cheeky or just me?

hey

I bought a bundle of baby clothes on ebay. Postage was £12 but they lived less than 5 miles from my house. I emailed them a few days before end to see if i could pick up the bundle. They said yes no problem as long as after 5pm, or at weekend.

In the end i won the bundle for 99p and then recieved an email saying that i couldnt pick up anymore because they didnt want any stranger at their house. Said their oh replied first time by mistake.

So i paid the 12 postage and packaging.. plus 99p.

A man just dropped it off in the car at my house..
now is it just me or is that a bit cheeky?? I could have walked to their house for it! They said that i could pick up, changed their mind fair enough! But i expected it to be posted, like royam mail posted.
They also said they were only free after five.. but THIS MUCH after five is taking the pee a bit i think.

very cheeky. email them saying you are upset that they have effectively charged you £12 for petrol and if you get no joy contact ebay.

It all smells smokey and damp too. :|

return it all and ask for a full refund.

What a cheek....I would be

You can leave neg feedback (they can't).

I would also complain to e-bay and paypal.

yes, very cheeky.

I've just sent an email the now.

LittleMissNorty - I agree with your sentiment, but the seller knows where hollyandnoah lives and is very nearby. Personally, I would not do anything, even though they have behaved badly.

when it said £12 postage did it say royal mail parcel or seller's standard rate? if it said royal mail you can complain but if not i don't know if you will be able to.

holly, we are replying on both threads

I would check their returns policy for sure. horrible when clothes especially for children arrive like that. I know you just wash them, but still not nice. i replied on thread in 'for free' too!! lol

£12 is a bit extreme for petrol for a trip up the road imo, VERY cheeky n i would complain about it & expect at least the £12 you paid for postage to be refunded since they didn't actually 'post' them

Thieving swines! What is wrong with some people? £12 postage seems rather a lot anyway - was it an incredibly huge bundle of clothes? I bet that is why they had no bids other than yours.

Yeh it probably was why! but i only bidded cause they said i could pick it up.

ahh what is happening to ebay btw!?

Last week i bought a filthy broken buggy and seller says it was perfect and wont refund :| Ebay are dealing with it but i'm not gonna hold my breath!

it will save me a fortune i spose lol!

holly what size are you buying? you could have had my next bundle for £12 xx

hey! 9 - 12 month xx

holly buy from here ebay a right rip off lately!

thats a shame the last one i've sorted out and put into a 'next only' bundle is 6-9m.

are you wanting boys or girls stuff?

nicola may I see your bundle please?

Lilyloo, i have been reciently, but i only just found this place in...june i think! Have done a fair amount of buying and selling though.

nappyaddict, i have a boy

ooh yes theres a thread on the for sale boards, but I can email individual pics or upload to my pictrail when I make room on there!! my email is nicolamardell @ hotmail.com if you can email me..thanks!

that's a shame. i've just sold a bundle of 9-12 months today and had to let it go for less than i wanted. people just seem to want everything for nothing at the minute

can i just say if you buy off NA make sure you get the goods first!!!

Just after reading some stuff about her and thewiltedrose and their money making threads i'd just thought i'd warn you.

xxx

am going to let the money making comment go

tis true is it not?
