Seller pulling out - Advice please

won this: [FONT=Arial, Verdana]260148428558

then today seller says this (through ebay messages):

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Verdana]hi mate, cannot send too heavy postage costs around £12. Refund given...
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Verdana]i think its a joke, should have thought of that before they started it at 1p with free p&p!!

i replied saying thats ridiculous and telling them about payperdrop which will deliver for £5.99, but they are having none of it

what should i do??

    Not a lot you can do except leave a neg! 50 sim cards would only cost about £5 to post but that's all you won it for so he may as well try and get out of it.
  • will definitely leave a neg, i'm not bothered about a retaliatory one in return, its only a buying ID i setup recently so not bothered, how do i go about reporting non seller?? (if thats what you call it??) like sellers can report non-payers?? anyone know? never been through something like this before

    I wouldn't leave one just yet, see if he tries to reclaim his fees!

    If he can send you 10 for £1 he can send you 50 for £5 so ask him where he gets the £12 postage from.

    Yep..I use different buying ids with varying levels of feedback. The rubbish I get spouted at me from some sellers when I use a low feedback buying account is incredible. I am always amazed that there are sellers who treat buyers so badly. Just a few weeks ago I had a bid pulled as 'unwelcome' and an email explaining that they would not deal with newbies due to the exxtreme possibility of problems...OK I was using an account with only 7 feedback, but the seller only had 3 positive!
