I really wish there was something eBay could do to stop people that gouge on shipping.  My son is currently obsessed with Curious George.  I can't find Curious George clothing.  So I looked on eBay, found a couple of things from the same buyer, and he won't combine shipping charges.  He is charging $25 shipping for two toddler sized  t-shirts and a pair of shorts.    Yeah, gonna pass on that one.Anyone know where I can find Curious George stuff?  Especially shoes?  DS became obsessed *after* Target had all that Curious George stuff for $1. 

I know target carried CG shoes...but that was last fall...maybe check there??

It's been a long time since I've bought anything on Ebay, but I thought you could report people like that.  That is INSANE that anyone would charge that much and even more insane if anyone were to pay it! 

Just did a Google search on "Curious George" clothing toddler, and this is one of the things that came up:  http://curiousgeorge.awestores.com/?gcl ... IgodBT49Ww ETA:  They are kinda pricey, at least in my book.  Have you checked the fabric stores and/or Walmart or even Hobby Lobby for CG fabric?  I remember when my DS was obsessed with Pooh stuff when he was a toddler.  I went to several stores and picked up fabric.  I kinda cut around what I wanted and then ironed on some fabric adhesive (heck, my mind's gone blank on what I want to say!  LOL), then cut it out and ironed it onto a T-shirt that I'd washed without fabric softener.  I "sealed" it with some clear fabric paint around all the edges.  I made several of those shirts, and I even made him several Pooh pillows.  He loved them, and it cost me very little. 

Talk to Amy! She's probably got every Curious George site known to man bookmarked already! She may be able to find something cheaper for ya!!

Thanks for the link Lizzie!  Yeah, they're pricey.  I'm in the market for "I won't cry when he rolls in the mud" clothes.    BUT, they have the yellow hat!  He would flip over that hat.  I might pick that up for him for Easter. 

sorry hon! I had the same problem with Scooby stuff. Right AFTER Toys R Us clearanced everything is when Cole started liking Scooby!Hope you find something!!

What size does he wear??

He's a 3-4T.  Tops he needs a 4, but pants are long in that size.  Shoes are an 8-ish.  I normally don't shop Wal-Mart, so I probably should stop in there.I used to have a bunch of Scooby stuff (my oldest went through a Scooby stage) but Scoobies went buh-bye after the last decluttering session I had. 

I'll keep an eye on freecycle and craigslist here for ya

You're so sweet!  Thanks!I think I'm also going to try garage sales this year for the first time in a long time.  The heathen is finally starting to get over his hatred of car trips.  It's been 3 years of "Do I really need to go there with this child?!?" 

They are price gouging on shipping because they do not have to pay a percentage of the shipping costs to eBay.  They only pay a percentage of the final auction price.  So basically they are cheating eBay.

I don't know about the boys section but they did have some Curious George at Walmart in the girls section.So you might try there.

did a search for curious george on amazonhttp://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_i_4?ie=UTF8& ... %3Aapparel

I'd turn the scumbag in to eBay!!! That is EXACTLY why I stopped going there.

I hate sellers who charge like crazy for shipping. I found one small stamp I wanted on ebay, couldn't find it anywhere else, but refused to buy it because he wanted so much for shipping.

I thnk I have seen  boy pjs at WalMart.

It is ridiculous what some of the sellers are charging for shipping, I'll pass as well.

I want the Karen Foster Wanted paper.  Found one on ebay and they want to charge me $3.95 for a 65cent piece of paper.  I will keep looking.
