Well for a start, Ebay say you can add a "reasonable amount" for covering additional costs.

Doesn't matter what Ebay say. If the buyers give you low DRS's, you will lose your TRS status. Ebay agree I am well within their perameters, but 4 low DSRs and I have lost my TRS and am skating on thin ice.

if you drive to the post office, your car uses no fuel either.

In my case if the postage of an item is £10, it costs me another £2.40 in associated costs. But if I charge £12.50 people like the OP whinge and whine because the Royal Mail label says £10.

I have had sellers in the past charge a certain amount for second class postage but when the item turns up they have sent it first class and it is still a bit cheaper what i paid for the p+p and i was happy with that. Now i don't agree where a seller adds extra on postage to cover them taking the item to the post office, if a seller wants extra for petrol or parking then put it on the starting price. Now i have checked the sellers feedback and he has sold a few of the items i bought and he was charging £5 p+p, so as he was still making money charging £5 i guess he thought that wasn't enough and added 75p. My moan is about p+p but the thing i hate most is where he had marked the item as dispatched and not posted it until 3 days later.

What really annoys me as a buyer is people who list items as free p&p and then add this in the item listing. I was told by one seller that this was e-bay's fault as items in this category could only be listed as free p&p.

I did e-mail back asking why she had only added this as an addition to her listing and hadn't included it in the listing price but never got a reply.

As a buyer you either go along with p&p given or chose not to buy.

If you buy something that is marked free p and p seller cannot add more. If you pay by paypal and the seller refunds just walk away from the transaction as they cannot then do an nPB on you .

Let me tell you, buyers are just as guilty at times of ruining the system of ebay, i sold an item of clothing through a buy- it- now, they then questioned the size before paying, they then said it wouldnt do, refused to pay, and i let it go and cancelled the sale, they then left me neutral feedback, how can they, when i didnt evem sell them anything? After questioning ebay the protection is only for the buyers and i was told this by them, i amuble to get his feedback removed. How is that for fairness, so spare a thought for us sellers we are not all bad.

You did sell something though and then you 'mutually' agreed not to go ahead. If you had done a full NPB and buyer had not paid they could not have left you feedback at all.
