I was watching a few listings and emailed the seller to ask if they would be willing to combine and discount postage if I were to buy more than one item.
The postage on each item was £3.00 each (baby clothing) so you can obviously post multiple items for a lot less.
They replied and told me yes they would and that they would weigh the products that I won and charge me according to the weight of the parcel.
Being happy with this I bid on the 3 items I was interested in and won them all, then seeing they had some more items available that were ending soon I bid on and bought 4 more items thinking I may as well as they can package all together and the items were going cheap.
The total postage cost came to £21 for 7 items of baby clothing. I emailed the seller saying I had bought all I wanted now and could they reduce the postage as agreed, expecting it to be around £5-7 roughly.
The seller emailed back and said no they had changed there mind, as some of them items only ended for 99p and they wanted more than this they were now unwilling to combine the postage as they would be losing out!
I would not have bid on any of these items (except maybe one) if the seller had not agreed to combine the postage costs and I am certainly not happy to pay £21 for 7 very light items to be posted to me.
What can I do?
I know sellers don't HAVE to combine postage but I asked before bidding and they said yes.
Now i'm worried about getting 7 non-paying bidder cases open.
