[WWI] ot: Ebay shipping costs

[Scottrik]

In which case we must agree to disagree.

My feeling is that if the seller meets all their obligations under the
listing to leave "negative" feedback is inappropriate and worthy of negative
feedback right back at you without being "retaliatory". No one was holding a
gun to ANYONE'S head forcing them to buy. If you (anyone) bought at the
auction you did so of your own free will and did so accepting the terms and
conditions as-published. To come back after the fact is, to me, being every
bit as "dishonest" in one's dealing.

My choice...just don't buy from them. If someone else is willing to play the
game, more power to them.

I disagree Scott. It's a form of misrepresentation and if you disagree with
the practice then the only way to stop it is to leave negative, or at least
neutral feedback. If the seller were to say in their listing "the inflated
postage cost is so I don't have to pay inflated eBay fees but the overall
price the buyer is paying remains the same" then I would agree that leaving
negative feedback would be wrong. Of course, if someone DID put that on
their listing then the eBay overlords would undoubtedly remove the auction!
