It's common to not quote shipping until destination and shipping method is known. It's uncommon and suspicious if someone tries to separate the charges... sounds dishonest and manipulative. Best to walk away from anyone who tries to avoid 1 completed charge to close the deal.
Potential seller's strange policy
Is it normal when a potential seller requires that I make a PayPal payment for the item, then, when he receives the payment, he will pack the item, calculate the shipping cost and issue another invoice for shipment?
In such a case, I would have to pay a PayPal fee twice, and I am not sure what form of shipment he may choose, though I informed him of my preferred form of shipment.
I feel uncertain - usually, the shipping cost and the form of shipment are agreed upon in advance and paid once.
Any comments?
