I won a 1973 topps johnny bench psa 6 for .99, which rocks, but the s/h i am paying is $10.99, which violates so many of my own basic principles, that i cannot elaborate.
here is link: 10.99 s/h (huh)?
can i cancel my bid retroactively speaking?

Send me your eBay account info and I'll do it for you... after that, ignore any messages you might receive for alleged purchases.

<< <i>...any recourse?

LOL, I was going to say the same thing.
also nothing wrong with cussing him a few times..
<< <i>I would go the pay then neg route. Unless he's driving the card to you himself! >>
i wouldnt neg him.. just hit his stars..
I would pay,inform Ebay of the excessive fees, and leave appropriate feedback when it arrived.
i will not neg, but point out his crappy s/h terms.

RIP GURU
Neutral Maybe...
I would send him an email (without the cussing pry) but still chewing him out for his shipping charges
Who know's, he might refund most of your shipping
But even if he doesn't i would leave Pos. saying that the shipping price was terrible
and then give him 1 star for shipping price
Just how i would do it...
BUT, I would not NEG him if I willingly bid on his listing.
Dinging his S+H star - and reporting his BAD practices to EBAY - is really the only "recourse."
If this was a 71 topps bench psa 10 that everyone else in the world missed and you won it for .99 with $10.99 shipping charges would you leave him a neg? or report him or give him 1 star?
You must take some responsibility when you bid.... Just my opinion.
I'd ask him, in a nice way!
"if he could make the shipping lower, as the $10.99 is unreasonable."
If he says no, I'd pay him.
But I would not neg him,
because he disclosed his shipping costs.
I think most of "us cardboard junkies" have made the same mistake and overlooked sellers' high shipping costs.
I know I did more than once!
Another idea,
bust his balls,
and ask him to send the card via registered mail!

be paying the same amount anyway, With that said I'm sure many folks did not bid on that card for this very reason.
If it was me I'd email him and ask if the shipping is accurate, if so, I'd pay it but then I'd hit him on the DSR.

That being said the more I read these forums I realized that there are a lot off CHOWDER HEADS out there. 9 out of 10 of the biggest whiners about S&H costs are buyers only not buyers/sellers. Shipping one graded card if packaged securely w/ delivery confirmation (graded card, between two pieces of cardboard, taped put into bubble wrap or small bubble envelope stuck in larger bubble envelope weighs 6 ounces (1st class parcel cost $2.02 add to that 65 cents for delivery confirmation (so you can satisfy the "GR"e"ED" bay and PAY "I'm not your" PAL delivery assurance policy) and you have $2.67 just in postage charges. Add to that the cost of a bubble envelope mailer and your close to $3.50. Don't even try to add anything in for your listing fees, final value fees and paypal fees. YEAH YEAH YEAH cost of doing business. Give me a break. Then take your package to the post office in your no cost auto, wait in line wasting "your worthless non-precious time.
You bid on the auction own up to your actions take responsibility. Maybe congress can bail you out.
This is one of the reasons why there are fewer and fewer listing on "GR"e"ED"bay, and fewer decent sellers.
My suggestion is for all the whiners to start listing items on eBay and see how fast they change there minds.
As far as the DSR I have sold items with "free shipping" and have been left 1's, so "GR"e"ED"bay brain storms isn't worth the electronic media they spam it on.

I am ONLY a seller. I wouldn't buy anything on that venue from a stranger unless my
life depended on it.
MY objection to the S+H gouging is that it VIOLATES the rules that I am FORCED to
abide by. It also chases potential future buyers away from me.
Sellers who cannot INCLUDE their expenses in the price of their items - and have
reasonable S+H - need to move on. If they had all left long ago, the honest sellers
that remain would not now have to be putting up with the ridiculous changes that
EBAY instituted in 2008.
<< <i>1st off I do agree that $10.99 is excessive for S&H (actually parcel post might be more expensive than 1st class parcel and a lot, lot longer in transit time)!!!

Of course you could always keep the cards stacked in your closet and wait for someone to come knocking and looking for just the ones you have. that's always an alternative to ebay and screwing bidders on shipping.
abide by. It also chases potential future buyers away from me.
Bingo.

<< <i>Send him 99 cents and tell him to keep the card >>
+1 for this idea
If I bid/won and then saw it....it's my fault. I am accountable for my actions. I wouldn't use the "he's breaking the rules" to cover my error. Same thing if I didn't read the title..."Sorry, I bought the wrong card I don't want it". I've had someone say that to me. I was like how does that happen?
I would "whine" to the seller and if it is not lowered I would pay his fee and leave + fb but 1 star for shipping.
<< <i>If it was me I'd email him and ask if the shipping is accurate, if so, I'd pay it but then I'd hit him on the DSR.

Ditto. This way he knows that you already have problems with his S&H charge and may lower the cost out of the goodness of his heart (or fear of a low rating). OR he may have copied this from a template and forgot to adjust the S&H for this auction.
I agree with you whole

It's a pretty common happening.
I have not used auctions on EBAY for MANY months.
If I want to give stuff away, I don't need to pay EBAY
for the help.
I list BINs only, offer "FREE" shipping, and include ALL
of my costs in the retail price. I often lower my prices
as time passes on a listing.

I respect your opinion, but your way of thinking is in violation of eBay's policies and it does affect the sellers that abide by the policy. If you want to cover your driving time and car insurance, get an off eBay website and get the traffic to make it work. Also, it's super easy to pay for all of your shipping and have everything ready to be picked up at your residence or business. Plus you should be able to deliver any pre-paid card items (small orders) into the USPS drop off boxes without waiting in line. I'm sure you know this, but I just wanted to point it out.

theskypilot
of bubble mailers, time spent on line at the PO and the gas it cost you to drive there did I leave out anything?
You failed to mention depreciation and insurance costs of the vehicle.
My next question is who's alt are you?
Steve
point well made
no malice intended nor no malice taken
people have to realize there is more to shipping cost than just a stamp and people have to start owning up to the decisions they make.
Merry Christmas to all
theskypilot
Almost everyone here sided with the seller in this case so I'm not sure who you are referring too.
Julen (the OP) mentioned he did not see the shipping cost when bidding.
No malice intended either.
