Note the Shipping Charge When Bidding On Online Auctions

Buyer Protection For Online Auction Purchases
PayPal and other programs provide buyer protection for online auctions. This can help resolve disputes if a product isn't delivered as promised. The problem with this protection is that it doesn't necessarily cover the full price of your bid.
