[QUOTE="darthsatan, post: 282105, member: 5373"] Exactly. It's swings and roundabouts and more often than not minor losses are incurred on one side or the other. So is it then acceptable for a seller to ask for extra £ after the sale when it transpires they are out of pocket? Or do the something-for-nothing brigade figure that this is a totally acceptable "win"? I'm a collector who is often ashamed by attitudes I read on forums about this one way or the other. I'm a business owner that sees from the opposing perspective also. My point of view is that as a consumer one has the power to say "No" and not enter into the contract in the first instance. The postage fees will be there to see and it is the consumer's obligation to check beforehand if there appears to be a discrepancy or walk away if they are unacceptable to them. That way the fees one might consider too high will never be encountered. If one has the disposable income to buy such items as mere toys on an auction site, which is by it's very nature essentially a gamble, then one shouldn't bicker over pennies after the fact. [/QUOTE]
