Ebay question- combined shipping

I'd call Ebay. If he has a stated shipping policy, and he hasn't changed it, then it's his responsibility to adhere to it.

Mike,

I don't really understand what you're saying. I've never charged more than $3 for any cards I've sold on this site. Does that mean everyone who bought from me was "taking advantage of me"? Your line of thinking on the combined shipping is odd to me. However, I don't really disagree with giving the guy the benefit of the doubt since tbob has ultimately received a fair shipping charge every time previous. Also, it seems like this should have been expected to some degree.

Luke,

My point on the $3 P&H is that it is extremely FAIR and if someone charges that then so be it but it is evident from my 4500 transactions on Ebay and hundreds of deals before Ebay that to use that service and then all of a sudden have problems with a $135 transaction is not giving the guy the benefit.

Not sure what is confusing. If I'm paying $3 for P&H, then I am happy but deep down I know that typically $3 is not fair to the seller due to: packaging materials, time taken for care of shipping, listing time, research on an item, driving to post office if that's what some do............its a steal.

I applaud you for sticking to that fee but I think you know that its quite frankly a deal.

If tbob had spent $1000 with you over the past year and then even thought of leaving you negative feedback or talking about you on a public board (even though he has admitted not even paying yet!!!) then you might be upset if circumstances prevented you from getting back to him.

If the guy has turned bad and tbob got burned then clearly he has a point but not sure it is there yet. If I was confusing, sorry. I was fired up.

Thanks,

mike

Adam,

Well said and to the point unlike my ranting. Thanks for your service and sorry about my 67 Venezualan joke. Just noticed you collect them! eace, mike

I always enjoy a good Topps Venezuelan joke. The soldier in my profile pic is actually my son, Chris. He's an E-2/Private at Fort Sam Houston.

Adam,

Cool, thanks for the clarification. I hear FT Sam Houston is sometimes as hot as Venezuela!

Congrats on bringing up a fine looking son and Soldier.

peace, mike

Ok, I got it now. I agree with all that.

Should have just not paid for any of the cards until you got a revised invoice, no matter how long it took.

Only thing you would have been out is time. You haven't gotten your cards, but he hasn't gotten your money either.

From looking at the guys feedback and completed sales, it looks like he's put more on his plate then he can handle, and maybe took a break.

If he eventually filed a UPI without revising the invoice, you would have had something to be concerned about, and could have approached it from the defect/neg/dsr standpoint.
