I've had to message the seller and say "WTF? - not accepting this" Then if they respond they give me some lame excuse, blame the post office then end up refunding me the money. How weird is that? --- End quote --- I had it happen last summer when I bought a M350 MiniBox PC case I was using to build a Plex server. It sold for I think $25 shipped, then arrived with $10 postage due. I left it at the PO and contacted the seller who told me it was on me. I had to explain that he could either send me the money to cover the shipping, or I could refuse the pkg. which means it would come back to him, he would lose his initial shipping charge and be forced to refund me thru eBay. It took some convincing, but he finally paid up. |

Some people just guess the weights and end up guessing low and getting caught on it sometimes. --- Quote from: nitrogen_widget on March 11, 2017, 01:42:21 pm --- --- Quote from: pbj on March 11, 2017, 12:44:29 pm ---How many times has that actually happened to you? --- End quote --- 3 so far. Twice last month and just this week. first for an arduino second for some spa oxidizer and this last one is for a roll of resistors. we are talking < $1.50 each time but might as well just pay a few bucks more and do it through amazon. --- End quote --- |

In fact now I think of it, I blame the internet entirely for encouraging middle aged men towards increasingly esoteric and bonkers hobbies. Lastly, in answer to the OP's original question: I'd forget about it. Like the man said, it's $13. And you can't change the world. |

some of the ebay guys deserve whats coming to them bought hdmi cable. his sales page says 2 hdmi cable and still decides to send me 1. I ask about it and get no reply. I dont want to leave a negative over a dollar but they should really get their priorities straight. I ran ebay business before and I always listed things correctly. had got anything broken then I replaced it too. other day bought 2 usb snes pad and one didnt work..I ask the seller and get no reply at all :banghead: |
