Ashes Mini bat individual packs - WTF

[tak35bne]

check this out, this guy is selling individual packs for $19.95 and I have confirmed that with him, this was the response:

Hello and thank you for your interest in one of our items. Yes this is for 1 pack only. We have had 1 message response to this item that the price is very expensive. We did not purchase these from any newsagency, we would send these via small parcel which starts from $5.50, then there are ebay fees plus handling. Our items don't package them themselves and packaging materials are not free. We also note that if customers feel that our items are expensive they have no obligation to purchase. Feel free to message us if we can assist you further. Thank you and have an awesum day :-D

Just got a message back from the seller who tells me they have not factored any postage into the cost and since I have reported the item for excessive costs etc they have blocked me from any of their auctions, who cares, would not buy off them in a pink fit. Oh and their advice to me is that they can charge whatever they want for postage and handling.

And postage doesn't cost 16 dollars to send 1 pack of cards.

Most eBay sellers will charge an extra buck or two even three for postage and that's reasonable. But $19.95 for one pack of cards and postage for it is just plain ridiculous, as is his asinine response when questioned about.

awesum !!!! Seriously - who writes like that ?
I love how some sellers try and justify every single little cost for including it in Shipping & Handling eg "Wear and tear on my shoes for walking from my car to the post office, waiting in line and then walking back to my car"
