A seller has a dozen chips listed on ebay and is charging $4.00 for postage. Needless to say there is no way yours truely would ever subject himself to a fee such as this so I thought a "polite" clarification might be in order. Here it is.

May I assume you plan to send these chip via Priority mail? Surely you are not charging $4.00 to mail 5 oz. costing $1.29 regular mail. If my assumption is correct, I will be happy to bid on your chips.

Hopefully the seller will get the hint.
