Yikes, I haven't used ebay much but can't you report sellers for this kind of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroogur Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I don't think you can. The seller is simply trying to make up his money on the other end of the deal i see that alot on the 'Bay. Sadly many people get sucked in by that kind of underhanded nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the seller still pays. I really love Ebay's model You make it sound like it's a bad thing. This seller tried to pull a fast one on a potential buyer. It didn't work, and now he's stuck with the bill for the listing. Had he been reasonable with the shipping he probably would have gotten bids, sold his items and made money. Instead he tried being a scumbag, and got stuck paying the check. Pretty perfect if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually get attacked by the Atari brokers here who defend scutzbuckets like this guy. I only jump on these topics half as much....I've become allergic to trolls.

lemoncurry Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 It said only $45 to ship to Wisconsin! Dang, shoulda bid! eBay ought to disclose how much "handling" the seller is padding the shipping with in the calculator. Although I suppose then these sellers wouldn't use the calculator at all and they'd all switch to "flat" rates with just as much if not more padding...

video game addict Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Flat rates are now suppose to include a $4 rate for video game media. Not sure how you are suppose to mail boxed games if you get over the 13oz limit, maybe media mail and let the buyer deal with the problems from USPS.

missioncontrol Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I got a cheaper shipping rate: $40.70 - 1 to 6 business days $107.03 - Guaranteed in 1-3 days (prices to NC) looks like i need 8 games out of that and there may be a label variant or 2 I don't have, and the 2 bookshelf cases would be nice to have, but I don't think it's worth $50.69 to me right now....
