That's how they make the money selling the item for $5 and charging
ridiculous price for shipping....Avoids a ton of E-Bay fees if you sell
alot.

he actually committed mail fraud, which is a federal offense. Just
realize
that sooner or later, he'll get what's coming to him.

I agree with Bob. Life is too short to worry about small matters. Stress
like this is not good for you. You got the
item. You are happy with it. The poor guy tried to save a buck and got
caught. He paid the extra money and got it
shipped out again didn't he. You had a few days of wondering where it was
but it did show up. Could have been a
whole lot worse. Why worry now? Relax, have a cold one, get on with life.

Geeze louise! Did you get your item? Did you pay a good price? If the
guy wasn't trying to rip you off and just tried to save money on
shipping, why try to burn him with bad feed back with no chance to
respond. Suck it up, quit your bitching, and just move on. Life is too
short.
