Overcharged by £2 for P&P what can I do?

sequence

Well, I offer free P+P on all my items, mainly to avoid people like the op. I just don't get why buyers constantly whinge about being overcharged for p+p, can't they see past their own greedy noses ?

Once free p+p is in nearly all categories (going to happen) buyers will see nothing but high prices, surely they will go elsewhere ?

When I read "platic bag", I thought that the OP meant like a polytuff bag, not literally a plastic bag

Prehaps it is something to do with feeling ripped off?

Unhappy buyers are less likely to return to ebay which has a knock effect for all of us sellers.

I wouldn't feel ripped off so long as I got a good deal over all. Perhaps I'll never understand why buyers care.... or why they prefer to pay more so they don't feel ripped off.

Because even though they may have got a good deal they will know they could have gotten a better deal if the p&p had been more realistic and will therefore feel short changed.

I wish ebay would get rid of sellers standard rate and make a seller put which service they are actually using

Right... and if it goes for more than you think? Then you get buyers moaning that they only bid because they thought it was going to be sent via (for example) 1st class standard and instead you send special delivery and they've had to go to the post office especially etc, etc.

SSR is a useful service, and if a buyer cares how it is going to be set then the buyer can ask. :rolleyes:

Complain that it cost less to post than was charged and request a refund. At the same time, offer to pay the seller the difference between what you paid for the item and what it cost him.

I don't look at the postage as being separate - I cost up the full cost of the item plus postage before deciding what my max bid should be - I would never pay over the odds in total for anything so my max bid is lower.

Now now, that would be common sense which is obviously not allowed on ebay!

Sensible thinking like this has no place on ebay! What are you thinking?!
