[WWI] ot: Ebay shipping costs

[Ray Boorman]

I have to really disagree here. They charged for premium packaging and
sent it with el-cheapo packing. You dont know that until you receive
the package. That is gouging and every bit as bad as sending say a
damaged model. Therefore negative feedback is required. The packaging
price is not the issue here its what you get for it.
