I won a top on ebay for a fiver on monday, p&p was £1.50. Yesterday the seller emailed me this: "Hello there postage was £3.15 would u be so kind to forward an extra £1.50 to cover otherwise i have received next to nothing for the top. many thanks;+)"
Now, I've sold on ebay before and lost huge amounts of money. I've also mispriced p&p. But, you have to suck it up. Its the risk of pricing low and selling on an auction site. want a set price? set a price. or put it in the paper. I had the £6.50 in my paypal, otherwise I wouldnt have bothered. its a nice top, but nothing special. anyway, I was going to message back:
Hi, I'm sorry you mispriced the p&p, its a pain when that happens. However, I'm not prepared to pay extra for your mistake. Its not only against ebay rules and would mean that I would no longer be covered by them, but I paid the price I wanted to pay and as agreed. If you havent yet sent the top I would be happy to cancel the sale so you can relist at the correct price.
