To buy an item from someone who clearly states that "X" is going to be the shipping charge, then ding them because you think "X" is too high seems "shady" to me. My thought process seems to differ from some of you regarding this subject.

At first, I see he only has 15 sales, so he's probably new at this, and although I'm upset, I just chalk it up to him being a newb.Then I notice the price on the envelope that he paid to mail it to me (from Canada): 11.54Now I'm not Canadian, so I thought I'd post this here. Maybe there are some other hidden fees I don't know about, as to why he charged me 19.80, when he only paid 11.54 for it.Some advice please.
