Do not buy from this ebay auction!!

I bought 2 of them figuring, hey if the stuff is fake, then its only 2 cents. Well the guy doesnt put shipping charges in the auction, and he charges $2 for the first tube, and $1 per additional tube!!!! I paid $3 shipping for something that you could put in a $.34 envelope!! You all have been warned, so learn from my mistake.
 
Actually its a horrible price. Read the description. It is a minitube about the size of a match head. Its good for a few AMD processors. Not even close to the size of a normal 3g tube.

toshiba3020, I'm not saying that it wasnt one of the dumbest mistakes I have ever made. I am just trying to warn everyone else of it so they dont do the same thing.
 
Thanks for the warning, but Theres no hidden charges. It says this in the auction:

Item price $0.01

U.S. Shipping and handling $2.00
Additional shipping per item $1.00
Shipping insurance per item (not available) --
Sales tax (none)
----------------------------
But that is over priced for a small amount of ac.
 
Luden, do not be fooled. The only reason that it says the shipping prices is because the auction is over. When the auction was still going, those shipping prices were not there. Otherwise I wouldnt have bid.

I believe he recieved the AS3 but is not happy with the shipping charges. 🙂

I really doubt that this $3 is the dumbest mistake you ever made (no offence)... Its not like you got scammed $15-20... Honestly, Its pocket change and thats how all ebay small ticket items make their money, on shipping...
 
It probably cost close to $1 in auction costs. Complain to ebay that the shipping charges aren't reasonable. That is one of their terms of service. With that said, $2 to ship anything, no matter how small is reasonable if you take into acount handling, packaging, and postage. I wouldn't ship an empty envolope for $2 if I had to stock stamps, envelopes, toothpicks, plastic bags, foam, and drive to drop it off. I'm sorry you feel ripped, but I dont' see where the foul is? If you didn't know shipping terms, you should have asked. Be happy he didn't charge twice the amount.

With that said, thanks for the heads up. I'm sure others would and will follow you.
 
Like I said, I am not complaining that the guy overcharges for shipping, because that is completely my fault.

So I take it you are saying that the stuff is REAL AS3. Becuase I would hate to pay $3 for fake stuff!!!
