I feel a bit like I've been diddled - can you reassure me or incite me to do something about it?

I bought three gameboy games from an ebay seller. It wasn't till I went to pay for them that I saw that he had a note on his site saying that he will not bundle items together in order to save postage.

So I paid over a quid for each one and was expecting them all to come separately.

They arrived this morning, in the same envelope and he had paid £1.10 postage. I paid him £4.60 postage all together.

Now, I have absolutely no problem with people making a bit on postage, and it's only just over a fiver more than he actually paid, but my problem is that he said he WOULDN'T put them all together which is why I had to pay three lots of postage, then he DID put them together.

Am I right to feel a bit "done" and if so, should I do something about it, especially as it's only a fiver?

now I'm confused...... a seller can't change the listing once it's ended

GunpowderTreasonAndSquonk · 04/11/2007 12:05

oh, sorry, 6LM - I looked at the ones he is selling NOW.

I couldn't find the wording on the original listing so I looked at "other items this seller is selling" and that's where I saw the new wording.

Gunpowder, all the more reason to contact the seller and see if he'll give you a refund!

You knew the postage and you paid, if you don't like the charges don't bid. Easy. I would have had a discount for mulitiple purchases but you can't expect everyone to do so and I don't think you are really entitled to a partial refund. You can ask but the seller knew fine well in the first place he was going to make a small fortune from the postage so I doubt he is going to give you it back, just learn from it and be careful next time.
I really hate people who use the 'stamp was only and I paid ' Sorry but I really do, it's so common the board but really you can't moan! Better luck with ebay next time, always ask about discount before you bid.
