Another shipping drama

[Alistair]

Some clown on eBay wants US$21 to ship 13 cards from Adelaide to Melbourne. If I were selling them, I could do it for no more than $5. The items were won opportunistically (ie. I saw them as they were about to close), therefore, I did not have time to fire off a request for decent combined shipping rate (but it should be F*CKING COMMON SENSE AND DECENCY!) You shouldn't have to REQUEST a fair shipping amount.

The thing is, I won a fair few GU and auto cards for their starting bid of $0.01, so he's obviously pissed that nobody else bid and is ripping me off on shipping. I KNOW I had no time to ask, but it should be f*cking basic!!!

I won 13 cards in total including SIX for a total of $0.36 ALL auto and/or GU.

That is pretty silly; what was his shipping price for the one auction?

Might wanna him this page... http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/policies/listing-shipping.html might help to negotiate a better price.

 

[Alistair]

Shipping price per auction was $3.50.

Judging from his response to my complaint, he knows full well that he is being an asshole. He is technically correct, but that doesn't stop him from being a c*nt. I really don't believe the nerve of some people. US$21 DOLLARS FROM ADELAIDE?!?!?!?!

"i never stated anywhere, that i would make p/h cheaper for multiple purchases, yet i have done so for you. to less than 50% of what i was asking for. instead of $3.50 per card, which i was asking for on each listing. you obviously would of read the listings, and agreed to the contract which stated $3.50 per card. what made you think this was going to change?"

Who is the seller??? Also , tell them you want them posted in indivdual envelopes (i am sure it was never mentioned that they would be bulked together) with seperate postage.

I am to the point where I will be happy to cop a negative in retaliation for leaving a negative comment for each card I won.

i did sent of a question about his auctions while they where active.his response was:
$3.50 for the first card and then half price for every other card won.so that is why i did not bid on his cards.
so i don't like your chances of making him change his mind on his shipping cost.because if you did ask him how much you would of got the same response i did.
that is why i won't bid on cards even if they are cheap without asking about combined shipping.because normally if they are cheap there is usually a reason why.and in this case it was because of his shipping cost.
anyway good luck with trying to change his mind

I doubt I will change his mind. I just want to let him know that he is an asshole!

13 negs should do it it will hurt him (12 feedback) more than a negative would hurt me (300 or so)
