Separate. I like to know how much the game is and how much I am paying for the shipping portion.

This way I can also figure out combined shipping costs.

Yes, this is the best in my mind. If I buy 5 SNES games from five separate people it might cost $2 per item for shipping, but if I buy all 5 from the same person the total shipping cost might only be $5, since shipping tends to be initial cost + cost/unit of weight. Or hell, even just stating something like "Mechwarrior 3050 - $5 + $2 shipping" on each listing and then having a note at the top indicating discounted shipping for bulk lots would work well.

I prefer knowing what I am paying for shipping. If I know both shipping cost, and method of shipping, then I know that I am not overpaying.

I look at both kinds of ads. It helps if your title says shipping is included though because then I don't have to scroll through to find it.

Yeah I thought about the poll thing but I wanted to here what people said too. I was afraid I would get mostly votes.

This has been very interesting. From what I can tell shipped prices is most preferred but a person needs to be clear that there are discounts on more than one item. Cool, this will help me and hopefully others in their threads. Thanks all.
