You fail to see why because you havent read all the comments , there was only minutes left in the auction and it has taken him 3 days to return said email asking for combined shipping what is exactly you would like the buyers to do in said circumstances.

And WHY should anyone have to ask anything like that in the first place there 4 little shillings I just had 10 TWO shilling coins shipped for FREE there twice the size. And 16  50cent pieces shipped for $2.50 yet some how you think its OK to charge 4 consecutive $4  postage payments for tiny shillings he is going to combine anyway. He is already charging more than double what it cost to send them, The cost to send all 4 is under $1 now you work it out. now I realise there is his service fee to drop a letter into a post box but really come on think about it its extorsion at best.

Dont matter anyway sorted I won and he still gets 4 R dots.
