Interesting that people are bitching about the shipping
Plus he ships thru Hong Kong Post...not UPS..less fees there
Alot of people are charging more for shipping and less for the product cuz Ebay doesn't charge a fee for shipping costs..while they do charge fees based on grand total of the sale price. As well, u don't pay duties on shipping costs.
In realitity the guy is saving you money by charging you more on shipping and less for the item...just so ya know..
It is actually a suggested practice by alot of ebayers...saves everyone money on fees.
All I know is that I paid just over 50 bucks for 2 400 bulbs and they are working great...seems like a great deal to me.

The source of the "bitching" is not how great of a deal I can pay for 2 400W bulbs, it was how much shipping was being asked for 4 DE bulbs. Frankly, I could care less what fees are imposed on the sellers by EBAY but I want to know what I am paying for. I would rather pay more for the item and know that I am paying the real price for shipping. Considering the size and weight of DE bulbs, the shipping for three additional DE bulbs should realistically only cost $3-5 more. I find it unreasonable to believe that there is $14-15 in hidden EBAY fees in the cost of shipping.

On the flipside, if the seller doesn't like the fees s/he has to pay for selling on EBAY, then don't sell your items for super low prices on EBAY and try to recouperate your loss on the shipping.
If you are tired and grumpy, go to sleep.
