Can someone explain to me shipping on Ebay?

Here's the problem..

A Seller says the following:

"3.00 per auction and 1.00 for additional auctions"

Now, The way I READ this is this way.

The first auction I win cost me 3 bucks and if i win another auction, its an additional 1.00

HOWEVER

If it is one auction and i can buy multiple cards, they treat it the same way.

I see it as ONE AUCTION that you offer more cards on.

I hate not having standard nomenclature.

ALSO, try this one. "We don't combine shipping"

To me that means if I win 2 auctions from the same seller I pay the same shipping for each.

NOT, i buy 2 cards IN THE SAME AUCTION and get charged double the shipping

I'm not a rookie at Ebay, but, this stuff REALLY ticks me off

    Hi,

    If your seller quotes "3.00 per auction and 1.00 for additional auctions" then they must adhere to that, they cannot change & ask for more funds after the auction. Its possible if item #1 is a small item that the 2nd item requires an additional box to ship. Also keep in mind that 2 items in 1 package has 1 delivery confirmation number & if a problem arose they cant proove both items were delivered. As both a seller & buyer i understand your point, however ebay has drastically changed with some many new changes "for the better" well according to ebay. Years ago it was great, now it has serious issues.

    All you have to do is weigh the item and use their shipping wizard. If you have the correct weight, it will tell you how much it is to ship it different ways and to different states.

    To be sure I would contact the seller.
