I asked seller if bandages could be shipped cheaper than 6.90 so rude seller decided to list item higher and sent rude messages. I sent rude message back and stated that’s why they still have item ... maybe try being nicer to the buyer and you might sell something ...

I ignore thee.

Seller should have simply replied: "No thank you."
But buyers should also understand that:
EBay fees go up
Paypal fees go up
Shipping supply costs go up!
Postal costs go up!
All while prices are going down.

I don't disagree with any of that. Buyers are not interested in any of that, and they
aren't interested in hearing about it.
They do not care.

You need nicer buyers, LoL
Our buyers are usually pretty awesome people. They understand if we make a mistake. They work with us on multiple sales. They send private notes thanking us. They don't usually blame us when someone else messes up.
We'll keep them.

So you didn't like the shipping the seller set for the bandages he was selling and ask him if he could ship for less. Obviously, he was unwilling to do so and you claim his reply was rude so you a sarcastic remark in reply to him. Okay! Thank you for bringing the matter to our attention.

Upon reviewing your bid retraction record, I'm curious as to whether you had already placed a bid on the bandages before asking the question?

If you're not happy with shipping costs, you only have to hit the back button and find a listing with shipping costs you are happy with..
There really is no need for rude messages to be exchanged..

Here's a crazy question... Was the seller out of line with their shipping charges? Or did you just want them cheaper?

it takes a lot if guts to ask someone about shipping.I know I would never do it.If you asked me I would just not reply,simple as that.I tend to ignore questions that are stupid,like what color is the blue dial or how long is the 8 inch strap.Your question is not stupid but I really do wonder about the motivation
as far as the USPS rate increase,it bothers some people but not me,I only use 1st class so in essence you are free to call the rate increase whatever you want
some people think the price of gas is high,I paid 2.57 this morning at Costco .I tend to think they are giving it away.I mean small cars are not selling for GM.The guy in California biking it may want it to be cheaper but the cost of gas is nothing these days

1. The last USPS increase was on or about January 23, 2019 (almost 11 months old). Increases were not close to triple from the previous year. The biggest increase was that the dimensional rate (over 1 cubic ft.) was applied to all shipping zones vs previously only to two zones and the rates for FCP became zone based vs flat rate based but the change wasn't a tripling of any costs.
2. The next increase is set for ~mid January 2020. Expected rate increases have been pre announced - none close to triple over the 2019 rate. USPS claims the increase will be an average increase of about 1.9%.
3. BTW UPS & FedEx have both announced a 5.9% increase- slated for late Dec. 2019.
The dimensional weight for PM and PS went into effect in June of this year, not January.

There is never a nickel that's too small to split on ebay. I don't know which is more entertaining ... The many ways people can re-define "cheap", or the different ways people justify it .

That's because crazy people don't think they're crazy, boring people don't think they're boring, and cheap people don't think they're cheap- 😆
