Another ebay deal
After reading Slammed67's thread, I thought I would ask opinions on this.
An auction on ebay was won by myself. I had sent some emails to several sellers inquiring about other items that they may have but were not listed. One replied and said that he had just listed one of the items on my list. If I would bid the reserve, he would end the auction early. I did. The auction stated " buyer pays actual shipping costs." I recieved the item yesterday and thought the shipping sounded a little high. When I checked the invoice, it said $5.00 was added for handling. I have questioned him and he says all his auctions are this way. Look, I know it is only $5.00. The world keeps turning. But I believe that any additional fees should be disclosed prior to the deal. This is not "actual shipping". After all, other people were bidding and he closed the auction for my bid. He set the price. He also has a lot of auctions and at $5.00 per sale he is picking up some nice change. If the invoice had shown one fee, I would have let it go. I will still let it slide because I do not want negative feedback myself. I just wish folks were honest and up front. I still think I got a good deal and am happy with the item. I just don't like surprises. What do you think?
