If you paid £6.50 for something that cost £1.06 to post would you query it or leave it?

I would query although they will probably just say you knew postage before purchase

id leave it as you agreed to post & packaging price when you bid.

it really pisses me off but at end of the day postage is clearly stated and unless they state recorded you cant really ecpect it.

Id leave it, you knew the postage cost when you brought it, factor it into the overall price.

You agree to it when you sign up. It might be a standard price they apply to everything regardless of size - maybe they thought it would be more. I wouldn't query it to be honest - it's all part of it tbh.

I would query it definitely. Not sure where you'll get though. What's the seller's feedback like? How many positive?

would get point across in feedback, will only say you knew cost at time of purchase.

Some people use postage as a kind of reserve price, plus I don't think they pay ebay costs on pandp. DH has bought things for 1p, with £15 pandp.

it's called fee avoidance and can be reported to ebay.

I would send a message stating that although you knew the cost prior to bidding you are shocked at the actual difference. say you obviously think they have made an error on this occasion and would they be kind enough to offer some of the p&P as a refund.

if they don't offer any refund then you are quite within your rights to mention this in feedback

i had won an irish dancing dress so i assumed £15 P&P would be right so when i received parcel and just happened by accident to notice it only cost £4.95 i queried it the chap got nasty saying i agreed to it at sell point so i explained that i too assumed as it would be heavy it would cost that much but thought when he came to post and it was cheaper he would do what others had done and put refund in parcel. to be awkward he put £10 irish pounds in post luckily my village post office are lovely and just changed to normal money for me

Bank notes issued in Northern Ireland are sterling so he wasn't necessarily being awkward! The most likely potential problem with Irish currency is due to the massive bank robbery a few years ago when all old banknotes were recalled and new ones reissued.

The notes are not legal tender and don't have to be accepted but it shouldn't be a problem to change in a bank (when I worked in a bank we used to put all Scottish and Irish notes to one side but included in the till balance and they were sent off with our normal cash run)

SueW - yes the problem here is small village they moan about having to take euros let alone irish or scottish notes but i did realise i could use them but shops are funny about this
