How does he get 40$ from 5.50$ plus 20$ shipping? Just tell him your not gonna pay it and even if you did the most you would have to pay is 25.50$. Save his e-mails and PM and if he leaves you negative just report him to Ebay.

Did you email him directly or use eBay's Ask Seller A Question? When you use the 2nd option, it may show up on the listing page for all to see. Right now it's your word against his and his listing clearly states $20 for shipping. Don't blame eBay if you emailed seller directly.

if picking up wasnt listed in his auction i dont think he has to allow you to pick it up. although i think thats kind of messed up but if worse comes to worse, pay the shipping and the cost to win the item.. still cheaper than what you can buy it at the store?

Agree that if he posted that S&H was $20 he's not required to allow you for a pick up but if he said that that was ok he should honor his word.

if you ask a seller a question it's up to him if he wants to make it public or not.

P.S. You should only buy from a reputable eBay store not from individuals.

Ahhh...ok! :idea: I always wondered how that worked. Good thing I said "may" :theyareon

If he did agree to allow you to pick it up, I would then tell him you're going to contact ebay and sent them the email showing that he agreed to that. Also threaten to leave negative feedback and if he still doesn't do anything leave negative feedback. Don't be afraid that he'll leave negative feedback to you too, as it will hurt him more as a seller than you as a buyer. If you have a lot of positive feedbacks it wouldn't hurt you at all. You can also leave a response to his negative feedback, showing he was the one at fault. He may even make a deal with you later to remove the negative feedback.

Contact ebay right away and report him. Then start gathering the old e-mails. Most accounts have some way of retaining e-mails that you have read.

There was no reserve price set right?

pssh ebay rocks :type:

 

[richiewwhite]

there was no reserve I have all the emails and all were sent with ask the seller so its through ebay.. even if i paid shipping he wouldnt sell it he wants 40 for it the guy is a dirtbag i first emailed him a week ago to see how much he wanted for it for a quick sale he said 50 I said new they are 32.99 then i asked about avoiding the shipping if i won the auction he said no problem now when i win it for 5.50 he says i need atleast 40

I would never do that in my life I sent an email to ebay about it and they said they would respond in 24-48 hours so we will see I didnt leave the bad feedback until i get an email from them.

if you didnt pay for it already, just leave negitive feed back and contact ebay, ebay wont do anything though,

I had an issue with a merchant that listed a MH light with buy it now. I bought it because it was an awesome deal. I got a refund the next day saying there was a mistake in the listing price. The auction had been up for days before I actually bought it. Complained to ebay and they said there was nothing that could be done. I guess a contract isn't actually a contract if the seller is the one that makes a mistake. Oops, how did I list that for only....... For all those that dislike ebay, it is not the system it is the sellers that you must be aware of. Give the guy negative feedback so others know not to deal with him. I have had plenty of good experiences when buying on ebay.

 

[marrone]

Ebay protects their sellers, so even if you're 100% in the right ebay wouldn't do anything. Just leave negative feedback, I'm sure once you do he'll change his tune.

Always beware of low feedback sellers.
Also, at the end of the day, you aren't really out anything, except a bit of aggrevation.

Leave neg feedback and get on with your life. JMO.

EBAY ROCKS!!! If you are careful....and lucky!
