You can also reflect this in the star system when giving feedback. I have heard that system changes are going to see sellers screwed over if they're not averaging 3.5 stars, so obviously make sure you give him one star for everything - especially the postage one!

It is quite common to jack up the postage, especially on international items. It lowers the fee that sellers pay to ebay, beause it's a percentage of what's bid. In second hand bicycle part circles it is completely accepted that that's just what you do.

They had a fee for pickup?!?!?! Thats just outrageous!!! Should have got me to pick it up and I would have told him exactly where he should SHOVE his $15 pick up fee.

How ridiculous.

I wanted to leave nuetral feedback but I have to wait 7 days after purchase to do so...hmmmm
He will be getting a big fat 0 star for postage from me for sure and maybe another one for his sneaky attitude

That really gets my goat - I hate people doing that but I am so glad the knob head wrote the email to you - shows just how bright he is!!

Hey Maz when you do get a chance to leave feedback be sure to comment about the excessive postal fees so that people can read your experience. This is how I choose between sellers!!

How do you know what's reasonable postage for some things? I just bought something fairly bulky (but light) from Hong Kong for 99c... postage was $59 - I didn't think to question it but now I'm wondering...
It still worked out to be a reasonable price but if they're doing something dodgy...

Likewise! I am a frequent ebayer and it is one thing to overestimate but another to charge PACKING FEES! If he is that worried about losing out she should set a low bid limit like everyone else! I have had people overestimate postage before and send me change in the package but to outright charge that postage and then a "wage" is disgusting!

ugh what a load of crud! good on you Maz for takign it further.

i planned to bid on a brand name t-shirt once, for 99c, the postage was $15 for one t-shirt. i sent a message and asked why it was so much, and if i won 5 t-shirts for 99c, i might pay 15, but not for one. she replied and said 'there are other costs involved other than just the postage envelope...' i said, well good luck trying to sell any products, and i won be bidding on any of her items EVER.

how sneaky.

I sure did and guess what. I got an email not through ebay but my inbox about how upset they were that I was upset and taht her husband explained everything to me.

I emailed back and said

PLease dont email me anymore. this is harrassment and to think you call yourself god given people!!!

that was a week ago and yesterday, through the ebay message system I get a message from them


Hi there, I would like to offer you a refund on the postage of the giraffe print doona cover and ask that you revise your feedback to a positive rating in return.
I know this is a bold request but it can be worthwhile for both of us.
Please let us know your thoughts.

now while its tempting I will not be blackmailed. Its the point of the matter now. They shouldnt be charging so dame much.

Sorry cant by my positive feedback and I wont be answering the message from them

[AngelPunks]

Let ebay know about the messages to you from them

Goodonya Mazbaby for doing this!
