Always check postage on ebay invoices!!

Just bought a bag on ebay and the listing stated £1.99 for 1st class standard, when the invoice arrived in my email, it stated £1.99 for 2nd class standard!! I don't usually check, just happened to notice this time - just a warning incase nobody else checks, esp now with Royal Mail problems!
Debt 1: Personal Loan £88 per month til 2010
Debt 2: Overdraft of £900 limit, now down to £500, should be down to £200 by end of April and then cleared end of May
Debt 3: Credit Card £500 - haven't spent on it in a long time, so just to pay off the £500

  • Did you query this with the seller?

    It may have said 2nd class on the invoice, but how was it actually sent. If it was posted 1st class then just forget about it, if it was sent 2nd, I would raise it with the seller as you paid for 1st class delivery.

    I had this before when buying an item, seller said they had got the postage mixed up (which I have done before) putting the a second class postage price on 1st class postage so he changed it when he sent me the invoice.
  • i queried it with him before paying - he's now clarified first class, didnt say why it was different on the invoice, but I'm sure I'll see when I get it:confused:
