Yesterday I won an auction for an item, the seller lived in my town to I sent them a message and asked if I could collect, they said yes and gave me their address.
I have just be around to collect the item and when I handed them the £4.30 which I won the item for the woman said "where's the rest?"
I said that's all of the money, I won the auction for £4.30 (well £4.27 actually)
She then said "yes but there is also the £7 p&p charge"
I said, yes but you aren't posting it so you don't have and postage charges.
And she said "that's not all that p&p is for"
I asked her what she wanted p&p charges for and the item is not packaged up and I am collecting it from her house at a time convinient to her.
But she just said, "it's part of the auction, I want the p&p charges too"
I told her I didn't have any more cash on me and she told me to come back later.
Surely you only pay postage if an item is being posted.
Has anyone come across this before?
