Why is it that you provide good service and you send positive feedback they get a price lower than the should for an item. So I include a nicely worded message with the PP invoice about it would be goodwill to add a few £ to the order due to the bids being so low. Also including the fact OPTIONAL and the invoice was also originally priced and the Censored decides to say I tried to 'extort money' and negative feedback. He must be poor if he can't pay £6 - £12 Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Whistle Evil or Very Mad

You entered into a contract and he won the auction. If you didn't want to sell it for silly money you should have set start or a reserve price... Or even a Buy it Now price?? 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

To be honest have to agree a bit with RD, but understand your frustration.

He likes using the word "extort" see his negative feedback !!

If you start an auction at a low start you have to accept it might sell for nothing.

We all use ebay because we want to get a bargain, I'm not sure its sensible suggesting someone should pay you more - sorry stating the obvious given your post !! - after winning an auction. 2020 P300 HSE

I agree 100%. In the old days when Ebay was good i knew someone who won flights for two to Amsterdam and three nights accomodation for 50p. It is now a racket with most of the items i look at costing RRP and over with crazy posting costs. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Never thought I'd say this but I agree with Red Dot. You cant ask for more money after you have agreed a contract for a price, I'd have been Censored off too.

I see what RD is saying but all he needed to do if paying nothing extra was to pay the asking price and either say he wants to just pay that and I would have said no problem. Either that or just pay original price and say nothing more. But to say nothing wait for the item to arrive and also know I have submitted positive feedback (He also paid after about 2 - 3 days no faster like others) And then submit that and make it look like I wouldn't sell. Is in my opinion a joke. I have only very recently started to sell a few things on there so new to it all as well. I find it funny how every other buyer has been happy with my service. Rolling Eyes

Kona, you really don't get it? You list an item, he wins, he doesn't offer more for it (why should he) then you ask for more... grow a pair and think before you list. I have never ever offered more than the final price for anything but then again i am a Jocklander. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Was stated as optional And it was at his discretion as I didn't edit the invoice or anything like that only a note attached. That'll teach me to leave feedback first Evil or Very Mad I didn't ask or demand only mentioned it. And seeing as anothr buyer that had a higher asking price messaged me back saying he will add a bit extra and was pleased with the item and left a good feedback. Lesson learnt by some of the more less nice people of this world and from now on they pay what is due no feedback given and nothing else said.

Either way without causing arguing I still thinks it's a bit un-fair. And just accept that I'm in the wrong again and leave it at that. Thanks for your reply's all of you. Thumbs Up
