IMHO, as long as the goods are in tip top condition then it doesn't matter and I definitely wouldn't leave negative feedback - we buy a lot from ebay and look at the cost of something as price plus p&p together and as long as it's agreeable to us then I couldn't care less.

If it saves the sellers some fees then good luck to them.

All they will do next time is charge more for the item (to cover the increased FV fees) and you wouldn't get as good a price.

Don't forget if it is faulty / needs to be sent back you can charge them £19.99 for the pleasure !

The seller has emailed me back, i was unhappy with the reply i received from what i could see against the couriers website.

Feedback is an option, and not compulsory. Its a personal thing, i can leave what i like, whenever i like.

No need to worry, i doubt ill buy anything from you, but if you overcharge me by £11.04, ill leave your a negative too.

Another small point. Every other buyer has left glowing feedback. Yours would simply point out to other sellers - avoid me I'm a moaner. Hopefully.

You are really missing the point if you look at the size of your purchase the average lay person would have thought 19.99 would have been reasonable cost for the size of the packaging. If the seller has a very good deal with a courier company thats good on them and if they decide to charge the market value thats their choice.

You are not being overcharged or robbed you have payed the price that was stated which you accepted. I wil look out for the feedback so I can add you to my block list

Alias - your original question was 'should I leave a negative' to which people have commented either 'chase up the seller' or 'no, don't leave a negative'.

What surprises me is that after the fellow MSE'rs are asked and give their opinion you now want to give neg feedback - I mean this in the nicest way but why ask us then ?

I think you got a good bargain - £99 rrp but this delivered to your door for £69 = great deal without having to leave your front room, squeeze it in the car etc etc

Please reconsider as this just ups the prices for everyone in the long term !

Its irrelevant what it cost the seller to get the item to you and none of your business really. You was happy to pay £19.99 so what's your problem.

Dont forget as a business he will have bills/wages to pay.

I guessing you think he should run his operation as a charity?.

So if the postage label had said £29.99 then you would have offered him the extra £10.

I think to save yourself the stress you should deal with catalogue companies in future and get your "free" delivery.

P.S No I'm not an Ebay seller, Just a buyer.

I would imagine the problem is whether as Buyer you are happy to pay £19.99 for postage and packing because you have been led to believe that what it is likely to cost to pack and post the item.

Surely if it turns out to cost significantly less than that, then the Buyer has been misled by the Seller and has every reason to be unhappy about it.

But what if it had cost the significantly more should the buyer pay that?.

The postage price was stated when you bid for the item.
The seller could have put £40 postage if he wants, if you bid you are bidding knowing that you are paying for that too, if you choose to bid on an item where the postage is obviously too high, thats your own silly fault.

Leave a positive and stop being a grumpy bum!!
