Thanks for listening and replying everyone, this forum rocks  |
creeper, Ihad to go back and re-read your post ... I totally agree here. Part of the agreement was how the item was to be shipped because it was clearly stated in the auction. I would be a bit peeved on this as well!
I tell you what, I will give you your money back in exchange for this statue

Handling is a real tangible when it comes to S&H. If I'm going to spend my time packing(including paking materials), and again spend my time driving to the post office, filling out insurance forms, waiting in line to give the postmaster my box, etc., I expect compensation.
That being said, handling charges should be very minimal, maybe $5 additional.
But, I would never charge for Priority shipping and use a cheaper alternative.
More and more sellers are offering items for 99 cents, with ridiculouly high shipping. No big deal. Just read the terms and make your choice.

what he said. If the shipping costs are clearly stated and you got a great deal on a statue and it arrived in a timely manner, why are you complaining?
If the shipping bothers you, don't bid. It's a simple as that.
There are alot of costs that figure into shipping an item. A box, tape, labels, fuel to the post office, the time it takes to pack it, etc., etc.
If you are happy with the item and you knew the cost of shipping when you agreed to buy it, you are out of line for not giving the seller feedback. I have to deal with customers who don't leave feedback after I've busted my ass to get them their product in a very timely manner. As a rule, my buyers have their item shipped to them NLT 24 hours after receipt of payment. I rarely go over for shipping and if I estimate high, I'll reimburse the buyer, but I am under no obligation to do so.
It's wrong that you don't leave feedback. When I bid on and subsequently win an item on eBay, I usually pay immediately after the auction ends. I never understood why I didn't get feedback right away for my prompt payment, until I started to sell.
If I'm not contacted about a perceived or real problem that my customer's have, how do I know that I might have to resolve that problem?
In all of the cases of non feedback buyers, none have contacted me to tell me that they had an issue with my products or my service.
Sorry folks, that's rude and discourteous.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

The shipping isn't usually too bad on eBay, but the handling will bite you in the a$$. I live about 8 miles from a post office. There are many times that I underestimate shipping (if you include my gas @3.00 a gallon. There are other times I make a couple of bucks. But never more than $2.00. It comes down to a guessing game for me. But I have sold enough on eBay to get really close.

I agree and think it appropriate to charge something for handling if kept reasonable. I think it comes down to how an auction was represented. If everything is laid out up front and the seller does what they say then it's cooll with me. Advertising a shipping method and shipping via a cheaper method is uncool. My philosophy is "if you're not sure ... ask ... and if they don't answer then don't bid"

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

By Any Chance Was The Seller In The Same State As You? Sometimes A Buyer Is Close Enough That The Parcel Post Time Is The Same As The Priority Time To Arrive, And I Would Pick The Same Time Cheaper Rate. Now This Is A Once In A While Thing, If He Was Out Of State I Agree Is Was Shady To Do That To You.
