    I've got to admit that i've given up too because this board seems to be mostly full of sellers who thinks its ok not giving what they've been paid for even if they think my arguement is petty.
    I chose to pay 2 P&P's and that how i expect the goods to come.
    Remember this is a MONEY SAVING FORUM so at the very least get what you pay for and nothing less.

    OMG i am getting so annoyed with you!!!!. you came here for ADVICE, you got it!. and you can't handle it because its not the way you want it!. so I am so peed off with you:rolleyes: oh and by the way if YOU did want to SAVE money you had the option but you didnt opt for it.

    I believe that sellers on Ebay should give the same treatment to their customers as any other retailer.

    I think this is a perfect example of that at work. If you went into a store and purchased two items at the same time would you expect them to be put in seperate bags?

    Ok, I think I've read it all and can see what the point of the thread is.

    Most of what I would say has already been said, the only think I would add is that for a buyer who admits he 'needs' the feedback this is a funny way of going about getting it. The chances of your seller leaving you 2 lots of positive feedback is, I would have thought, almost nil. As a seller once someone threatened me with a neg on such a trivial matter they would be straight in my 'block bidder and don't leave feedback until they do' scenario.

    If I was in your situation I would e-mail the seller again immediately apologising for the angry tone of the first and say that of course you wont hold them to ransom over feedback.(THREATING TO LEAVE POOR FEEDBACK IF THE SELLER DOESNT DO WHAT YOU WANT IS AGAINST EBAY POLICY AND COULD SEE YOU REMOVED FROM EBAY ALTOGETHER)
    Just ask the seller if he could please refund the 40p discount which they offer anyway for a 2nd item.
    I see no reason why they will not do it.And please be patient,big sellers especially may only have time to read their e-mail once a week si give them more time.
    Whatever the outcome is please do not let this little annoyance ruin your enjoyment of ebay.EBAY IS FAB!!!

    He knows he has been very stupid because everyone has told him so and he is just trying to cover his embarrassment and foolishness. :rolleyes:

    Ok if i got it wrong by making 2 bids for the feedback and being too hasty in the email then i admit that but the poit im trying to make is these were 2 separate pieces of software (1 disc is a Ford manual and the other disc is a NVQ for plumbing) in 2 separate auctions albeit from the same seller.
    The seller had 5 days from getting my order to me mailing him so why in that space of time couldnt he have got in contact with me to ask if i was ok if he sent the goods like that?
    If people wanna get ripped off no matter what the amount is then thats fine cos thats their business.
    In answer to your question jennalicious if i'd paid for the 2 bags to put the goods in then i expect to get them.

    Aahhh...but DID you pay for two bags. You paid for postage and packaging. Correct me if i'm wrong but these items were PACKAGED and POSTED? Did it say anywhere the sizes of envelopes (if indeed they would be arriving in envelopes), lengths of sellotape (or maybe that should be parcel tape), size of labels (pre-gummed or stuck on with chewing gum) you would be receiving?
