ebay again problem

That's good to hear, $13.50 shipping would have been highway robbery

Good to hear justice was served, my friend. I was hosed for S&H on an order Sunday night and I was NOT happy about it. I bought 9 cards for a total of just under$21...S&H plus tax plus a mandatory insurance charge that he wouldn't drop (even though my order was LESS than the requirement) brought my final total to over $44. Ludicrous! I message him in good taste about it, and he gave me the typical "it's in my policy" response. I responded back and he refused to make an honest conversation out of it. He knew he was jipping me. Whatever, I took pleasure in seeing his Peter Mueller Hot Prospects /399 RC sell in a live auction for a lowly $18! Sucker.


Still, I was bitter! 20 bucks in cards and then over 20 in charges.... bad taste.

13.50 isn't highway robbery if it's going internationally registered. Granted because he wasn't shipping anything of value I wouldn't register it anyways. But if he requires it to make sure it gets there safely and you agree, 13.50 sounds dead on. Unfortunately it's the only safe way to ship internationally. I'm glad it was all a misunderstanding, because he was just emailing the code.

I'm not real happy about these ebay printed labels that don't have the postage printed on them. Ebay is giving them a way to hide shipping costs. I shipped lotsa stuff for years and never paid over $4.50

The thing is im pretty sure the guy buying the card could care less if the card arived or not he already got the code, so there is no reason to charge shipping, but if he was to charge it a normal non tracked shipping Im sure is what we'd be looking for since the card isnt even needed anyways. Thats the point

It would be like me giving you a coke or pepsi points code online which is all you need for whatever money then trying to say you owe me 13.50 more so i can ship that code to you insured. why would you want it and why would you want to pay for that to be insured

I Understand that, but the OP hadn't heard back from the seller yet, and it ended up that he wasn't charging him for shipping anyways. My point is with a card that has to be shipped, in which case registered shipping may be necessary.

Was the shipping cost listed in the auction? If it was then I think you have to pay it. You agreed to buy the item and pay any shipping fees. If the fees were listed as 13.50 and you chose to bid, then you gotta pay.
