Why do I bother????  Group: Members Posts: 633 Joined: 8-September 03 From: Madison, MS Member No.: 1,123  |
Any thoughts on how to deal with an eBay seller trying to rape me on shipping? I've ordered an item that I've purchased a few of from other sellers. Shipping is typically around $10-$15. He wants to charge me $37.
I've already won the auction, and no, he didn't list and I didn't ask. I think that I'll refuse to pay and take the hit if he won't work with me. I have 189+ ebay feedback (100%) and he has 1+ (100%). I sent him an e-mail with shipping quotes from UPS and USPS for a package the correct weight and size. |

I just went through the same thing. He did however list the shipping. I knew it was a load of shit, but I wanted the steering wheel, so I paid it.
The seller is listed in California, and shipping was about $30.00. I can understand inflated shipping charges to cover all states if it's a flat rate, but $30.00 is a joke, if it's not an oversized package. I guess it alll comes down to how bad you want it. In your case, I would take the hit and tell him to pack it... |
