Bulk ebay seller doesn't combine shipping?

[NeonStreetMelt]

Found one of those power sellers on ebay, with feedback in the hundreds of thousand, started comparing their Blu prices to some others I've dealt with, and 8 out of 10 titles, they had them beat on price, including besting Amazon's lowest 9/10 times...so I go through their whole stock to find what I most want.

And then I notice on every Blu, there is a 2.98 media mail charge, with no combined shipping mentioned, and no change in shipping charge after adding to my cart. And they receive such volume of messages I can't contact them, I mean I sent a message, but don't expect to ever get an answer. And since everything is buy it now, with ebay's current policy immediate payment is required, so option to "request total from seller" before buying is not available.

Paying 2.98 per blu when he's just shipping media mail basically ruins the deals I thought I'd found with this seller. When I tallied up what it would cost in shipping to get everything I wanted from them, it was over $50. I've mailed 50+ movies to someone in one box, media mail and it didn't cost that much. Does this guy really mail each blu individually even if the same person orders over a dozen the same day, isn't that more work and tedious?

I even read about some sellers rebating extra shipping cost through paypal after you buy more than one item at a time from them, so I thought, maybe I'll try something since I really wanted to take advantage of their base prices, so did a test order where I bought 2 of his cheapest titles, and, got charged $6 for shipping and so far nothing. If that stands I guess I'll be doing business with another seller which is a shame for this guy cause I would've given him a lot of business, but you can't get in touch with them.
