Depends on the seller. If you buy read the feed back of the person your buying
from you'll get a feel for there postage habits.
My wife sells alot on ebay and will refund excess postage if its been
miscalculated or a combined shipping situation. She has many more return
customers because of it. So it just depends on the seller. As the buyer, read
feedback and email the seller with questions before bidding, also read the ad,
just dont skim over it.
Best of luck. Greg
