[QUOTE="PGowdy, post: 283608, member: 2042"] I respectfully disagree. With the postage at £5 you have to assume it will be packed well and sent recorded. I'm not sure what postage costs so i have to assume the seller is being honest. When the package arrives in a homemade envelope sealed with brown tape and a 2.40p postage cost you know the seller is taking the piss. But what you're saying is that's ok because i agreed to pay what i thought was the correct quoted postage costs. Also, bare in mind that i DIDN"T agree to pay £5 postage WHEN i 'won' the items. They were listed with £1.50 postage each. I asked for combined postage and the guy ignored me. After several requests over 3 days he finally sent an invoice with £5 postage. I thought, that's a piss-take but i'm gonna pay it and give him the benefit of the doubt but if it turns out he's trying to rip me off then i'll have something to say about it. What part of that is acceptable. I can't see it personally. There are no "two sides" of intentionally and dishonestly overcharging for postage. So what if someone lives in Spain and i charge them £10 postage for an item. I know full well it only costs £3.50 to send an item from here to there but i can take advantage of the fact that they probably don't know that and use the old "well, yes, i did intentionally overcharge on the postage and you could only possibly know that once your package has arrived but you saw the postage price, if you didn't like it you should have paid it" Utter utter bullshit. It just doesn't wash. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
