P&P grumble

"And if we all followed your advice and added packaging costs to P&P charges (as well as petrol, wear and tear on shoes etc)
I think you'll find I said those with talk of petrol and shoe leather are making excuses for over charging.
we would end up with buyers that rate low on the stars resulting in selling restrictions, after all buyers expect to be charged the cost of the stamp."
Only because they think like you do, so far on this thread several people have commented and you're the only one to tell the OP to leave low scores because you (and again no-one else has said this) think postage and packaging shouldn't include packaging!In the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your pieces0 -
Havent read the whole thread but my point of view as both a buyer & occasional seller on ebay is that I don't bid unless I am happy with the overall price. If I think the postage cost is way too much for the item, I wouldn't bid. I certainly wouldn't email a seller after receiving the item, I knew the total price before I committed to buy.SOA = Statement of Affairs (to find a SOA Calculator, google 'make sense of cards' & click on calculators tab > Statement of Affairs)0

Perhaps now is the time to ask you what P&P stands for then you will see you may most probably have a different opinion and a red face
He/she knows and says they agree but it's 'most eBayers' that disagree apparently. I think a lot of sellers who have been marked down 'unfairly' feel others should also be marked down, I also think this is an example of such.
Either way advising to mark a 1/2 over a pound or so on an otherwise perfectly happy transaction seems off to me.In the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your pieces0 -

If you were 'ignoring' my comments, you wouldn't be directing your comment at me and my previous posts. Think about it.A home without a dog is like a flower without petals.0
