I made a purchase and paid for the $3.60 that the seller wanted for shipping. I just recieved an email this morning that they want to invoice me an additional $3.85 for shipping. Can a seller do that? It's already paid, shouldn't they just have to take the loss? Item number was 330755001903 ... View more

Hi; I am from Canada and thus use ebay.ca, I use the calculated postage , yet I get many questions as to how much shipping would be to the U.S., are these people missing the postage amount on the item page or is the postage even showing on the item page?? I know that when I view my listings, I see the postage total to Canada, just curious if it shows when viewed Stateside. Thanks ... View more

Hello, just trying to add tracking info to a sale, but ebay only seems to give me 2 option, none of which I ever use because one is bloody expensive and the other is just aweful. I assume they have contracts with UPS/CanPost, but how do I add tracking from Purolator?   Thanks in advance!   Steve ... View more

Hi All,   So, purchased an item a few days ago, ran through the payment on my phone as I didn't want to leave the seller waiting too long (long shifts over the weekend, not much chance to sit down at a computer), took five minutes, left it at that.   This morning, I get a message from the seller with nothing short of a life story about how obviously someone 'hacked their account' and put free shipping on one of their auctions (the one I bought), and they would not ship unless I paid the $10 shipping fee listed on the auction. Now, realistically, I don't care, I'll happily pay it - it's on the listing (wasn't on the checkout page) and I wasn't buying the item for the reasonable shipping cost, it's something I really wanted so no biggie.   My question is though, what would be the usual course of action in this circumstance, I paid what was on the invoice, promptly, and the message I got from the seller left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, I don't need to know the circumstances surrounding the sale, it's SO unprofessional to indicate to a customer that someone 'hacked your account' and modified the shipping options on ONE item. Thoughts? Any rules/regs I should be referring to? Airing on the side of just paying it and allowing my feedback to reflect the unprofessional manner in which the seller dealt with it.   Thanks 🙂     ... View more

I have a very large and very valuable antique clock that I'm thinking of putting on e-bay.  My problem is shipping costs.  It has to be packed professionally. It weighs about 100 lbs.  How can I determine the shipping cost.  Would courier companies come to my home to give me a price?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I can't take it off the wall, pack it and then get it to a post office.  Thanks.  ...

Hi!   I just successfuly placed a best offer on an item. The item ships from Canada and I am a Canadian resident.   The shipping charge said $10.50 US to US destinations.   I contacted the vendor who emailed back saying he would charge me $3 Cdn.   After I bid on the item I got the message congratulating me from ebay but it states the shipping charge is $10.50 US and not the $3 Cdn the vendor agreed to.   Consequently I did not pay for the purchase yet. If I do will the shipping cost be adjusted or not?   I contacted the vendor and am waiting for him to answer. ... View more

I am wedding shopping for various items and I notice that a lot of items from Hong Kong and Thailand say "Free Shipping", but I am afraid that the "free shipping" may cost a bundle once it reaches Canadian Customs. Do I still pay duty and taxes on the items? How do I know how much? Or where can I find the info? ... View more

Hi folks, my problem is as follows: I bought a wedding dress (custom made) and it is said that for making the dress I need to wait from 1-6 weeks plus 1-2 weeks for shipment, giving a deadline for delivery of  8 weeks. It is now 9 weeks pased and the saler constantly talking that the dress will be sent, but not and specific date. The dress is stil not sent. Now I wanted to open the case and I saw that my time has expired. The application deadline was up to 28.05.2012, and the seller on his site said it was 8 weeks delivery time (as in my case up to 01.06.2012.) ... In this case I'm not protected.   I didn't wanted to open a case before the expiry date of delivery and what now? You want to be honest and at the end they scam you ... what should I do?   ...
