IDBillzFan Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Pretty simple concept - free market - don't like the overall cost of a product, don't bid. No one's holding a gun to your head to place a bid on an item which clearly states the overall shipping charge. If enough don't purchase your auctions, they'll get the message. If you do bid, then don't B word afterwards.413162[/snapback] Can't argue with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assquatch Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Can't argue with that. 413201[/snapback] I respectfully disagree. Its not the $5 that people are complaining about, its the fact that they weren't sent via some expidited service for the $5. Without having seen a link to the auction, I don't know if it said somewhere that they would be sent first class, but if not I think #89 had every right to expect priority service when she paid $5 shipping for a couple pieces of paper.

If it said 1st class and $5, please don't B word and moan. If it said expedited and then were sent 1st class, then that calls for negative feedback imho. Usually on time sensitive items the mode is made very clear upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what this guy did to get those tickets. Maybe he drove to a ticket office that was 30 miles away, costing gas money. Maybe he lives in a town where the nearest post office is that far away, and he didn't have any stamps. Maybe he waited in line for the ticket, and wanted compensation for that. MAYBE he just wanted to make an extra $4.63. Whatever the reason, if you DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T BID!! (not bitching at you, #89, but i do alot of shopping, and selling on eBay, and shipping and handling is all part of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#89 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Can we drop this now? The point wasn't as much the shipping charges because I saw he was charging $5. It was that they were tickets for a game that were not received for THAT GAME. I think the charges would have been more if he drove to the ticket office because he was in CA. He had over 2,000 positive feedbacks and sells lots of tickets. That's why I bid on them. Games over. Bills won. All's well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
