Yeah and well when you click on the "BID" Icon, your bound anyways to the
term of the auction. If you don't like it, don't bid. Don't quibble at all,
gets no where. I always read the terms, I agree that it's expensive
sometimes... (come on! $10 to ship a leather case!!) but if you want it,
you'll have to agree on the shipping & handling terms, because you clicked
on the bid icon.

my .$.02 also..
