You haven't even asked for a refund and you take the time to type a thesis on what to do about an .85 problem? If this is your biggest problem, you are living a charmed life. I have shipped packages weighed at the post office that arrived postage due for some reason. The buyer informed me of it, but refused the payment I offered. Life is too short, there has to be bigger problems to deal with.

If I was the seller and the buyer let me know I'd Paypal you back the difference + a little extra for your trouble.
I doubt the seller was trying to get one over. Probably guessed at the weight slightly wrong, or one Post Office thought it was ok for him to ship 1st Class Letter and the receiving Post Office decided they wouldn't deliver it for less then 1st Class Parcel. I've even had the Post Office muff up a couple times and declare my perfectly legel 1st Class Parcel package needed to be delivered Priority Mail at it's destination, because they read the rule book incorrectly. If I'm informed, I just apologize for the mix-up and refund the shipping back to the buyer. What are you gonna do? Fight it? |

You are thinking way too much into this. I can almost guarantee you this was not intentional on the seller's part. Likely there was an error in weighing the package or a post-office screw-up. I am sure he would make good on 85 cents if asked, but to me, it's not even worth asking.

The thing is, game theory doesn't apply because the post office isn't a rationale competitor. They will literally send that package all the way back across the country and never get paid. And you end up with a full refund and no card and whole bunch of time wasted.
Pay the money. Get your card. Ask for an 85 cent refund. If you don't get it, give the seller a negative. Anything else doesn't seem to make much sense. |

Id be shocked to find out the seller did that intentionally. I had a substitute PO person who delivered multiple packages postage due...her and I eventually had words and it ceased. In that time every seller gave me a refund that I asked for, but I did have to ask for it. The older I get, the less time I have for indirect and evasive conversations....

I can't imagine asking for a refund for postage due. Seems pretty trivial.
