Another E-bay rant

[ccbchevy]

Guy had a door for my 66 Chevelle, had some minor damage a small hole in one corner easy fix. He had it at starting bid of 24.99 and I will qoute what he had in his add.

"This is a decent door.....needs some work
.....Free Shipping to USA lower 48 States.........this will have to be shipped by Greyhound Bus only......................."

So I am the only person to bid. When you go to check out it says shipping is 59.00, so I assume this is if I want to ship something other then greyhound. I contact the seller and say hey you said free greyhound shipping I can give you my phome number and which station I want it shipped to when I pay. I get a response back from him now trying to cancel the purchase and he is stating it said 59.00 for shipping. I sent him a copy of what he had posted in his add and I am waiting on a response, I told him I feel like you are trying to add additional charges to me because you thought the door would be bid up higher. I have made mistakes before on shipping cost and its my fault and I bit the bullet I know one item i shipped it end up costing me money to ship I think I sold something for 10.00 and thought shipping would only be about 10.00 and shipping cost me 25.00 I did not go back and tell the person who bought it, my fault you have to pay more. It was my fault and I had to take the loss.

I would look in the help section and call Ebay for thier advice. I believe he is legally bound to sell it at his loss. He may get banned from Ebay or other repercussions.

Called E-bay and was told basically you have 2 choices accept the cancel order or pay the price with shipping. Basically was told he said it was mistake and in so many words was told that nothing will happen to him unless he does this on a regular basis.
