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 didand 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 feedbackand I wont be answering the message from them
Let ebay know about the messages to you from them
Goodonya Mazbaby for doing this!
good on you Maz!
good for you!!
I'm so wary of ebay now, I bought an item a year ago and ended up getting a bargain price...then the seller invoiced me MORE postage than in the item desription because I was in Tassie WTF???
I took it up with ebay and apparantly a seller CAN do that. Bleh!
I notice on e-bay quite a few sellers do that. It bugs me I try avoid them if I can. Good on you maz!
