Well, not scammed exactly, cause I haven't payed any $$$ yet, but I'm hoping this won't affect my feedback rating.
So, I bought an item, and it the listing said the shipping was $15. Hefty, but I always look at the total price, and I don't care if they want to pretend like the price is lower on the item by offloading some into the shipping, whatever. The total price was still pretty good, so I bought the item.
Go to checkout, and it says the shipping is $50. OK, so I go back to the listing, and there's a "shipping calculator" in all the fine print at the bottom, so I put my zip code in, and sure enough, it comes up $50. Is that totally bogus or what?!
So, I sent them a message that says if the shipping is more than $15, I'm out of the deal. If they give me a hard time, I'm going to yell so loud to ebay, you'll all be able to hear it.
