OTT P&P? Or am I being unreasonable?

    P&P should be reasonable. Sellers shouldn't include ebay or paypal fees in postage charges either, these should be taken into account when setting price. It is not the buyers responsibility to cover sellers fees, after all the seller chooses to use this avenue of marketing. You wouldn't charge buyers at a car boot pitch fees.

    When leaving feedback I always mention item, packaging and delivery time. If I think P&P was OTT I mention excessive postage.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    Which is the reason why a lot of sellers are unwilling to leave feedback until feedback has been left for them.;)
