bought this from the states last week and then got an email today saying that the postage was not enough and if i want these then i will have to pay an extra $23 postage in addition to the $8 i have already paid... dont know if i want to they are not the best condition

I'm pretty sure when the seller states the amount of shipping it is binding by the rules of ebay. Personally i wouldn't pay it in a million years on principle alone and would open a dispute with ebay.
They are out of order.

I agree, this guy is trying to rip you off! It bugs the hell out of me when people charge over the top prices for P&P :|

 

[jayjedi]

how much do you think postage should have been ?

 

[Boba 71]

At a push, no more then an extra $2-$3

 

[plantman]

to post that would cost no more than $10 mate

tell him to **** off, forward his email demanding more money to ebay and give him a negative, he obviously wants more for the item

im in a bad mood lol. but thats what id do.

I mistakenly charged someone £9 for postage to australia insured, i soaked the £25 cost up cos it was my fault, i would never have asked them for more

100% agree. He is taking the piss and and whatever it "should" cost, he's stated 8 so 8 it should be. Report him and leave bad feed-back. He'll be gutted and think twice about it next time.

 

[Boba 71]

Your right the price he put down is the price he should charge. The extra $2-$3 I would pay should be for insurance and tracking so he can't say it got lost.

 

[Bollux]

He is trying to make some money back because you got the items for a good price!

 

[edd_jedi]

Agreed, guessing postage costs is all part of the fun :lol: but seriously who takes everything they ever sell to the post office to get weighed BEFORE listing for sale? I always just guessed, more often that not it was pretty much right but I remember a few times it being way over or under - you win some, you lose some. As long as you stick to what was quoted before money changed hands, nobody has a reason to moan.

Open up a dispute and report the thieving twat to ebay. He entered into a contract with you and must abide. He set the P&P, he isnt allowed to change it coz you managed to get a bargain

 

[aussiejames]

Pay the extra, then put in a Paypal claim- the buyer(you) always wins. If they don't send it signed for with tracking- just say it never showed up and get all your money back. That will teach the seller for being a twat

I have shipped similar things to the UK from here ...that would not cost more than $10 to ship...even at that I probably would pocket a couple dollars. He is a douche bag.

 

[jayjedi]

thanks guys, i have sent him an email saying that he quoted for the packaging and i would pay an extra few dollars for tracking so i will have to see how it goes, also contacted ebay via live help and they were quite helpful saying that i shouldn't pay it and were dealing with the buyer , so hopefully they can lean on him enough to send them.... or i it will piss him off and i'll get a message telling me to eff off

 

[PGowdy]

Good stuff.
Good luck with it and let us know how you get on.

 

[jayjedi]

ok, got a very short email today from the guy... it just said " shipped 6.22.10"
so i will wait and see, thanks for all the advice 8)

 

[PGowdy]

Ha, sounds like you got him. Nice one.
:wink:

 

[plantman]
