[TranceNation]

I'd say calm down, there are other things in life to get upset about.

sheesh, do you have something personal against NTA or do you just like to annoy someone who is already angry. what you say is true but has no relevance to the situation NTA. do you have a reading impediment?

$20 is a little much for shipping. So how much did it actually cost you to ship?

You set the price, thats what it will be. If its $20, then $10 shipping and $10 packaging and handling.

again, not relevant to the situation on EBAY. in the auction he clearly stated terms of $20.00 for S&H. the guy bid on the item and won, therefore he is required BY ebay to pay the terms as stated.

I allocate it towards the (Handling) portion of my S/H...so technically it's not paypal...I don't come out and state it as paypal, it just says "Bidder agrees to S/H of $20"

People like you on ebay make me sick. 20 fvcking dollars for S/H for a hd??? Were do you live...Mars or something?

( iknow it's a little much, but it also covers my paypal)...

And that is against the rules.


But he is the idiot who bid on it, so he agrees to pay the 20.00 shipping charge.

Jeesh, what is your problem, If you don't like his terms DON'T BID.

What he did is NOT AGAINST THE RULES. It is clearly stated as S&H. many people do this.

Once again IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE TERMS DON'T BID. you can't bid and then complain about the terms.

All Egay sellers should have their limbs removed so they can't sell stuff. I swear, I goning to report this seller: samvel111, to the FBI soon if he dosen't get his @ss over to LA and ship my item. I'm sorry eta but it's all about communication. If you don't talk to the seller you're screwed.

You have every right to be upset. He agreed to the shipping ahead of time and could have contacted you before the auction ended if he wanted to negotiate it. It's like buying a used car and you were asked if wanted to test drive and you declined. Come back saying there is problems, too late now.

I've always wanted to leave negative feedback when I'm charged $7 for shipping and the postage says $1.33 but I'm not a pr*ck...

I sure hope not. You have to figure the box, the wrap, the time to go wait at the fricking post office, etc. As long as it is less than $10 for a small item, it's probably fair.

TextJeesh, what is your problem, If you don't like his terms DON'T BID.

I most certainly would NOT bid on anything that has 20 dollars shipping and handling that would only cost 5.50 to mail with USPS.

What he did is NOT AGAINST THE RULES. It is clearly stated as S&H. many people do this.

YES IT IS AGAINST THE RULES. He admitted in his post that he charges high S/H to help cover Paypal costs.
That is dishonest.

That is dishonest.

being dishonest is different from being against the rules. As long as it is not stated on the Ebay as TO COVER PAYPAL, it is not agains paypals rules. Paypal will NEVER prosecute this guy or even a company that chose to cover paypal costs in the S&H BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T JUST APPLY TO PAYPAL. Therefore IT ISN'T AGAINST THE RULES.

also, IT ISN'T DISHONEST, he clearly stated in the Ebay ad that it was $20.00 for S&H. guess what, that H covers the difference between his actual cost of postage.

you morons that think there is something wrong or dishonest about charging more than just the cost of actual shipping are just that MORONS.

it's COST of doing business and it was stated UP FRONT.

Just how exactly is that DISHONEST?

Does it matter what he admitted? No. He charges 20 dollars for shipping in handeling, thats that. Is it dishonest? NO, wake up. He STATED in his auction that it was 20 dollars fo shipping and handeling, that is being 100% straightforward. That meant he was going to charge 20 dollars for shipping and handeling. You stated that you wouldnt waste your time bidding on it, so dont, this guy did, and he should have been stuck with it.


Just respond to his negative saying whats up

 

[BD2003]

Its not dishonest per se, but youre full of it if you think you can justify charging 20 shipping for a hard drive.

He was the fool who bought it, but regardless, I'm not surprised you got a negative too.

 

[LeeTJ]

i can't believe soo many of you are harping on the S&H cost. the bidder clearly saw that figure and must have, should have bid accordingly. in other words put maximum bid at a cost that assumes the $20.00 S&H. to complain about it afterwords is MORE DISHONEST, because now he is trying to renege on his CONTRACT. so all of you w/ the dishonesty crap STFU.

thanks for all your input, it took a lot of steam off...but listening to some of the things people are saying on here doesn't exactly calm me down. People

FACT:
1) Terms and Conditions: "Bidder agrees to pay $20 for USPS Priority 2-3 Day S/H"
2) AFTER auction, bidders bitch and moans about shipping
3) I offered to let him get off the hook and not follow through with the buying process (while eating the ebay costs ($8)
4) He finally accepted shipping costs
5) Winner received item in 2 days after winning
6) Leaves negative feedback for shipping was too high

Try and justify how this is my fault?

no one can. your in the right. we just have moronic self righteous people on this board that like to spew just to smell their own putrid breath.

If you send it properly packed with an approved harddrive container and foam, then the buyer had no reason to leave negative feedback. He did agree to pay $20 shipping and handling...
However, if you just stuffed the harddrive in a tyvek priority envelope and charged the guy $20 s/h and the shipping is $10...then I would say he had a right to leave negative feedback..

 

[XCLAN]

i have 100+ positives...
and 1 negative...
the negative was unjustifiable and it really pissed me off but ebay said they cant do anything about it.

 

[Shaftatplanetquake]

Dude. nothing you can do about it.. short of going to his house and beating the sh!t out of him.

"Who wants to kick some ass! We do. We do!"

 

[optoman]

You are in the right and he was wrong to leave you negative feedback. It pisses me off when people don't read all the terms that are set with the auction and they get pissed when you point it out to them.

$20 is not a lot for shipping and handling. Handling includes packing the item, the supplies and the driving to the place you are going to mail it from. You can not put a price on handling and it can easily cost me $15 just in postage to mail something across the country. I have tried to put shipping will be added at the end of the auction. It always backfires because people always want the cheapest way to mail things and that provides no protection like insurance and tracking. That is a no-no and will only burn the seller in the long run.

If you don't like it, then don't bid on it. Idiots.

 

[styrafoam]

I would just add him to your My Ebay favorites list and watch for him to sell something. Get a different account(your grandpa or somthing) and message him with goofy annoying questions, then buy it and do the same to him. It would be even better if you could somehow see what he was bidding on and bid it up by a few dollars every time he is winning. I will say that I HATE being gouged on shipping and usually dont bid when the seller has some blatantly high amount, but what he did was lame knowing full well what the shipping charges were and trying to negotiate. He's a weasel.

you got your money -

move on

not worth worrying about
