I paid the entrance fee:p
What right do you have to condemn mine?
This could go on a while, I may let my two year old join in to add a bit of age to the argument.:D
Well if that's your answer? That must mean I paid the entrance fee to?
Your choosing to quote, then reply to my 'implied' childish posts.Always open a case if your unhappy with a transaction :money:0 -

Now, say goodnight to the folks Gracie.
The only childish post is your post above, and previous posts of yours. Contradiction at its finest
This does not make you look any better. Always open a case if your unhappy with a transaction :money:0 -
"Well you sound like fair person. So I'm surprised. I have said before, maybe put the price of the stamp in the listing? So they know, they are just paying for the stamp? Seems highly unfair, but sadly that's how things work."
The above is a quote from your recent post.
You really do not think things through, do you?
Please explain how putting the price of the stamp in the listing allows the buyer to know they are just paying for the stamp?
And for your next classic.
"It's eBay who encourage buyers to open cases. It's not the buyers fault how eBay decide to run there business"
So what does your signature say then?

Ok, more posts that haven't been thoroughly read. I see you ignored my other post, which you wanted so badly
Least I don't outright lie :rotfl:
Lets put the WHOLE post up first yes?

What is wrong with my statement? They only charge the cost of a 2nd class stamp? Which I have said plenty of other times in my posts to you. That is the way it should be. They don't even charge packaging, which I don't either. I to charge what it costs to send, nothing else.
So please explain how that is news to you?? If they put the price in the listing. It confirms that they are paying just for the stamp price, and nothing else. REMEMBER the poster was annoyed they was getting low stars for this issue?????
I don't think you think things through. I have said plenty of times, to show the costs in the listing. In fact I did in the last post to you, which you ignored.
And for your second little nugget, will shall show the whole post.

It worries me that there doesn't seem to be an appreciation by some buyers that the stars and cases opened could make the difference to sellers in such a big way- my latest 3* for item description was left by a buyer (they are no longer anonymous) who left perfect feedback for me with no complaint mentioned at all.
I am so close to risking my accounts by emailing this buyer and asking whether she realises that her 3* feedback in one category could lose me my account- I would love her to know that her stars are no longer anonymous (don't panic regulars, I know the rules and won't contact her- but I am so blasted tempted)"
"I do get that. But as must buyers are classed as 'thick' etc on here. Then do you really think 90% of buyers know about defects?
It's eBay who encourage buyers to open cases. It's not the buyers fault how eBay decide to run there business. Same with the stars.
And if stars aren't anonymous, that just means buyers will leave 'really honest' feedback, ie, Neg/Neu. When Before you still would of got a Positive."
I said. "It's eBay who encourage buyers to open cases. It's not the buyers fault how eBay decide to run there business. Same with the stars."
Now what is your issue with this exactly?
eBay do encourage buyers to open cases, yes. It's not the buyers fault if it's opened from a message, as that is what they are told to do.
So my signature says. "Always open a case if your unhappy with a transaction"
What is your problem with that? eBay do encourage cases. I think this might be a shocker for you. But you can CHOOSE TO OPEN A CASE IF YOUR UNHAPPY WITH A TRANSACTION. It's not the buyers fault if they open a case from the messages. AS IT IS ENCOURAGED. I don't see how hard this is to get?
But I suppose you have to dig at my posts, because you got caught out lying.Always open a case if your unhappy with a transaction :money:0 -

So you advocate encouraging a 'case' before contacting the seller,as your signature would suggest?

I have a dig at your posts because they go round and round in circles but still come up with the same silly answer.
However you decide to waffle on, adding the 'stamp' price to the starting price does not stop you being 'ripped off', the same as having a separate price for item and p&p. And in both cases you cannot be 'ripped off' because you clicked to confirm and were happy.
If the final price the buyer pays is the same in both cases then no one has been ripped off, no matter what the p&p charge was, something you continually fail to understand.

Only your posts go round and round in circles.
What you fail to understand is, if your going to be charged for a service. Then you have every right to be annoyed when you find out it was cheaper. You have been charged for a service. You do not agree to pay £12 for a £3.90 service.
When it comes to 'free postage' you are NOT being charged for a service. Hence you can choose whatever you like, and that's fair enough. Because in that case, you are agreeing to that price because of the 'free postage'.
It's not always the case your paying the same end price. Some sellers refund you the difference if you have been overcharged. The buyer hasn't even asked for a refund, but they get one.
You can't complain about free postage, your making that choice to pay the full price. When you charge for a service, you can complain when you have been overcharged.
You will never see the difference, thats the problem. I have an issue with CHARGING FOR A SERVICE. The end price is irrelevant.
You are using your argument on the basis of a non charged service ('free postage') and a charged service.
Why don't you go quote all the posters saying the OP has got ripped off? Lets have a guess why you WONT!
It's against our rules to provide unclear or misleading delivery information or to charge unreasonable fees for postage and related services.

Yes I encourage to open a case if your unhappy.
Though if your only trying to send a message to the seller, then get re-directed to open a case. Then that's not the said buyers fault. That is where eBay is encouraging them to. Pretty simple!Always open a case if your unhappy with a transaction :money:0 -
Don't try to sort it out here - contact ebay (and paypal if you used it for payment) and report the seller for overcharing the postage. They will open a dispute and most likely make her refund the difference in postage.0

Wow, not only bad advice but factually inaccurate.0
