If you clearly display your P/H charges I reckon it is up to the buyer to decide how much in total he/she is willing to pay for an item. You don't stay long around if you are trying to rip your customers off. I for myself prefer a good and fast service, even if I have to pay a couple of bucks more - but I do my calculations first. ;-) Best regards from DOWN-UNDER, Norbert & Heike Kammel ROCKS ON FIRE IMCA #3420 www.rocksonfire.com <%3Fhttp://www.rocksonfire.com%3F> Michael Farmer wrote: > I am in shock.
