There should be a way of reporting buyers who complain after the end of the auction about:

Postage costs
method of delivery
Ask to collect in person when it wasn't on the listing

I'm sure there are more.

Unfortunately i won't be leaving this issue alone, if the seller had been honest

The seller was honest. He listed the postage charges in the auction.

I understand where you are coming from, but in this case I think pursueing this issue won't get you anywhere.

oh come on surely you thought aboutt this item as a total cost?

why would it of made a difference to you what he paid for postage? you were happy to pay £11.20 for a top you thought that was a good deal or you wouldnt of bought it!!



Its buyers like this that make me really mad. I have been charging £4.00 postage for an item that costs £3.62 postal cost and the rest is for packaging and under the crappy star system people have still marked me down.

When the stars were first introduced in March this year, every item I had for sale was on Free P&P, yet my star rating for this was 4.8...

I guess some buyers are just never happy. Thank god for Blocked Bidder Lists!

I udnerstand whetre you're coming from and it's against ebya's rules but suggesting that he tricked you into thinking you'd got a bargain is ridiculous, surely you look at the total price to make this decision or is a t-shirt for 1p but postage of £100 still a bargain?

At the end of the day you say £7 is £7, but you were happy to pay that before you bothered checking exchange rates. Personally I would only look at exchange rates first when buying from America. It would never occur to me to check up on it after. I have brought many things from America and other places and if I consider the postage as fair, then I bid. I don't buy things for a 1p from Hong Kong and then pay £10 P+P.

Ebay would look upon this as "circumventing ebay fees" as, if they charged a higher buy it now with the correct postage cost, ebay would get more in fees.

The seller sold it for £11.19 including postage.

He should have listed it for £8.00 buy it now PLUS £3.19 p&p (or something like that)

everyone would have been happy and he wouldnt have been doing anything wrong (in the buyers eyes or ebays)
