Listing quotes


For duplicate orders please duplicate the final bid amount (no need to add more postage) Items posted out 1st class recorded as soon as funds have cleared.
So it should be £2 IMO I wouldn't have bought them otherwise

It not the money, FFS its only £4. its the fact the auction states the above quote yet the seller hasn't followed it through.

Also selling low with a high postage keeps the Ebay fees down.... several times I have seen items for 1p "buy it now" but £39.99 postage

I wouldnt buy them out of principle and tell him to shove it. Leave him bad feedback as he's gone against his word in the listing. He cant leave you negative feedback as a seller now anyway.

It'll be him that'll probably get a strike though as he's contradicting the terms of his own auction!

Reminds me of that lee evans sketch where he was going on about people moaning that the price of stamps have gone up 2p. He was saying 'well take your letter, your 37p, and see how far you get with it!'

Proper funny shit

But isnt that breaking the ebay rules??

I had an ebay auction i won where the guy lived 2 streets away from me and he wouldnt let me come and pick them up without paying the £15 postage fee!!! I rang him up and gave him a round of fucks....

Ebay's not a fookin charity for tight-arse sellers, if they dont like the fees dont use it.....

It might cost £2 at the post office but he has to get to the post office prob in a car so its going to cost for fuel, and its also time out of his day too. quite fair really.

We all have very short legs and it takes considerable effort to walk - much easier to drive

You used to be able to amend the postage your self, you can't now and despite asking for the amended invoice and telling him I wouldn't pay twice for the postage I've had no repsonse, I think got a non paying bidder alert

I know its petty and its fuck all money we are talking about, its just annoying that it was stated in the listing no extra for duplicate orders and he is so tight he is trying to do me for £2

Mods your welcome to delete this thread as it quite lame
