jaypee, the simple solution to the China Syndrome is to ASK the seller the shipping cost BEFORE you bid.

If you don't like the answer, or don't get an answer, don't bid.
There is no reason to penalize ALL sellers because some people don't understand how things work here.
The China syndrome problem could be avoided very simply by allowing a buyer to back out after the sale (and block feedback on both sides) if the seller does not state the shipping cost, does not state enough information for the buyer to calculate it himself (item weight, size, and where it's coming from and by what method), or if the seller charges more than was stated or finds there was an error.
That would have solved the whole shipping issue without screwing either buyer or seller.
As usual, eBay does not think things through. But they never do.
BOYCOTT VICTORIOUSLY . . . May 1 and beyond.....
