1. What was the item?
2. What did he charge you for shipping?

Item was a book. I was charged $8.95. Even if shipping was free though, it stated Priority so that's how it should be shipped. For the record, this seller has kind of a checkered feedback so I doubt that it was an honest mistake.

Wow....$8.95 for shipping one book? Even for priority, that's a lot. I would email him and point out this discrepancy, and perhaps request a $5 refund; he couldn't have paid more than $4 to ship the book media mail.

was that 8.95 just for shipping? or was that the book and shipping included? How long did it take for you to receive your book? Priority is a 2-3 ship, Media can take much longer, but not always depending on volume at the PO and location. Like if you are in the same general area or state, there might not be a difference in the time.

For the record I don't think ebay cares about this matter because I remember someone else posting that they received something First Class instead of Priority and contacted ebay and ebay told them not an issue.

I think the we need more info before giving an opinion on the Neg.

Depends on the weight of the book.

My seller charged $12 Priority Shipping, I got it via Media Mail, but they are shipping labels.

I can't complain. I got them for like .03/sheet when it was all said and done.

I'll probably leave 5 stars.

Getting the item 'cheap' is irrelevant..

Feedback & stars are there for a reason...and that is to alert other buyer's to underhanded sellers.

Get a refund on part of the shipping (at least $5.00), or he would get a BIG FAT NEGATIVE from me + a very LOW star rating.

Should I Neg him and leave it at that or demand a 100% shipping refund and let him off the hook?

I wouldn't demand a 100% shipping refund.
I'd request a refund on the difference/overcharge; actual media vs priority.

Personally, I would have hit the BACK button on this Seller.

When you're in business, you can't afford to be so righteous.

I'm dealing strictly with a bottom line.

$8.95 was the cost of shipping. The book was $25. Here's the response I got from the seller.


i forgot to change that on the listing... why would a book need to go priority?
you can a) have a ful refund b) a $5 bill with your media mail package c) have it shipped priority D)or your alternative. let me know

My response


I don't NEED anything. I wanted what was advertised and what I paid for. It hasn't even shipped yet? In the listing you said everything ships next day. Just give me a full refund. I want out. Thanks

If it had already been shipped that would have been fine, all 5 stars. It's just that now he's at 2 lies. The listing clearly stated "
EVERY ITEM SHIPS NEXT DAY! YOU WILL NOT BE WAITING AROUND FOR YOUR PACKAGE TO ARRIVE."

And 3 days later it still hasn't shipped on top of the Priority Mail "misstatement" It just red flags me that this guy is going to be one problem after another. His feedback indicates that. The only reason I purchased from him was because it was only a book and I figured nothing can go wrong with a book. It would probably arrive smelling of cat urine and pages torn out.
