Unhappy With Postage Charged By Seller & Actual Postage Seller Paid

You misunderstand, what I am saying is that if this seller is not declaring eBay income ( ie selling own goods) then overcharging pp will mean he falls clearly in " for profit activity"

IMHO...... still utter carp a private seller can net £6,000 before being liable for a penny in tax to the revenue. what he /she charges for post/packing on the way to that figure doesn't matter a tuppenny....

It's against our rules to provide unclear or misleading delivery information or to charge unreasonable fees for postage and related services.

You was saying?

Oddly enough I'm aware of that, it's open to interpretation. If someone is stupid enough to interpret it to mean they charge for the wear and tear of their shoes and any other ridiculous charge they can think of then they deserve to go out of business quicker than they undoubtedly will.
Anyway, thanks for missing the point:beer:

Oh sorry, the point where you said you can charge what you like? And it's not open to interpretation. Against our rules, is pretty much to the point :cool:

Well clearly the seller is the numptie, and does not know basic maths, as they charge £12, when really it's £3.90. How silly of them :rotfl:

What has knowing about maths got to do with knowing the postage costs....?? I am intrigued. Being excellent at maths does not help you measure and weigh the parcel without having a chart to hand for postage costs at the time of listing the item.

PS. Postage 'cost' before packaging is actually £5.10 for said seller, not £3.90. Just so you know. Just pointing this out. Basic maths and all that. How silly of you. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well they overcharged by £8.10, basic maths out the window there? As remember the postage costs cannot go towards your fees etc. Silly you

Remember the buyer also got a refund, you know that 'happy buyer' :cool:

You cannot charge what you like. Encouraging other sellers to break the rules, and rip off buyers is morally wrong.

From your own quote - do you see the bit where it says 'postage and related services'. Well this can include getting to the PO by bus if need be. What this relates to is adding on additional amounts after the same has ended and the price of postage has to be clear at time of bidding.

You can charge whatever you want for postage. Don't like it, don't mid. Simples.

And it also says,

Be sure to specify P&P charges and related service charges in your listings.

Yes they can, stop being a kn ob and making yourself look silly.

You clearly know squat about eBay and as it is now.

All all this cannot add onto postage prices.... you do know businesses have to add VAT onto your 'stamp price' and the packing price, right??

And yes, buyer was very happy until he received it. Happy enough to pay for it. Sellers mistake was to have a label with the postage price on. Buyer was clearly stupid enough to pay £12 in the first place though - especially when they knew what they were getting and how big it was. :cool:

As I say, thank god for my licence number!!

I'm always intrigued by this forum, there's many peeps who really try to help others and then there are the keyboard commandos on a mission who are only interested in arguing their petty obsessions. if you knew their ebay ID's you could block them because they are part the reason that ebay is going down the toilet....


I've said it before if you buy from a website and the price & postage/packing is acceptable you'll pay and be happy.. apply the same prices/post/packing to ebay and there is always a commando to get self righteous and dink you..


some peeps really need to get a life.....

**Yawn** Do you have something else to say, this is getting booooooring now. You post some links and know squat, clever you.

I can imagine you are a joy to be around.

Next.
