ROFL

Just did a Buy It Now for a used Dr. Strangelove (Kubrick Collection)... it was $6.

Go to pay, and it's telling me $28.80 for shipping. (from CA)

Odd since I just paid $3 for shipping on a couple other DVD's from CA.

I bought a brand new Collector's Edition Dr. Strangelove DVD for less than you're paying for shipping so I'd say you were owned at least a little unless there is something about this edition you really want to have.

you were already owned...

The Truth Hurts · 05-16-2004, 03:40 PM

yeah, the SE version is only $15 but I already have 5 of the other SKC's and have Lyndon and Lolita on the way. so I wanted to just stick with that route.

If they listed the shipping charges beforehand then you'd be fucked. But if they didn't you might be able to argue your case, because that's fucking ridiculous.

freeadultcontent · 05-16-2004, 04:01 PM

Yes, show them actual shipping charges and state your claim.

that seems extremely ridiculous

SS396chevelleSS · 05-16-2004, 04:48 PM

that blows, and the fucker will prolly leave you negative feedback if yo udont pay it.

The Truth Hurts · 05-16-2004, 09:18 PM

laughed out loud on that one

riosluts · 05-16-2004, 09:40 PM

same shit happened to me. but ive learned my lesson and always ask for shipping before I bid. Some people even charge like $30 for shipping claiming that, the $30 is fair because it takes time out of their day to go ship it.

Babagirls · 05-16-2004, 09:41 PM

yea, you got owned.

Torn Rose · 05-16-2004, 09:48 PM

Had it happen to me, games was $10, shipping $20 (brand new at Best Buy it was $19.99)

I refused to pay since it wasn?t listed clearly, he then threatened to give me a negative feedback and I told him to gfy.

Then said if I paid 1/2 the listing cost he would leave a positive feedback, I told him to gfy more.

Been over a month and a half and still no feedback.

scammers on Ebay

EviLGuY · 05-16-2004, 09:52 PM

The seller is responsible for determining the shipping and handling charges on listings, and eBay encourages sellers to clearly describe the item and terms of shipping and delivery in their listings to avoid possible confusion. Before bidding on an auction or buying in a fixed-price listing, bidders/buyers should contact the seller about any questions they might still have that are not directly answered in the item's description.

Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fee to the final price of their item, providing that this fee is disclosed up front in the listing. A shipping and handling fee can cover the seller's reasonable costs for mailing, packaging and handling the item. Shipping and handling fees cannot be listed as a percentage of the final sale price.

When a bid is placed, the bidder is entering into an agreement with the seller to purchase the item, which most often means incurring shipping charges that may also include handling fees.

In the case of disagreements between buyers and sellers regarding shipping charges, eBay encourages the parties to try to work the matter out. Usually these situations can be amicably resolved.

This statement from eBay's excessive shipping/handling policy would leave me to believe that they don't want to deal with shipping disputes, but buyers may have a case if the excessive fee (or any substantial, additional handling fee) is not "disclosed up front in the listing".

Aso, on a semi-related note, PayPal used to not allow sellers to charge an additional amount to cover their PayPal fees, but this appears to have changed... does anyone know if this is true? I checked both eBay and PayPal and could no longer find anything to prohibit this practice. I still wouldn't do it in my own auctions, but I can see where it might be nice for other sellers, especially on high dollar amounts.

Ouch, that sucks dude - but you should have been wary
