Why would a buyer ever want this?

fabwitch_2

I have had items delivered from Ebay where the sellor has altermatically sent the items recorded delivery which I have signed for. I think i is used to hopewfully ensure the item gets to the person who bought it

i offer my buyers a choice of regular post, recorded or special. if tehy want it they ask for it and they do in about 8/10 cases. if they want it why shouldnt i let them have it?

What about if the seller is dishonest and doesn't send the item? Or if it gets stolen in the post? I have had 2 items stolen in the past year which were sent recorded delivery and never reached their destination...

if teh item is stolen or lost in teh post the sender can file a claim with teh royal mail after a 28 working day waiting period and the money exculding postage is refunded.

Mm. Next time read the auction, eh? Cancelled sales are a major annoyance to a seller.

(I'm not condoning high P&P - but that thing you see when you bid - 'By clicking on the button below, you commit to buy this item from the seller if you're the winning bidder.' it's meant to MEAN something)

talk about paying more than you should, look at Bid TV. Yes the candles are a bargain at £1.00 but it costs a quid to call and £8 to deliver it.:eek:

i think there should be a law against overcharging P&P. I cancelled three ties today I bought on ebay as it would have cost £12.00 to deliver. scandal:mad:

I saw some TV shopping channel last night that were selling 6 4" pies for 15.99 + 5.90 postage and I can't swear to it but I bet you had to call a 09 number to order.

6 4" pies!!!!!!!!

I don't offer a choice in my listings. For normal decluttering, I always charge for Recorded Delivery, but don't overcharge, and have yet to have someone complain about the postage cost.
For pricier items (iPods etc), I only offer Special Delivery. It's slightly dearer, but at least none of us will end up out of pocket (fingers crossed).

We don't offer a choice, everything is sent Special delivery nor do we overcharge on postge.
