could in a priority envelope for $4.50, or send media mail one item for a flat $3 rate. What a sap I am. Stupid Badmike!!!!!! :oops: Mike B.

In most of my auctions, I list in my auctions a flat $4.50 fee for Priority shipping and an additional $1.25 for each extra item. In the end though, I almost never end up charging my buyers that amount. I list my shipping costs in my auctions higher than I actually end up invoicing after the auction because: A) I do want to be able to cover the actual cost it is going to end up being without hassle, and B) The buyer is almost always pleasently surprised by the final shipping cost that I quote them, because they are expecting it to be a much higher cost. I can tell you that it is a hell of a lot easier to list a total shipping cost of more than what it will be and then if necessary to reduce it or refund the extra money paid, than it is to post the shipping cost you want and have it be to low and then either have to ask for more from the buyer later or even worse eat the extra costs.
