why don't u buy cheapest card from his store and tell him to send the address in US that can send u back?? Then it's gonna be free and they can't do anything to u as well..
Since you have been to states and stuff, you must have an address that can send u back.. hope that helps.
don't let them screw u...
Lately, my player collections don't grow much because of the shipping fees...
The sick thing about that is the seller is probably asking him Global Priority + Insurance + Handling + Car Gas + His time to go to post office for $15
Even big GPS package with graded card didn't cost me $7.5.... sometimes sellers are just so unreasonable and crazy...
Often happens when a card goes for less than then seller wants - they say - 'overseas shipping more' then put a massive boost on when it goes for $1.75.....
I agree it's best to ask for an exact price before bidding - if only to ensure a lack of confusion or annoyance - but how is it reasonable for sellers to charge ludicrous shipping prices simply because they can? It isn't. At all. Ever.
A postage fee doesn't exist so sellers can make up the difference in low-priced auctions -- it exists to cover the costs involved in getting a product from A to B. It isn't a tax. It's not a surcharge. It's not designed to cover the bagel you ate in line at the post office. It's for the package and the stamp.
