Ebay Query...

[pastafreak]

Was I charged for p&p?
I had an order update for a buy-it-now item. Item was £8,plus £4.95p&p... Item total is stated as £8.00. Where's the p&p?

don't tell 'em Pasta

[grasscarp]

Have you completed transaction?

[pastafreak]

My lips are sealed...as long as it doesn't bite me in the bum at some later date....like getting charged twice ;-)

[wolf63]

I used to sell stuff and any postage mistake that I made I accepted as being my own stupidity. A couple of times I seriously overestimated the postage and send a refund with their parcel.

I hope you like your purchase

Don't query it pasta, it's the sellers cock up not yours.

Normally the P&P charge slots in automatically on the PayPal invoice (assuming you paid that way) - so how much did you actually pay? If £8, then it's their error, I'd keep schtum about it and see if they mention it.

I would email them and let them know otherwise it will gnaw at your conscience. They will probably say forget it and thanks for being so honest. :o) most people that I have dealt with on Ebay have been very nice and honest.

Pasta, out of curiosity I have just looked at one of my recent purchases where I paid postage - the "Order details" tab is just for the item, not the P&P. Check back to your method of payment (was it through your PayPal account?) then you can verify what you actually paid.

It's a seller's nightmare dealing with postage on Ebay

I'm selling a lot of brewery plant at the moment. I'm forced to offer a postage option! Where do you stick the stamp on a 7 ton boiler?

Likewise, now PayPal and Ebay are in the same stable, I have to offer a PayPal payment option...

[jomifl]

Venator, can you not do pickup only anymore?

[boxtops]

You can still offer collect only.

Jomifil not everyone on eBay is honest. Had some crazy buyers this year (win and then don't pay) and sellers who try to sell me fake goods.
Also had negative left by someone who lied about their purchase. Luckily eBay removed it on appeal! Not a great year after many years almost without incident.
