i'm having bad luck with ebay lately

[Brewster]

i bought some upper vent panels things (black things that go behind the side windows). the guy said they look "like new," they don't. they have the typical yellow spiderwebbing shit. he also took a long time to ship.. i paid relatively a lot for them too.

won two auctions from the same seller so i messaged them to see if they would combine shipping. sent them 3 messages and didn't get a response.. so i'm not paying for it..

also won another auction and they guy wanted $20 to ship some little thing.. so i emailed him and told him it shouldn't be more than $10 and he hasn't answered me still.. so i'm also not paying for it

wtf, i'm tired of this bullshit. :icon_conf

i've never had any problems on ebay until now.

 

[supra90turbo]

hmm. that IS bs.

 

[supradan22]

How much was the item for the 20$ shipping sometimes that how the total evens out.

20.50 + 20 to ship

 

[supra90turbo]

Make a claim with ebay about those.. stat.
I'm pretty sure I've got a set that's good, if you need.

 

[Brewster]

i'm just going to buy some new ones, they're $102 at elmhurst. i paid $66 shipped for the "like new" ones..

i'm anal about shit like that. i want things to look perfect.

I used to sell penny stickers on ebay and I would charge $2 or $3 to ship and handle them. Basically making my money off shipping and screwing ebay out of all their percentage of the sale and people would actually complain because I would not combine shipping..

Does he offer combined shipping in the ads?

Go to his house in a suit (might as well be stylin) and when he opens the door take your gun out of your shoulder holster (because everyone knows you have to wear a shoulder holster with a suit) and shoot him in the knee caps and recite, "That is all."

Well ebays does sell some shit, and most of it bullshit.

Don't remember if the auctions I won said he would combine shipping, but some of his others did. It was for interior parts and I bid up the auction a lot because I wanted them.

 

[Brewster]

heh this is the message the guy sends me after telling him those vent panels weren't "like new."

"Hello, I'm sorry that you are not happy with them. To my knowledge they were in good condition."

I really hate the shipping fees people charge, I end up missing a lot of parts I want b/c the rates are rediculous.

I'm not a moron, I've shipped items before, like a stock radio and an instrument cluster, and those did not cost me over $10 to ship, yet I see cluster all the time on ebay with $20 shipping that's the same 3-5 day crap I used >.<

If they want to make that extra $10 why not ust add it to the reserve or whatever so it's not so damn scandalous.

 

[Joel W.]

I was not trying to give you a bad time Brewster.. I just wanted to explain why sellers act the way they do...

Ebay sellers are very competitive. If some guy can take $10 off the purchase price and make it up on the shipping end it does 2 things.

First, It prevents ebay from taking their cut out of that $10 because they do not take their percentage from shipping costs..

Second, if you are $10 under your nearest competition you may sell more items than your competition.

I know it sucks but it is a loop hole ebay made and people are starting to use it.

Paradise racing is giving me grief. They never responded to even 1 of my emails. It took them a week to send me the total which wasn't what i asked for (I wanted express shipping) So i didn't pay. Now they are trying to report me to ebay or some shit. Worst company ive ever delt with on ebay so far

 

[Brewster]

so the guy finally messaged me about the combined shipping and gave me a few bucks off, so i paid him lol..

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

^ Yay! Harmony in Ebayland!

 

[supradan22]

I remeber before the hurricane Katrina I had won a bid on a n/a bottom 7mge to get my supra running. Won it for a 100 bucks then the hurricane hit and some how shipping went to like 400 bucks I said fuck that....if it wasnt for that hurricane I would have gone n/a and have been very angry with myself.

I paid $144 for some stainless pipe a week and a half ago...and still have nothing. I'm gonna find them and piss in their cheerios.

Sometimes the sellers put up a very cheap selling price and cover the costs by increasing the shipping.
Always check to see how much they want for shipping 1st before u buy.
