I'm the buyer in an E-bay dispute involving the Statue Of Frauds, I remember this particular defense in Law School, can I get some help?

Seller defines shipping cost to be buyers responsibility, says shipment will be a particular Company. Does not place a dollar figure on the shipping cost. And will not use any other shipping company even though I am the one responsible to pay. It gets even deeper here. Item can be broken down to a smaller size, and shipped cheaper, but seller refuses to disassemble (easy one handle removal and fold it down. Fact is ITEM SOLD ON AUCTION FOR 65.00 BUT WANTS 200.00 to ship it her way! She just wants to place it on a pallet and ship it that way. Sounds like she don't want to sell but argue, anyway I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I need to gather my affirmative defenses in this matter.

Does anybody remember in law school the story of the lawn mower shipped on a pallet instead of in a box?

Any other affirmative defenses from case law?

Is this a pure Statue of Frauds case?

I'm the buyer in Michigan, she's the seller in Missouri.

Thank you

C'mon, you can't possibly have gone to law school and still asked this. Give it up - is this a homework assignment?
