    I wrote them, and they changed it...That's a win

    Can't imagine what someone would go through that does not know any better thinks they are getting a deal on shipping, they pay and then find out that they never were going to ship it, wait on paypal for a refund, possible dispute etc... etc..because a lot of them don't even mention pick up only, even though when you write them they explain it is..Its not only these machines, i've seen it on other heavy stuff as well...Maybe ebay needs to make that part more clear for sellers how to list pickup only..

    I have sold quite a number of machines on eBay.

    The thing to do is to enter the box size and the weight; select the appropriate, available, shipping services and let eBay figure out the rates...

    Unfortunately, it's expensive. Even "giving away" the box / shipping materials and the labor to pack (1/3 hour).

    Thanks for your input, But simply talking about people posting a random shipping rate and never having the intention on shipping it no matter the reason.
