Over charging on shipping and handling to cover sellers fees?

[love2shoppe4me]

Over the past two weeks, oddly from two different sellers, I have been over charged as much as triple the cost for shipping. The last one saying its Canadian Expedited parcel and arriving Registered Letter. When inquiring at the over charging they say its to cover their seller fees. Its their handling costs. ?!? 

They then said, because I went ahead and paid the shipping when purchasing the item, they don't have to reimburse me. Also saying they can charge what they want, nothing I can do about it.

Actually there is a lot I can do. 😉 ....Especially since ebay can see their replies to my queries.

Just curious if anyone else is having this lately?

Don't they realize that if they want to cover the cost of their seller fees, they can just up the price of their item?

ZOMBIE THREAD FROM 2023!

However, for those who are unaware- SELLER fees are charged on the TOTAL of the transaction, item price and shipping so there is no " avoiding Ebay fees"...

as per eBay statement regarding fees:

"We charge one final value fee when your item sells, and you don't have to worry about third-party payment processing fees. This fee is calculated as a percentage of the total amount of the sale, plus a per order fee. For orders $10.00 or less the per order fee is $0.30, for orders over $10.00 the per order fee is $0.40.

The total amount of the sale includes the item price, any handling charges, the shipping service the buyer selects, sales tax, and any other applicable fees. If you offer 1-day or international shipping as well as a cheaper or free option (like domestic shipping), the total amount of the sale is calculated based on the cheapest domestic option you offer. If you only offer 1-day or international shipping but no cheaper option like domestic shipping, the total amount of the sale is calculated based on the service the buyer chooses."
