f**k_your_enemy Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I won a book on eBay and didn't look at the postage before bidding. They want £7.70 for postage and the size of the book is Hardback 9 ½ x 6 ½ x 2 ¼ thick.The seller is based in the UK too and that seems to be taking this piss.Is there a way I can report to eBay that I think they are asking too much?

The Sandman Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Is there a way I can report to eBay that I think they are asking too much?I don't think so dude, bar feedback. Try contacting him and arranging something, such as a cheaper delivery (i.e. not recorded, not insured, not first class). That does take the piss though, way to expensive.

Gryfon Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I won a book on eBay and didn't look at the postage before bidding. They want £7.70 for postage and the size of the book is Hardback 9 ½ x 6 ½ x 2 ¼ thick.It will probably arrive in an A4 sized jiffy bag costing 49p with £1.90 worth of Stamps on it :chef: If the P&P price was listed on it when you bid on it there really isn't much you or eBay can do about it Try and grovel to the Seller to cancel the sale, or do like Sandman said and haggle for cheaper delivery I've bought Mp3 players from eBay costing 99p with £30 of postage But It still kind of averages out on the end price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f**k_your_enemy Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 I tried to lower the price but they won't move. I'm still getting the book cheaper so I shouldn't complain really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
