With lobby cards in particular, I often pick up multiple pieces
from each seller. I've learned through similar bad experiences to
ALWAYS ask about combined shipping before the auctions end, with any
seller I haven't dealt with before, unless the question is very
specifically addressed in their auctions. Never assume anything,
as there are too many jerks around who are convinced that gouging on
shipping is perfectly legitimate. And this includes those who
feel that they're being fair when they say something like,
"Shipping for the first card is $8, add ONLY $1 for each
additional card." Right. So if I get 20 lobby cards,
the shipping is $27. Still a rip off.

Subject: [MOPO] What to do?
I bought 11 TV scripts from an ebay seller today, named bravo_george
He listed the shipping charge as $7 for script, but he is now refusing to combine shipping and insisting that I pay him $91 for shipping them in one parcel.
and what makes this more infuriating---he is about three miles from me but is refusing to let me pick them up in person,
Do ebay rules about screwing people on shipping charges apply in this case? And, if they do, how do I ask that they be enforced?
No, I did not ask him in advance because I could not have conceived of something so idiotic.
