Grrr - why on ebay do buyers moan about postage when it is quoted upfront?!

Because they want the item at any cost? I give 1 star to people who charge over the top postage anything more than £2.50 is ripping the customer off for stuff like DVD's, CD's and small items

Maybe when they actually get the item and see how much postage is on it do they realise they have been overcharged. I hate it when sellers do that

not really is very boring (& quite heavy) utility item, some people just buying 1 at a time & then moaning about the postage ... I just don't get it

+1

I hate that too, the items weigh 500g each (so pretty heavy) & go out in new jiffy bag too, and we charge £3 flat rate postage for as many as they like, Royal Mail website quoting £1.85 per parcel. Most people buy anywhere between 2 - 4 at a time, but some people have been buying just one & I reckon they are then leaving bad feedback on the P&P...

so how much was actual postage incl packaging on this item

If the P+P price is too high, then don't buy it, chances are there are a few hundred or thousand other choices where the P+P price is lower. You don't go and buy an item and then say it's too expensive, if the item arrives in a careless way such as without padding or something that can damage the item in any way then that would be a reason to neg a seller.

But for sellers they get chopped to bits by fees, there is Ebay fees (around 10%, listing fee, Paypal fee) and so i would say the seller is entitled to a few pennies extra to cover the cost of all this.

£1.85 plus whatever the jiffy was...

Also the item is cheaper than most people selling it so we are the same as everyone else if you buy one and waaaayyy cheaper if you buy 2...

If someones charging £7 for postage on say a phone, I think both parties know very well its gonna less than that,

Does eBay charge fees on postage? Cos if not, its a good way to bypass eBay fees a little.

ebay is for tools, the price is there, the postage is quoted, get over it!!!! You pay the price, you mad?

so to me you havent ripped them off on postage.

what is their feedback left for others like?

On some items such as DVD's and video games, Ebay won't let you charge P+P fees, so it's even worse

I up my postage to cover the ever growing costs of paypal. Always qouted but the main items I sell there are larger parcels so they never can check it.

I don't know who it is because everyone has left 100% positive feedback and really great comments but someone has secretly left a 1 or 2 feedback star in the P&P fees section...
