Ok here is the scenario
I will be the first to admit that he does not list on his auctions that he combines his orders. That being said I won 4 auctions of his each one containing 1 ounce ingot of silver. So here I am with 4 ounces of silver and shipping charges totaling $23.80 cents. If you disregard shipping I got all four auctions at 3 dollars below spot. I emailed him and asked that since I won four of his auctions and since all we are talking about is 4 1 ounce ingots that the handling and shipping could not be that much different that one. He emailed me back offering to take 2 dollars off my shipping to make it 21.80 cents or he would pay for insurance of 2.00. As it all worked out I got 4 ounces of silver for 43 dollars and had it shipped for 21.80 cents. Needless to say I will not be buying from the seller again.
here is his email (name withheld for now)
Hi Cliff, normally on precious metals I do not.As you have purchased 4 I will take $2.00 off,or pay for insurance,as I will be sending them in one package.
I know its not much,but METALS are hard to deal with at times.
Thank you, XXXXXXXX

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

It's also a nice touch to pay for each separately if using paypal-4 times the fees.

And they either agreed to ship separately or gave in to a better shipping charge
It works!!!!
However, I love the 4 addresses. It's so much easier to smile and play the game with those who think they can outsmart everyone. Just like telling someone to go to hell in a way that puts a smile on their face as they go.
Cheers!
So there are ebayer sellers who will strike a deal with a buyer to keep a customer. They're not all jerks, but then again, they're not all savvy business people either, as you have witnessed.
