I won an ebay bid - Extras season 1 - for £3.50.The postage was 31.50 for UK, and nothing was added for international (although he said he would post international).
I was happy enough, and online when i won. I tried to pay, and it asked me to check with the seller about international postage. About an hour later i got an automated invoice with the postage set at £1.50, and i contacted the seller to make sure it was OK......I've now left two messages, and have yet to recieve a reply.

Should i

a) Just pay the invoice as is, and expect delivery
b) wait for a reply (how long should i have to wait for a reply anyway ?)
c) Leave it be, and leave negative feedback.

Option A)

People are always trying to rip others off on eBay with exorbitant shipping costs. Now it's time for payback!

Do it for all of us, Huck.

How 'International' are you? Eg Posting to Europe doesn't cost much more than the UK. As an ex-ebay seller, I'd always add 50p on though

Ireland, so it's not that far away from him (UK).Other people set a standard of anywhere from £3.50 - £5.50.

I'm only asking for his benafit, you'd think he'd reply.

You won the item.

You used checkout and requested confirmation of postage costs from seller.

Seller sent you an invoice.

Pay the invoice and await your goods.

Why would you even consider option c? The seller has done nothing wrong. Many sellers don't answer emails and all you get is the standard invoice which you pay and then you receive the goods a few days later.

Just knock the detailed feedback options down for "communication"

I actually got two responses tonight. The guy said the cost was £1.50, and he would reimburse me if it was less......I had to reply to explain that i was checking if it was more.....what a decent guy he turned out to be.
