The Grays!

I found my first gray hair at 21, on Thanksgiving, with my asshole aunt around to tell me that 'That's when it starts happening in this family.' So, it could be worse.
One of my roommates in college got her first gray hair at about 20. She was half Japanese, so despite pressure from other people to just pull it out, she would freak out about it out of fear of ten more growing back in its place.

Since then, I don't worry about gray hairs....

--------------------------

Actually have something frown-y to add (it's sorta long):


I guess I'll preface by saying that I don't think I've ever given negative feedback on Ebay before, but I got burned on shipping. Again. (By the same seller.)

The back-story:

The first time I ordered from this seller (who sells PS2 games and is based in Japan) he had a shipping policy similar to most other Japanese sellers' policies, with one caveat: Some games add $2 to the shipping cost while others (for all intents and purposes, arbitrarily) add $6 at the time they are added to the order. Worked that little number out after I ordered; Okay, so I didn't read thoroughly enough, and assumed something I shouldn't have. I guess I can take my lumps there.
A short time after receiving that order, and seeing that some of the games were in far better shape than I had anticipated, I decided to check on the seller's items again, and found a few more great deals. Keeping in mind that special brand of shipping calculation the seller used, I checked on each item to plan out my ordering, when I saw that the combined shipping policy had changed to what I assumed to be more familiar territory: "We will combine shipping. The discount is 2 dollars."

Again I assumed too much, and found out the hard way when I saw that shipping on four items (totaling $18) would be $26. So before losing my shit, I thought that maybe I would wait to see if he was actually going to be shipping it EMS instead, or something.

Two weeks later, I'm greeted with a package with 780 yen in postage on it! ($9.20 at the conversion rate on the date it was sent.) At this point I'm upset. So before flying off the handle, I tried the responsible thing and contacted the seller. I made my case, asked for a refund in the vicinity of the difference between the shipping charge I payed and the actual shipping price ($15). I got a prompt reply to the extent of, 'I employ people, so you can sit and spin,' and, "When I can reduce an expense, I will return money to my customer." This stuff. This is the kind of stuff that made me want out of Japan so badly.

It's partly my fault, I get that, but:


tl;dr - Are hidden charges in shipping costs worthy of negative feedback on ebay?


Also of note, the seller has a flat-rate policy (essentially, all games priced the same) and those prices have now gone up roughly 45% (with a little more laddering) from when I placed my orders, while still employing the same combined shipping policy.

I have grey hair. And white hair. And I'm balding. I pretty much need to wear hats to look even halfway decent, and it sucks.

You'd probably look better if you trimmed that long beard of yours.

He can't do that. It's the source of his power, probably.
