Postage refund

I've had an email today from a buyer I've recently sold an item to. She asked if the item had shrunk as it looks small and complained that the postage she had paid was too much.

Before I posted the item I checked how much postage other sellers were charging and took an average from this. I've lost out before from asking too little for postage so didn't want to do so again but also wouldn't buy something myself if the postage was too much so asked for an amount that was fair iykwim.

Anyway £4.00 was charged and postage itself was only £2.20 as i was able to make the package smaller than i thought. She has asked me to refund the difference saying that slshe would do the same. I've said no, she was happy to pay the postage at the time so why complain now. Is she being cheeky or is it me in the wrong here?

leave the negs over a week apart then they will count as 3 - leave on the same day they will only count as 1

So thought I'd update!!

Just had email back to say costs are reasonable since it costs her 1.60 to park at the post office and she has to cover her paypal fees

The thing that annoyed me is looking back she only charges 2.00 for 1 item so she has really ripped me off. I look for people who don't overcharge on postage!!
I have left my first ever neg with the other to follow in 1 week

Thanks for that fergoose

She is ridiculous -she is not meant to cover her parking and paypal fees in with the P&P - that is not allowed. Make sure you mention fee avoidance and greed in your next neg :)

Good for you leaving first neg - wait 8 days until the next one just to be sure is my advice. And make sure you leave low stars if you want them to count -leaving them blank doesn't count against the seller :)

in this case due low stars for co,mmunication and P&P charges ok maybe due 4 staras for sending propmpt ly and being as described it would be unfair to leave 1 star for goods as described when you are very reasoanbly annoyed over postage so i would negative for bad communivcationas you offered her the chance to put right
