So if the price had increased after you bought the items, you would have offered to pay the seller the difference?
And what would have been the advantage of having them dispatched separately?
So my view is - you have a problem.
from my exsperance most companys that sell on amazon have to rank up there prices just to cover amazon murchent costs, better to shop from the website directly
P.S this website use is great for PC Tablets and MP3 players (ect) -crazzygadgets.miiduu.com/
As far as I can see, the seller said (effectively) "I will charge you £7 for delivery of each item." whether the goods were delivered in one package in one delivery (reducing carbon footprint, YAY) or in two is immaterial. If they didn't offer a postage discount, then so be it, you knew this at the point of purchase. The seller was just being efficient.
As someone who has sold a lot on ebay, when you take into account packaging costs, postage costs, transport to and from the post office, and the costs eaten up by lying toe-rags who claim things never arrived, you're not left with much, if anything, out of an initially expensive P+P cost. The seller may have mad ea couple of quid, I personally wouldn't begrudge him it.
