Help-seller increased postage after payment

Hi, I bought an item of clothing from ebay on Sunday and paid immediately. Heard nothing, today,Wednesday, I have received a message from the seller saying that it will cost an extra £8.72 to send the item recorded to me and can I please send the money via paypal and then she will send it.:eek:

I have already paid £4 postage (cheap I know.) but I did not think that it was possible to increase the cost after payment.

WHat can I do now the item was cheap which Is why I bought it. It now becomes not worth it with the extra postage. Please can you help not had this happen before.:(

    Explain to seller that you will not be paying any more and will expect your goods as per the auction. If goods do not arrive open a full paypal chargeback on day 7 .

    Oops! I also bought something else off this seller which had again excessive postage for 99p item. I was not bothered as per that postage cost because the item was cheap. Probably cos of the excessive postage! When I combined the invoice it came up with the postage for that and the other item came up as combined with etc.

    I now notice (idiot) that she had freight on the original item not a postage cost! So I presume that she can now ask me for the extra!

    Sorry for the confusion idiot buyer that did not read description properly!

    Anyway I presume that she is within her rights to ask me for that extra amount.

    So now how do I pay her!

    So you have paid £4 for one item and now she is asking for another £8 odd for the same item? What clothes can possibley cost over £12 to send.
    If i upset you don't stress, never forget that god aint finished with me yet.
