7 genesis manuals for $7 with $14 shipping

i bought 7 sega genesis game manual from ebay user whtnja [ http://myworld.ebay.com/whtnja/ ].  the manuals were for;
earthworm jim 1
golden axe 2
incredible hulk
sonic 2
animaniacs
seperation anxiety
zombies ate my neighbors

i left a negative feedback for all of the items won.  the reason why was due to unnecessary charges for shipping.  as the title of this post suggest, i paid $1 each for each of the manual and it totals to $7.  the problem is that i paid a total of $14 for shipping.  $14 to ship out game manuals is pretty steep which is the reason for the negative feedback.  additionally, i bought 14 manuals from another ebay user and i only paid $2 for shipping.  clearly the difference of $14 to $2 is a big difference.  so he ripped me off and i left him a negative response for it.  when i received the package from the guy, it was in a bubble wrapped envelope and the postage was .44 cents.  big rip-off.

the guys response to my negative feedback was,
"Buyer didn't read shipping info or ask about shipping. Unfair neg. feedback"
on the item page, it was never mentioned about combined shipping and when i e-mailed him about combined shipping, he never respond back.  so nothing was ever mentioned and a no response means i don't know the answer on rather he combines shipping or not, which means it's open water.  after the end of the auction, i asked for him to re-total everything and that was when i found out that he did not combine shipping.  i even asked specifically about combining shipping again by re-totaling the cost and he did not respond.  i paid for the cost and i left him a negative feedback because he knew what he was doing, that is to say that he was ripping me off.  so is it an unfair negative feedback?  NO!
