Another E-bay user -grrr :

"Hi there,
I've just succuessfully bid for your US robotics modem and have just come to reliase two things that:
a) you do not accept paypal, which is the only way i am able to pay (i thought you could always pay via paypal)
b) i think you have made a mistake in the postage price of £6, Royal mail standard postage deliveray isnt going to cost more than £3 for an item that size/weight.

Thankyou for your time, my apologies for not noticing these issues before the auction closed, nether-the-less i hope we can come to an agreement on the above.
Yours faithfully
Doug"

and my reply is:

"Doug
Thank you for your email. Please would you have another look at the listing. It clearly states that the postage cost will be £6 in total and it will be sent using royal mail parcels. This is how much it will cost me to package it up, take it to the post office and send it. The weight of the whole parcel is heavier than you might expect because of the weight of the power supply. I wish I could send it for £3 but I can't and I do not understand where you got that figure from as even the smallest parcel costs more than that in postage alone.

As for the paypal issue, my listing also clearly states that the payment methods available are cheque or postal order. I see from your feedback that you have sent a cheque to a seller in the past. I do not mind whether you send a cheque or a postal order but I do not accept paypal.

I look foward to receiving your payment of £7.99 soon by cheque or postal order.

Regards
Tracey"

And he whinged because he was getting a modem for the outrageous price of £7.99? What a plonker!

I had a prob with an e-bay user who was a bit 'optimistic' in his description of an item that cost £10 with £7 postage. He offered a refund of the £10 but only if I posted it back to him - so I would be out of pocket by £14 with nothing to show for it, he'd not be out of pocket at all and would still have the item he could sell. So when I gave negative feedback, he then gave ME negative for complaining about his description when I'd paid promptly and in full. What a ... well you fill in the blank.

They know how much something cost b4 they bid so why moan about it??

And dont you just hate it when as the buyer you do everything right and get let down with the salers description. had a that a few times now.

Pissed off? Me? Well, yeah. Just received a NIP for 36 in a 30 zone on that 'interesting' ride to Brighton. Not a happy bunny. VERY not a happy bunny.
