Yeah, I don't care about the shipping and handling charge. If I think it is too high, I just don't bid. Or my high bid will be less. I consider it part of the price of the item. I only bid on items that have a shipping price. No shipping price, no bid.

I have email sellers asking them what the shipping would be. Some have never responed, others said they don't know and won't know until the auction is over. How can I bid on an item then? I won't know what the final cost will be. I don't bid on these items also.

I also expect the seller to charge only the cost of shipping and handling. What I mean, is if the shipping is $1.00 and material is $1.00 then the cost of shipping should be close to this amount, since there are other costs, time, gas, etc. I don't expect the final cost of shipping to be $2.00, but I don't think it should be $50 in this example. Some do try to make money on the shipping. If I think this is the case, I don't bid. I see it as being dishonest.
