Recently I won a ebay auction from this dude (or whoever this climber is) for a set of 10 nut so I emailed this guy so i could come and pick the items since he is only 10 miles away from me and paying $15.95 for shipping plus additional $5.95 sounded really stupid right ?
but no, this dude with 5 feedback wants to pull fast one on a guy like me who is ebay seller with 107 items on his ebay auction plus 1200+ feedback.
go sell a baseball cards but once you decided to sell climbing gear on ebay , remember, do not do climbers

I don't know if I agree with this, some of my best "dos" have been climbers, definitely some of the most exciting places that I've "done" have been with climbers, but they didn't charge me, they handled my nuts at no charge.

You should not bid on items if you do not agree to the terms of the sale. If there was no "pick it up" option mentioned then it's your faulty for thinking there was.
I think that shipping costs are not included when eBay takes commission so many people increase the shipping costs and have low selling costs to try to cheat a little. It's bad to ever assume you can alter the deal after you won the bidding.
I would take a loss and let you pick up the stuff but that's just me. It's too bad you expect more from climbers just because they are climbers. Good luck getting your stuff.

I understand ebay and i rather pay the guy in cash than pay via paypal which will cost him more and there was no mention about local pickup so i assumed it was ok to pick it up locally but then he said i still need to pay $5.95 which was not mentioned anywhere.

Actually, Ebay has rules against shipping price gouging. You can file a complaint, and they'll look into it.
However, since you already bought it, you agreed to the terms on paper. You're screwed.

Why would you assume someone selling climbing gear on ebay is a climber?

I buy thousands of dollars worth of climbing and I am sure i could tell the difference between a mom and pop seller and stupid climber. most none climber aren't smart enough to know the detail of what they are selling so i am pretty sure he is a climber.
Set of 11 wired stoppers. They are in good to fair condition and working order.
Set includes:
Chouinard 3 of #5, one is older with square corners, #6, #7, #8, #9, 2 of #10, #12
Wild Country #7
The picture is of the items you will receive.
See also my auctions for camalots, carabiners, hexes, nuts, and more.
I will waive the handling fees(not the shipping) if you win more than one of my climbing item auctions and they are shipped together
!!! WARNING – CLIMBING IS DANGEROUS !!! CLIMB AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!

Well, why are you buying used sh*t off ebay in the first place? Don't you get pro deals? Also, if you climb enough you can find that much booty once the weekend is over and the n00bs go home.

I get pro deal on most new gear from MFGs for my own use but these are used for training purposes where I pass a set of nuts and cams to students so they could build anchors. having 12-20 students in class with three in each group requires a lot of gear and with of price one pro deal item, I could get two used gear which sounds more economical .

$10 a stopper? I've got a few that I'd part with for that.
