Frogella, I just paid for 17 yards of fabric from a seller on ebay- less than 11 bucks for shipping !!!

I contacted her, but we will see what happens. I told her what I thought in nice terms, hopefully she will see my side.
Thanks for all of the comments. I usually send things, and I haven't paid shipping to get something in a long time, so it is nice to know it isn't all me!

Tell her if she is not reasonable, she has a lot more to loose in the long run than you do.

I agree with Kaye Kaye~!

eeekkkk..is all I have to say!

Report her. That's not what they're supposed to do so give her a bad review. I had (operative word: HAD) a friend that used to sell on ebay and he said that the shipping charges were where he made most of his money.

Not to justifly the cost( I also think it is excesive)
but not all fabric is the same
in the last week I have shipped flannel,kona cotton, and batiks
In a large flat rate box I can get over 30 yds of batiks, only 20 if kona and only 10 of the flannel
I don't make money on the shipping and yes it is expensive!
and also the ebay listing with Free shipping usually have the high shipping charges built into the cost of the item
this is how they are getting around the ebay rules!

I agree with the others. That is excessive. Your probably right, she sold the fabric cheaper and made up in shipping. Quite a few on ebay do that, and ebay discourages it, and they welcome complaints and will give these folks notices. I would check the actual cost to mail, then contact the buyer and give her a chance to make good, if she does not, I would give a negative feedback and report to ebay

Let us know what she says. I think I would go to the seller before you start giving negative feedback. $21 seems excessive- can she prove the charges somehow? IF she doesn't resolve it, then I would go from there.

Good luck, so sorry you got 'had!' :(

I agree about posting that comment on her feedback. Maybe with a negative post, she'll reimburse you.
