eBay sellers
fredster:
I had something like that happen too. I bought a board for cheap and then the seller wanted $25 for shipping.
I guess he was upset that he didn't get a really good price and held that out as a way to recoup his loss.
I don't bid on items without some type of shipping cost and description. I ship everything via the post office and I've never had any problems. (save one, to overseas).
If they don't take the time to answer questions, then I wouldn't bid on it either. They are more likely NOT to give you good service if they can't take a minute to answer questions.
But, I can recall selling only one item to someone that asked a question myself.

If they don't list (reasonable) S/H fees in the description, I just skip the auction. They are allowed to add some handling amount in but nothing too outlandish. I've seen sellers trying to add $15 to ship an Imperial trackball.
paigeoliver:
I'll bid anyway, and if they try anything outlandish I will tell them exactly where they can stick their high shipping price.
I generally ask questions first though. One seller lost hundreds on the sale of a car because he didn't answer my question. I was quite ready to buy, and at several hundred more than the closing bid.
missioncontrol:
If they don't have a shipping price listed I don't bid....
another thing that gets on my nerves with some sellers is that after you win the auction and pay for the item they don't bother giving you back a feedback.... >:(
