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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
