Should I NEG this seller?

Last week I bought an assortment of cheap loupes on Dec 3, that was last Friday, to keep in my desk and in my tool box (they're also good for examining small parts from engines such as sparkplugs, ignition points and # on carb jets). I bought a single lot of 3 with FREE SHIPPING Text and another different style single lot of 3 with $1 shipping. Text
Both transactions were with the same seller.
They arrived yesterday, Tuesday Dec 7, after 4 agonizingly long days, all in the same mailer with Delivery Confirmation and wrapped safe & secure in bubble wrap and there was a 17c stamp on it!! Hell, I didn't even know they made a 17c stamp (see pict) but that's beside the point. The seller charged me $1 but postage only cost him 17c. The seller is obviously making an excessive profit from his shipping and at my expense.
After all, he could have put the $1 shipping items in the FREE SHIPPING envelope and not cost me anything. I didn't mind paying $1 for shipping the advertised $1 shipping ones but the way he combined shipping I actually paid to have the FREE SHIPPING ones shipped to me.
Should I NEG him for both deals and file a dispute to recover the extra 83c or pull out all the stops and demand my whole dollar back?

Great post, Dog

I'm sure there is some kind of mailing agreement that must be followed.
Oh, that's another thing, if you read the auctions the FREE SHIPPING one clearly says delivery "Estimated within 6-10 business days" and the $1 shipping one says "Need it by December 24? Buy and pay today Estimated between Mon. Dec. 13 and Fri. Dec. 17." THEY ARRIVED ON DEC 7! Being that the seller didn't meet his obligations and terms of shipping time on neither auction should I ding his DSR as well?

Again, this sounds like another post office foul up.
Contact the Postmaster General and ask him if he is not indeed charged with "getting things done."
As for it taking forever to get to you it is the busiest mailing season of the year except for April 15th.
But what frustrates me even more is that people who don't do much shipping, don't know how it works, are the judges and jury for those of us who ship.
17c is the extra ounce rate. So he printed out the postage, packed it up, found out it was an ounce heavier than he thought it was, and added .17 cents to cover that ounce. You don't know how much he paid electronically.
Here's the kicker. When a package is over 1/4" think, it goes at a package rate rather than a letter rate it will definitely be over $1. IIRC, 2 oz is about $1.25.
So he's losing money and you want to neg him for ripping your off? I try to know what I'm talking about before negging anyone, and I certainly wouldn't neg someone over a few cents of shipping.
I send $2k to $5k coins by express mail. I print out the postage and then buy the insurance at the post office. The postage is $18.30. Insurance on $2k is $8.45. So the post office puts a metered sticker for $8.45 on the package. I charge $23 for shipping so I lose about $4. I assume if you got this package you'd neg or low star me for charging $23 and only paying $8.45? Maybe that's what happens when my stars take a hit.

I agree! Being that this is the Post Office's seasonal busy time my package should have at least been on time or a little late, instead of arriving 5 days earlier than the seller promised. Thanks for the advice!
EDIT, Sorry, just realized this was a joke , lol, ya got me !!!!

next time if the post office charges you for postage due - then ding them
<< <i>You guys who calculate and agonize over what you paid frustrate me. First, it is shipping and handling. So you're going to worry over .83 handling?

Jerry you sound like a nice guy but you're an eBay seller and obviously not getting the point here. Put yourself in my shoes for a moment as the buyer. Wouldn't you find it disturbing if a seller undercharged you for postage then turned around and got your properly packed package to you in only 2 biz days? You can check his
FEEDBACK for yourself, he seems to have a pattern of doing this.

Yeah, looks like he met quite a few psycho bidders in his 32,000 deals as a seller. Did you see the scathing feedback I left for him? hahahhahaa
and when I logged on here I have a PM saying that the package arrived today ! Shoddy...

<< <i>And another thing Dog, the inexperienced ebay buyer. I hope the fine folks of the forum have taught you a lesson on shipping.
I didn't say he was in inexperienced buyer, just an inexperienced shipper. And he may do some shipping. But he obviously doesn't know the in's and out's of bulk shipping with electronic postage. Not meant to reflect badly on him.
<< <i>I recommend that you find some pride and think hard next time before posting a thread soliciting feedback over an 83 cent shipping difference. Neg him. Don't neg him. Flip a coin next time. >>
If you read the rest of the thread it's a joke...
That's a good idea, don't know why I didn't thinka that. Thanks Mark!

I'll buy me smoe Pride from eBay if it comes with FREE SHIPPING but I aint paying no .83cc to mail it. Do you have any for sale? Thanks for the slam, Slammer!

Indeed they have stman! See if I ever come on here again *complaining* about a seller charging me $1 for fast service. I haven't had this kind of beatdown since I mailed you that Morgan with the Saf-T-Mailer pressed together so tightly that you couldn't reuse it.
