Note, I changed my options to try to display the postage options for the United States, even though I actually generally use the .co.uk site and myself live in the UK, and then it displayed that message.
So, I'm suggesting that perhaps Ebay imposes a default shipping cost if the seller doesn't specify one, perhaps dependent on the category of the item... If not that (and Ebay has been given a shipping price for the item by the seller), then Ebay is not displaying the correct information on its international sites and if we get them to correct that, as a knock on effect, it might help with Gixen displaying the correct value too. |

Not what we see stateside, where it is unambiguously listed as $5 shipping, but shows up on the Gix as $0. Are you suggesting that sellers who give unspecified international shipping options may cause Gixen to display "$0" for S&H?
The reason this is an issue with me, is that I often decide my bid amount at the Gixen page. Having accurate ship info would be a boon. I've overpaid a few times because I thought the "$0 S&H" shown on Gix was real. Now I know better and click through to see what the real S&H is. |

Thanks. Odd, though, that SOME of the time the S&H is correct, and other times, not. I wonder what would explain the variability. |

I've noticed that Gix often says S&H is $0 (on the main snipe page, in the fine print) but checking the item often reveals a shipping price. Sometimes, Gix will show the correct S&H price...sometimes, not.
Ideas?
For example 195199536470 was listed as $0 shipping, when it was in fact $5. |
