I would do the same thing (I just wrote this on another thread today).
I would say that the seller should have put that in the same post describing the fabric, rather than wasting time - both hers and yours - so you would have known upfront without having to "decline" it.
The Seller wasn't making any money off the postage, and if you were paying via PayPal, was actually losing some of the cost in the transaction.
If you only bought 1.25 yards from eQuilter.com, how much do you think they would charge you in shipping fees? (And I'll bet the fabric would be more expensive than what you paid here).
i have bought lots here and no one has charged me that for a yard or two. i knew she was not making money on the postage. Just wondering what others thought. I would buy a whole box of envelopes and charge a fair price when selling. If I had bought 3-5 yards, which will fit in that envelope I would not have thought it too much. And i never buy just 1.25 yards from eQuilter for that very reason. They charge for their time plus postage.
