[WWI] ot: Ebay shipping costs

[Scottrik]

Yes, it is the same. If the kit WAS, in fact, damaged you have 100% right to
make negative feedback. Otherwise, unless a shipping method was specified or
otherwise agreed to the seller has met his obligation. You don't like the
methodology, I don't like the methodology, but the FACT is the obligation
was met. You've got your product at the price you agreed to pay. End of
story. If shipping method is important to you and is not specified in the
auction, ASK. I do all the time, because I have received kits in envelopes
too and agree it is not an apropriate means of shipping fragile merchandise
across town much less around the globe.

No, it is not the same. I was willing, and did pay £12, which was the cost.
I was not interested in helping this a**hole cheating ebay, and then risk my
kit by finding the cheapest solution for him to send it.
