I sell stuff on ebay alot an I've screwed myself several times cause I quote a fixed price for shipping then it ends up much more... MY LOSS .. and the guy you bought from should eat it too!! Just my opinion...
Yep, he should eat it. I sold some Cordoba embems to a guy in New Zealand and figured the package woiuld weigh less than a pound (and priced accordingly). Wrong! 2 oz over and bumped it into the next price bracket. Couldn't loose the 2 oz no matter how I tried so I ate it.
