Am I being snookered? Login/Join

Bid on an ebay item. It was one dollar. Shipping listed at 3.00. No one else bid so I won. Shouldn't I be on the hook for 4.00? Got notified I won so I paid via PP. Just got a message from the seller that shipping was 4.50 and that I need to pay the difference. Is that true? It's only a 1.50, but am I being snookered?

If the auction stated it was 3.00 shipping, yes you need to point that out and stand your ground. It all depends on what it is - is it a Rolex or a doily? If it's a Rolex, I'd just overlook the being snookered part.

It's more of a doily. I could live without it. So I can't get dinged if I don't send more than the 4.00?

See what he does? If it all processed through the checkout I'm not sure what he can do.

Dispute it.

I’d ouble check the terms of the shipping, but it’s a fair bet that you’re only on the hook for 3 bucks. If the guy gives you a hard time, file a dispute.

Looks like the seller is a little old lady. I'm not going to ding her. I'm sending the extra with friendly advice that others might not be so willing.

You did the nice thing paying her actual shipping but you could have held her to the original terms of the listing. Smile



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Nah, its the internet. The men are men, the women are men, and the kids are FBI agents.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."
