    Well she seems very unreasonable and expects you to wait so if you are over the clothes and it does not worry you i would just get your money back. Thats my opinion though, i don't understand why people won't let you pick up if they want more money for the item then they should just put the starting bid up higher.

    i just sent a bit of a rude email saying it was appaling service, and if its not here in the post by tomorrow, i will be getting a refund back from paypal.

    I also hate it when people don't let you pick up.

    $15 postage...for clothes..WTF!!

    Im sure it could all go into a 3kg bag and they are only $9.50 or roughly that much.

    make sure you leave her Neg feedback....how could some one be so rude. An email at least to say she wasnt able to get to the PO would ahve been nice.

    kim i hope they're $9.50 not $950 lol
    I thought ebay had a procedure for complaining about excessive postage? Unless your clothes weigh more that 3kg, or are fragile and require bubble wrap, then 15 is excessive for <10km away from you. I' make a complaint.

    Some people wont let you do pick up for privacy reasons, but they could always arrange to meet your somewhere in public if that were the case.

    ETA: Excessive Postage and Handling Policy

    I believe it could be a violation.....perhaps contact eBay..theres a contact bit on that page!

    Thanks for the replies guys.

    Ok, i didn't get it with the mail today, so i put in a paypal request, but then i went outside just now and it was sitting on my doorstep.

    Anyway, it was only posted yesterday (suprise, suprise), and get this - postage was $6.95 (all she did was wrap it in a black rubbish bag & sticky tape, it wasn't even packaged with one of those tough bags)..

    I wanted to send a message asking for the rest of the $15 to be returned, how would you word it??
