So I had bought two cards on eBay this afternoon. I will post the links:


http://www.ebay.com/itm/321429960266?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1439.l2649
Note the $80 shipping


http://www.ebay.com/itm/321429980183?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1439.l2649
Note the $120 shipping




Now I will admit that I did notice the shipping but figured that it had to be an error. Plus the seller lives in Waterloo and I live in Kitchener. The two cities are connected as one city. If you are from souther Ontario you would understand.


Anyways. I won the two cards and sent the seller this message:


Hey there I have just bought the Tavares and Jurco from you. I live in Kitchener. Can you please send me an invoice with free shipping and I will swing by tomorrow and pick it up from you. I can pay you right now for it and you can even just leave it in your mailbox. I would just need your address.


Thanks,
Jeff




I get this reply:


not a chance of free shipping, I have combined other costs associated to shipping and they are included in the price stated.




So I just sent him this reply:


I am just saying that I will pick it up from you. You do not need to pay to ship it to me.


I got a reply of:

I understand but my costs are in those shipping amounts. if you don't want to pay for them I can cancel. sorry for the inconvenience.




I reply back as:


Why do you charge those really high shipping prices? That has to be a typo. No one else charges close to those prices. What are your other costs associated to shipping that you mentioned in you last message to me?


Reply of:


perhaps you should have asked these questions prior to bidding. you are now responsible for payment, I hate when people decide to back out after when they don't have the time to even look at the description before. either pay or don't, I'm not going to continue to answer these questions




To which I reply:


I just have one last question. If you can explain the breakdown of your shipping charges I will happily pay you your full shipping prices. Thanks.










The seller was messaging me back right away every time. After this message he has not replied back. Needless to say that I am not going to pay $200 for shipping. No one in their right mind would. I will admit that I did notice the shipping rates but figured that they had to be wrong. If it was $10 or so then maybe a seller is just trying to make a profit off of shipping but not charging $80 and $120.

I believe you are allowed to report this ebayer due to the excessive shipping charges. I know ebay used to not get a cut of the shipping and handling, but have since changed that as sellers used to jack up the shipping costs to pay less of an ebay fee. Ebay has gone and changed that and now takes a fee from the total price. To me, he is just being shady and wants to try and get that extra buck from someone that doesnt read his full listing.

IMO, report him, tell him you are reporting him, and ebay will settle it

Why wouldn't you have emailed him first before bidding? The seller did nothing wrong here, you are the one that caused the issue by assuming. You have now wasted this seller's time.

Sorry but you are wrong. The seller is not allowed to charge excessive shipping. Sure, he could have emailed the seller, but this is all on the seller. Im sure he knows this is a way to jack up his auctions.

If he is this adamant about his high shipping costs, tell him you better see $80 and $120 stamps on the envelope

[habscards]

Why aren't you reporting this guy? Get an eBay manager and tell them that you live 3 miles away like you do and that the shipping is about $2.05 in a bubble envelope..

They will cancel the auction for you, or tell the seller to get a life.

I have reported it.

[hang time]

Is it even possibly to spend that much on shipping 2 cards? Are they begin delivered by helicopter? And why is one $80 and the other $120? What's the difference. Seller = ™™™™.

[habscards]

The seller has now tried to cancel my purchases saying:



Reason for cancel transaction request: The seller says that both of you disagreed over the terms of the transaction.


i am not sure what to do. I do not want to be stuck paying those outrageous shipping prices but at the same time I want the cards for the prices that I won them at.

What am I best off to do? Tomorrow should I just call eBay and talk directly to someone there?

[cygnusx1]

Honestly, you are best off just confirming the cancel transaction case. Much as you want the cards at those prices, I don't think ebay will side with you.

I would forget about it and move on.

good luck on that. I recently called ebay about a seller selling me two pucks. He couldnt figure out combined shipping and admitted it to me was the reason for putting them back up for sale. When i called ebay after he informed me of that they said theres nothing i could do since I didnt pay for the item he didnt have anymore since he sold one of them.
