Urgent!! Need help with weight for shipping cost.

Prepare for bad feedback hell. Don't **** with the seller on eBay.

I personally think you are a fool for buying something on ebay from the US - you are completely unprotected.. the Buyer Protection (and Seller protection) are null and void overseas. Likewise, I don't sell to anyone outside the UK.

if he doesnt budge on the shipping then he can stick up his arse tbh.

Im not bothered about neg feedback tbh, every transaction cannot go smoothly.

If he wants to leave neg instead of relisting it then it shows how much of a fanny the guy is imo.

he's obviously trying to make up the extra $ he wanted for the item, just make sure that he didnt state the shipping cost on the auction, if he stated that it would be $95 before you bid then you probably don't have a leg to stand on.

[Mayhem]

Any shipping info would have probably have been US only. How much room would it take to quote for everywhere in the world?

Which is why I never quote shipping costs in my auctions, I tell people to ask me what it will be if they want to know before bidding...

[Robster]

he didnt quote any shipping costs in the auction, he just said contact seller after auction.

G-Funk I agree, he is just rtying to make up the loss he has made on the auction

EDIT: changed bowser to G-funk, got them mixed up for some reason. doh!!
avatar maybe?

Just read his reply to my email. He apoligised for the wieght as he had just estimated the wieght.

He sent me a new price with UPS again for 1.5 lbs and guess what it was a whole $20 cheaper, UPS is such a blooming rip off.

I replied to his email with the link for EMS at $28 for 3-5 days delivery(cheers super monkey balls) and asked him to use that instead.

I'll wait to hear from him and hopefully he will agree to EMS .

[g-funk]

Do they use EMS in the states though?

[Robster]

aye that link above is for the USPS(US postal service) - if you click new calc then home it takes you to the home page of USPS.

[Robster]

Ha!!!

Victory is mine. I have just rec'd an email from ebay for the auction with the shipping at $28.75 for ems. Edit: I jumped the gun, he did reply saying that he didnt realsie how expensive UPS was, I'll give himt eh benefit of the doubt but IM sure the more cynical of you will not



EDIT: thanks for all your help guys, its appreciated

Bargain of the century is I dont say so myself

**gloat over**
