Counter Offer from seller not honored?

Question

Why does Ebay allow sellers to make counteroffers back to potential buyers and when the buyer accepts the counteroffer "woops" shipping is not included. The counteroffer clearly states FREE SHIPPING and I agreed to the increase in my bid. Bad way to do business. How is the best way to let other people know to be careful of this seller? I do not plan to surrender to this kind of tactics.

If the listing has a shipping cost then that is not negotiable. It even says that when you make the offer.

If you are making offers and demanding free shipping then you are the problem.
