I have just won an item on eBay. The seller contacted me to say her partner lived near by, so I said if he could deliver it, that would be great......She then asked me to pay an even greater amount than I won the item for and the postage combined via paypal! I said I wouldn't do that, but would happily pay the winning price and the postage and she could send it.....She then said no, as she wanted to get more money for the item. I asked her why she didn't just put a high starting bid on and she replied that she was worried it would put people off bidding. I have remained pleasant throughout...But she is still refusing to send the item. It is not really about the money....In actual fact, the item was won for £5.50 and the p&p is listed as £4 and she wants £10, so it is only a matter of 50p, but it is the principle. I don't think it is a fair way to behave, so I'm not budging!
I had a look at her feedback and it seems that she has done this before (I stupidly didn't check before bidding.) I am annoyed for obvious reasons, but also am not sure what I can do. I am not at all bothered about not getting the item I won, but feel that I want to warn others about this seller, but don't know how I'd go about this.
Does anyone have any advice?
