I am an ebayer seller and I overcharge my P&P by between 50p and £3 depending on the item.

Whatchagonnado?

Not bid on your stuff or if i do leave you negative feedback for your awful prices. As soolin said i will also undercut your postage and have your buyers

If someones postage looks to high i dont bid, i saw someone selling a ladies top the other day with £4.50 2nd class postage - like im ever going to bid on that one. I think its the introduction of free 99p listings thats also increased postage as people seem to be listing more at 99p and thenincreasing postage costs to cover it.

I have noticed on these threads and on Ebay as well that lots of people "assume" things without actually reading the listing.

It states whether the item is 1st class only or recorded.

Also you can do search by cost+p&p so sellers do not get advantage on the listing if they put low cost and high postage.

And another thing - after Ebay fees and Paypal fees it's not like it's easy to actually make any money on the item you sell
(speaking as private seller, not business seller)

Exactly the idea - you don't like it, you don't buy it.

It's too late to complain about P&P charges AFTER you bought the item.

I also agree that the introduction of 99p items probably increase 99p listings with high postage fees.

But then I just look at the price as total price and not separately. If you are bidding, you must somehow set the amount you want to pay in TOTAL anyway.

Not if you didn't realise how small the item was going to be.

Okay, in terms easy to understand- I am selling a book, with £10 postage- you buy it thinking that it must be a hardback to cost so much.... it turns up at yours and it is a tiny paperback.

Now you'd feel a little ripped off wouldn't you? I know I would.

Just how big do samples of cosmetics come these days?!!

Besides, most people who complain about postage after the event, only do so when they see the price on the postage label that arrives.

Would they still complain if there was no postage price displayed?

No. Firstly you wouldn't assume anything. If you went to Argos and saw Sony Erricson phone for sale but with no model number listed, do you

A.) Buy the item and complain when you get it home that it isn't the highest specced model available.

Or

B.) Ask the seller exactly what it is.

Its really not hard to figure it out I mean, if your bothered whether its a hard back or soft back then why wouldn't you ask. Your post makes no sense.

No as I would have know the total cost when I entered the bid.

I would have been happy to have paid that total cost otherwise I wouldn't have bid.

It's not rocket science.

But cosmetics samples are all more or less the same size anyway...They are titchy, and that's why they're samples.

No, sorry. If you don't read the listing where it's all stated (and according to OP it was stating that it's "sample") then you just seriously shouldn't buy stuff on Ebay.
You should be one of those people who only shop in the actual shops where they can see the real item displayed. Not even Argos shopping.

If the OP believed the he was mislead on the description of the actual item - then yes, he/she has got a point and might leave a negative feedback.
Something like "I was lead to believe the item was 50ml but what turned up was 5ml sample".
But that is not what his/hers post says.

Where did you read that the OP dated it was a sample size in the listing?
She's said it was sample size, in post 9, but never that it was stated in the listing, so it's a bit early to be name calling.
