Hum, no buyer feed back at all.

I suspect that he needs shipping to make up the approx. $38 US or so he’s loosing on the price of the cars.

I tried to figure what it would cost to sell a couple of ZipZap’s on eBay for profet:
(2 x SE = $50) x 1.083 for Sales Tax = $54.15 + $28.00 Shipping (9.5oz x 2 + packaging = 2.5lb max on a bad with 3 -5 Day Global Express Mail delivery)+ $3.00 (max packaging) + $2.00 (gas to Rat Shack and Post Office) = $87.15 + $20.00 prophet, or why go to all the hassle in the first place, totals: $107.15 plus eBay and PayPal’s cut, I think eBay includes shipping in the final value fee, ether way their harsh, so lets say an even $120.00 US which is much more than I thought it would be, and surprisingly close to Bozo’s apparent bottom line.

What you need is someone in CA close to ship to who will forward at cost, so he will have to eat the loss or at least any prophet he is trying to make off the shipping and “cough-cough” handling.

DAMN lmao this guy is either a rich fuck, or just a dumbfuck to think that is a reasonable cost! I can't see the auction but if you ever need someone from Canada to ship to you, you can ask me i'll do it for you.

the only reason i bid on these was i just wanted 1 for spares and 1 to convert to an iwavered one. the electronics will be junked so it wasn't important to get the latest version. and you gotta admit, $12 for 2 se's, new in box is a bargain.
if i lucked out on the bay i planned on asking a pimp to go shopping for me for sure. i've done it in the past and paid perfectly reasonable prices. and i've always got extras too!

so this fucking humanitarian has managed to do me a favour:

So what are you going to do now? Just tell ebay and forget about him? lol, did you ask about the shipping before or after you won the Se's?

betty.k · Post by **betty.k** » Sun May 15, 2005 2:22 am

i'll admit i never bothered asking about the shipping before bidding. but i've never done that before. guess i've just been lucky til now. so that was my mistake right there, i (and i hope y'all) learnt an important ebay lesson.

but i've never heard of overcharging like this before. if this guy really is dumb enough to not know how bad it is then he'd be too dumb to use a computer.

so after listening to opinions i figure the most i'll give him is like $3 to cover the ebay listing fee. i think that's very generous too. it's about $3 more than this cocksucking cowboy deserves!

I had a similar situation like that.

I bid on something and won it. Then realized the seller didn't take PayPal. I won't pay any other way.

So I emailed the seller and he got really pissed. However did take the offer of me paying for the ad. I was happy.

I did get neutral feedback because of this.

I just won a bid and paid thru PayPal and dude didn't accept CC PayPal.
I told him that;s the only way I roll.
He never mentioned it in his ad and apologized to me for the inconvenience.
Deal was dissolved, no issues.

betty.k · Post by **betty.k** » Tue May 17, 2005 2:37 am

so he says:

Dear bettyk0,

Just wondering what day this week you were planning to make payment on so I can plan my shipping dates accordingly. Please get back to me ASAP.

Thank you,
habib8276

and i gets back asap with:

i apologise for my delayed response.

over the past week i have discussed this matter with no less than 10
canadian residents and we are all unanimous in our beleif that your
shipping charges are the most outrageously expensive we've ever come
across. we also beleive that your exorbitant rates are detrimental to
ebay's good name and as a result i have reported this matter to the
ebay administration.

i am hereby informing you that i will not be carrying out my duties as
a buyer in these 2 auctions. i understand the consequences and am
prepared to take responsibility for my actions.

i am however prepared to reimburse you for the cost of the auction
listings. if you send me your paypal address i will send you the sum
of $4USD which will be more than enough to pay for the 2 listings and
the paypal fees.

i'm sorry this matter could not be resolved amicably.

when you list these items again, please listen to my advice. either
list them as canada only or list the international shipping inthe
auction.

betty.k

man, it was really hard to write that without resorting to honesty!

I just got an email from dude that wouldn't accept PayPal CC asking how do I intend to purchase his item. My response:

Will,

PayPal CC is the only way I purchase from eBay. I picked up a
######### the next day on eBay from a seller that accepted PayPa CC after I got
the email that my payment was refused so I won't need to purchase your item.
I apologize for the confusion but I thought I cleared that up in our last
email conversations.

Again my apologies for the confusion.
