seller taking ages to post item.. wait or get paypal refund?

[Yael]

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??

PMSL - that was almost the exact phrase going through my head!!!!!!!

Id be making a complaint to eBay in regards to it, and emailing her saying please justify how the postage on this item $6.95 and you charged $15

I've had alot of similar problems, I've also emailed about very expensive postage (I think it was about $15 for one top!?!) & they emailed me back saying the cost was not only for postage but also for "handling", like the seller having to actually put it in the post box for you. You may get a similar response.

I would definately email them though & DEFINATELY leave negative feedback for her. She was so rude & inconsiderate! She can only leave positive feedback for you now too hehehe (Damn new rules!)

I'm so angry for you.... grrrrrr

i still think they are only allowed to charge a reasonable amount for handling, and 6-7 dollars IMO in unreasonable. I would query it with ebay.

Worth reporting the postage costs to eBay. Any item posted from a Melbourne metro area to another Melbourne metro area will cost $6.95 (or less if it's a tiny item) regardless of the size/weight. I don't know where she pulled that figure from!

I hope you hear back from her re: the postage costs. I always refund extra postage if I have misquoted, some people are just rude and greedy .

Ive been following this thread with interest - i hate, with a passion people overcharging postal costs on ebay. Ive actually stopped the whole bidding on ebay now, im over greedy people. Ive noticed some 'buy it now ' things are like $5 for an item, but postage is $10 !!! - and its a article of clothing - WTF ???

I wouldnt be rude, but to the point 'Got the item. Can you please give me a quick run down of how you came up with the $15 postage price? I have ebay looking into it (which you dont,but just scare her) but was wanting clarification from you too. Thanks (biatch !!)
