I hate when they don't specify shipping, you're at their mercy.
Not really. I contact the seller and discuss it and get that settled; BEFORE I bid.
"Actual shipping" is better than "plus shipping" (unspecified). At least you can check that yourself and resolve discrepancies should they arise. I never nit-pick fair a realistic shipping and handling costs (but I also refuse to let a shipper try to pad his losses, if any, by adding it on there.)
