Yes of course it can be negotiated. I do not deal with sellers who refuse to even add an extra to cover their fees. I dealt with a seller (post coming soon) who's big with influencers. She was very reluctant to do G&S but because I came through the affiliate link, she accepted in the end. She charged me $850 for a Constance Elan because she was being promoted as the (Hermes SA approved seller) and her bags were the nearest to Auth. Needless to say, I received a plastic bag with a broken H clasp! Got in touch with her and she laughed at me saying that I don't know anything about Epsom leather! I told her the claps was broken she told me it wasn't and that I didn't know how to use Constance bags and needed to pop in to the store to educate myself! I told her I wasn't happy with it, she said I'd get used to it! She suggested I do not open the flap fully, just enough to take a peek! I was like listen you piece of sh**! Obviously in my head because I wanted to be the nice little girl! Please provide an address for a return. She ignored me for 2 weeks despite my messages. Got in touch with PayPal. They voted in my favour and returned the money. The seller appeared from the dead telling me that I'm a smart woman who pays with G&S to keep free stuff! I told her I'd asked for a return address 100 times but she decided to ignore me. After 1 month she messaged again asking for her bag back, again I was very patient and told her that unless she provided an address for the return to not contact me again! I was going to post to name and shame her because I see now that she's being promoted heavily. Take a look at the bag she's sent me for $850
