I recently won an Ebay auction for some misc parts. I checked the calulator for shipping and it said $22.00 to my home zip and $11.00 to my work zip. Now these are 3.5 miles apart. So anyways, I figured the $11.00 was fair and bid. Well I won the parts for $5.00 and went to Paypal the guy. I received the auto link from Paypal/ebay and proceeded to pay. Well it now recalculated the shipping to $35.00!!!!!!!!
I am awaiting response from the seller, but I will surely tell him to take a flying F&^%^% if he thinks that is what he is getting for 12lbs of parts.
I went to the UPS website and entered 16lbs to allow for packaging. Put in his zip, my zip(home), UPS on call pick up, residental address, etc, and the total was only $15.??. Now that was enetering the most expensive way you could ship via UPS besides 3day, 2nd day, or overnight.
So whats the deal, is the calculator screwed or is this guy trying to compensate for the low auction close?
