I’m noticing a curious trend among people who make purchase offers. This is already the third case (for different items) where the buyer uses the form to make an acceptable offer but puts the wording "shipping included" in the comments.If you’re not paying attention and accept it, then if you don’t want to give them free shipping, you have to cancel the transaction or wait for payment of the expected price, so + s.sp (while the buyer refuses to pay until they are sent a modified invoice)I consider them sneaky (and I block them immediately even if they have thousands of positive feedback) because instead of making a clear request/offer they try to take advantage of the seller’s inattention.p.s. I’m aware that under eBay’s rules anyone who makes an offer is bound by it and it’s explicitly stated that shipping costs must be added ... but if they force you to cancel a transaction they make you waste time and maybe "points" in your eBay reputation
