But i won a Brand New bikini for 1.99 and the P&P was 3.00 (Stupid P&P i no) the i won a top for 0.99p and the P&P was £2.50 but then i thought how could a little top and a bikini weigh so heavey? anyway i asked them to send me an invoice to see if she would give me discount and she has sent me 2 inovice's one for the top which said top 0.99p P&P £4.00 total £4.99 i got a bit confused with that one then she sent me another invoice as i did not reply to he first. The second was for the bikini so it has bikini £1.99 P&P £5.00 total £6.99 I was like !!!!!! so my OH emailed her back as its his ebay account and asked what was going on but we still havent heard from here and i need thme b4 thursday!! Can anyone help me? Im so confused

Good luck if you need them by Thursday - did the seller speify 1st class postage? If the seller doesn't reply, try editing the p&p amount on the invoice - I think buyers can do so unless the seller specifies otherwise. You can then add a note saying you've paid the postage specified on the listing, and politely asking if they'll send asap since you're in a hurry. I'd forget about any notions of a p&p discount.

A seller does not have to post out items immediately on payment, so unless they specify instant shipping or something, and saying 1st class isn't sufficient as they can mean 1st class postage on day 6..then it might have been better to email and ask before bidding.

There is also no requirement for the seller to combine post and packing. However, although the postage was high and you chose to bid knowing that, the seller can't now increase that even further.

Personally I would get the sellers contact details and give her a call, explain that the invoices came through wrongly and just say you'll be paying as per the original auction and could she possibly ship ASAP? Then if she says yes, just pay the original amounts in separate transactions (if she won't combine p and p then let her pay both sets of paypal fees) and again politely ask on the invoice if she can ship ASAP.

However, I would think it extremely unlikely that these will arrive for Thursday. If you pay today and she sends Tuesday even first class might be pushing it if she is in London where our post can be slow.

I would just wait for the seller to get back to you with the correct invoice.

People boost up the p&p as a way to covertly jack up the price. Seems like it works too.

its not the fact that i need them buy thursday its the fact that she can send me the right invoice!

are you a newbie on ebay? Some people try this out as some newbies are vulnerable! I would report to ebay if she hasn't contacted you!

If you don;t think she is going to combine then you can go through checkout or use the invoices as sent, but pay the correct amount, and make payment. Make sure whatever you do though that you pay by paypal backed by a credit card just in case then if there are any problems firstly you can prove payment, and secondly you can reclaim your moey if it goes wrong.

Yeh I agree with Soo! Al lyou can do is go through your end of the deal! if she doesn't like it then you can get your money back and leave her a neg!! I would want to steer clear from people like this!! She might be just trying it on to see what she can get away with!

Hope it goes ok!!

yer i no but she keeps changing her mind about the P&P one minutes it like £3.00 the next it £5.00 for the bikini and the top its on minutes £2.50 the next £4.00 quite confusing!
