Well guys i just got screwed on ebay so I wanted to warn everyone so they dont make the same mistake. Ive been looking for a good tailgate for a while now and missed an opprtunity on ebay once before, so when i saw one going for fifty bucks i jumped on it and bid. Of course as soon as I did that I thaught sh#% I didnt look at the shipping cost...75 Bucks!
I guess this is how people make money on ebay now is mark the price low so people jump at it but jack the shipping cost up and realy profit from that. So dont make the same mistake always check the shipping befor you bid. I hope I help some of you guys out!

I've been there too! I emailed the guy and told him I thought the shipping was a bit high and he cut it down to actual shipping plus a few bucks for packing. It's worth a try. The good news is that it won't happen to you again...right?

Depends on the size of the item. I tried to ship a 2000 gmc plastic grille assembly and due to the size of the GM box it is $60 UPS, USPS and more with a freight shipper!
