Shipping Charges

[VSMITHW@aol.com]

I want to thank you all for your help with this.  After reading your advice 
and re-looking at the original listing for this piece, it seems as if the 
seller indicated that he was charging only actual shipping charges.  I did 
write back to his initial message asking if there might have been a "typo" 
since I'd originally paid much less for other shipments of this same vase.  I 
haven't yet heard anything from him...but now have an idea of what to do when 
I do hear anything.

I'm feeling somewhat protective of my "feedback" on eBay because I try so 
hard to be a responsible and prompt buyer/payor.  I certainly haven't sold 
anything yet...I'm sympathizing with earlier messages about having a hard 
time letting go of any of this!  

I guess I need to either decide to pay (because I want the vase and don't 
want to incur negative feedback) and then to send a clear message in feedback 
to the seller...or to back off from the sale all together.

But I truly appreciate everyone's input - and thank you all so much!

Vicki
