No buying unnecessary toiletries April 2014

kadison

Don't you just hate it when someone buys something on ebay then messages you to complain about the postage costs? They're clearly displayed, if you're not happy with them, don't buy the item, simple as! TBH I think these people are generally ignorant of how much it ACTUALLY costs to post an item these days! :mad:

Rant over!

I have ordered some face scrubs from Clarins, these aren't unnecessary as I am down to my last tube (well two, but one's nearly finished) and the fab offer is still on, I added a shower gel to bring it up to the £60 and got loads more freebie minis/samples which will be good for the gym, nights away etc.

UU no 13 (I think). Lush bunny bubble bubble bar. Think this was limited edition for Easter, not sure but would buy again if they have it even though I didn't really like that it had leaves/herbs in it, the smell and bubbles made up for that

Don't think I'm going to manage to UU the last 2 from my PP list but at least I've progressed with them

Have a nice day folks

morning all
a UU
elle macpherson manicure in a jar -WNBA started off nice but as time wore on it felt claggy and heavy and hard to absorb into skin
an IN
avon dry oil skin so soft spray with jojoba
bit embarrassed by this now as if i'd looked at my stash list id have seen it already listed so its now in the cupboard with a 1/2 bottle that i already have.

happened to me recently and the "B****" did not pay for it and ended up selling at a cheaper price....99p for a £9 eyeshadow she was due to pay £1.50 and then argued the post was too much still worked out at less than half shop price!!!

This the same sort of thing! It's a watch worth £10 and still in its packaging, she paid 99p and is arguing £3 is too much for postage, it'll cost me £2.60 to send it at least!:mad:

in this situation I tend to politely reply to people the price of each item e.g. envelope, cost of sending the weight of item, cost of any stuffing used etc so they can see why it's that amount then if they don't like it then just sell it again. As you say it's so annoying because the price is displayed for them before they buy it, I never buy anything if I think the postage is too high!

I hate this! I remember once I was left positive feedback and the persons said something like "at last, a seller who uses realistic postage costs!". Little did they know, I'd under-estimated and it actually cost me more money to post the item than I made so I actually lost out! It shows that people don't realise how much it actually costs to send something.

Wishing I had some more UU. Is it bad that I want to use some sample sachets just to get some outs going on?!

The postage costs went up at the end of March too and ebay take 10% of the postage charge so you need to factor that in the cost aswell. Ebay and the PO are shooting themselves in the foot as it is really not worth buying or selling on there so much anymore.

Exactly! It's ridiculous the amount it costs to list and sell something on there for 99p, once you factor in paypal charges as well!:eek:
