Postage Gouging...again!
Comments

Then you wouldn't keep your account for very long then. I refund if an item has gone as large letter instead of packet.
11 years this month! I don't mean this callously, but I suspect others are the same. The last time I did a big listing day, I went to the post office, dumped all the parcels and paid the final bill. I have no idea what each item cost to post, I charged the same for all of them. I didn't then go home and charge those I undercharged more, and refund those I overcharged You win some, you lose some. Who has the time?0 -
Errm - didn't i say it was.
I spent Christmas day in 2 hosptals visiting intensive care.
Luckily you didnt email me that day - or you would have got it both barrels for being a nasty little scammer.
You agreed a price - and you are trying it on.
Why am I a nasty little scammer? What am I 'trying on'
I haven't asked the seller for any refund, have I? I've not pretended I didn't receive the item?
I doubt you do 'give your buyers both barrels' - if you called a genuine buyer like me a 'nasty little scammer' then you would be looking at bad feedback.
Crikey- all I did was post on here about objecting to being overcharged on postage!0 -

You said you DID ask the buyer for a refund!!!!! Because he wouldn't you trashed his feedback.
You were not overcharged - you were charged the price stated!!!!
Oh, and i didn't say you were one - just that in the perspective of the events at the time - someone petty can just push you over the edge. Life is too short.0 -

When did I say I asked for a refund? You are putting words in my mouth. I said 'I queried this with the seller'
For your reference, this was my message.Hi there
Recieved the top today and I love it, many thanks.
I just wanted to make sure that the postage was definitely supposed to be £3.50 as it arrived in a paper envelope with £1.20 stamp on it. Thought there might have been an error.
Thanks0 -

You did call me a nasty little scammer. I quoted you!0 -
According to some, buying a dvd on ebay
1.99 + 0.99 postage = good value
0.99 + 1.99 postage = bad value0 -

Once agin you just dont get it - i was pointing out that people don't need this crap when they might have more serious crap to deal with. I am not surprised you don't get it though.
You are now saying you didn't want a refund you just wanted to moan at the seller and trash his stars - and then come and rant on here. Are you that bored?0 -

To the buyer, it really should make no difference. To the seller however, it is a 15p listing fee plus 10p extra FVF. So that's from £1.70 profit, say, to £1.45. That's quite a %!!!0 -
Whatever. I'll see you all moaning on the eBay forums that you have been banned due to postage charges.
I forgot that people are not allowed to disagree with the majority.0
