did I get owned on ebay?
 

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.


:helpme

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.

SpaceAce

you were already owned...

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.

Not to be rude, but who the fuck are you?

ya should have read the shipping charges before ya bought it now thats where alot of sellers make their cash

yeah... the others i ordered had the shipping listed right there.. this one didn't... just had the shipping calculator which last time I used it, didn't work.

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.

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

looks like the owning just got turned around... go get em' TTH:thumbsup

I've got a mail into the guy stating the case..

i'll wait and see what he has to say before i do anything else.

:1orglaugh yeah...

owned

that seems extremely ridiculous

shouldnt be more than a few bucks

that fucker! :BangBang:

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

guy replied and fixed the shipping..

now lets just hope he doesn't rub his balls all over the dvd before he ships it.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

laughed out loud on that one

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.

yea, you got owned. :glugglug

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.

:321GFY scammers on Ebay

I hate that.. lots of underhanded motherfuckers selling shit on Ebay.

I got taken like that one time myself..

lol, you hear about that one when someone bought an X box and got a X BOX, :1orglaugh that's owned, you just got punk'd :glugglug

Damn Ebay scammers give Ebay a bad name! :BangBang:

who's charging that much for shipping of a DVD? where's it coming from ?

it's coming from california... to massachusetts..

he fixed it though.

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

I have been scammed on ebay once, now I am very careful :glugglug
