    yup ive often sent back a bit of ive over estimated costs
  • The postage was actually £2.38!!! and I'd put it at £6.99 completely innocently overestimating the charges! I've messaged her and sent her a £4.50 refund and had a nice mail back thanking me for my honesty. Feel better now!

    I always refund postage if the actual was less than I expected.

    I also send sellers extra if I see that the postage they were actually charged is more than they charged me.

    I treat others how I would like to be treated.

    I've had a seller do it before to me - I bought 7 DVDs off her, at a P+P charge of £2.50 a disk, she refunded me £6 :D
