I love Ebay. I`ve never asked for a lower shipment price. Seriously, the price listed is the price you pay. Only time I`ve ever enquired about payment is when I want to ask about buying multiple items and want to know how much the shipment would be for them all...blah blah. Normal enough stuff. Makes you wonder if she`s the type to haggle with shop staff about the price of goods lol. Just because it`s Ebay, doesn`t mean it`s a flea market where you can negotiate. If you don`t recieve payment within the week, file a claim. If she wants the jeans, she`ll pay the agreed price.

You cant leave negative feedback for buyers, only positive :( It`s ebay`s new policy.

Shouldn`t have caved but, that`s over now. It is not worth YOU being upset over. Some people are total a-holes and no matter how right you are this is going to cause you more stress over a dollar. Just get the cash, send the jeans and leave her neutral feedback explaining why.

She`s really hassling you over a stupid dollar??!!! What a nut! I`d charge her the $6 too!

I wouldn`t give in!!! Charge her the $6.00....if she can`t afford the extra $1.05 than maybe she shouldn`t be on eBay!!! If she doesn`t pay, then flag her :o)

She probably does this all the time and gets her way! I have never sold anything but have bought some. Do you think she would put a negative mark on you? I have not bought often but I do look at that after being burned from someone from this site over hairbows I spent over 80 dollars on some things and never received them and it went through pay pal. Anyway she should pay what you said it would be. good luck.

I`m with your husband. It`s 1.05 difference, why is she being such a crazy person?! It`s about principal at this point, how many people does she try to do this too? Ugh, what a headache for you :( But I wouldn`t give in.

I wouldn`t cave either. I have sold and bought on eBay and I think it`s BS that someone would do that, but I`m sure that she`s not the only one. I would also block her from bidding on your items again. Good Luck!

avaann (876 days ago)
dont cave. charge her. it`s an inconvenience to you. would she do this at a regular store? NO!

i agree with everyone else and i`m not an ebay virgin. charge her the 6.00 it may only be a dollar but its the purpose. if she doesn`t pay make a claim!

Yeah you can ship it whenever you want. I always wait til they pay. Im just mad she had to wait til Thursday when she won the auction Sunday morning to message me asking if I`d lower it again since yesterday I hauled ass to the post office when my DH got home to get there and mail a few other ebay things before they closed.

I don`t know anything about ebay but I just have to say some people are SO cheap. I wouldn`t have caved into her, if she wants the jeans bad enough she will pay the $6.00 shipping. :-)

So, I was selling some things on ebay and this girl sent me a message asking if I`d give her $4.95 shipping for USPS flat rate for a pair of jeans. Idk if any of you have seen the flat rate $4.95 boxes...but they are TINY. My aunt sent me a 3 piece onsie set for Raelyn that she had to roll up and cram in there and even then the box was bulging. So I told her there was NO way they`d fit. She messages me back and says she thinks they will and still wants me to lower shipping so she can spend more on the bid itself, but if I want to keep it at $6.00 that`s fine. I message her back saying `yes, I`m keeping it at $6.00 because I know for a fact it won`t fit. The bid ends, I send her the invoice because she won and she sends a request for an updated invoice like 5 minutes later. So I just re-sent her invoice. This was on Sunday. At like, midnight lastnight/this morning she messages me and asks if I`m giving her $4.95 flat rate shipping!! I`m like `I told you the first time that I wouldn`t...the bid is the same price now as it was when you sent me the message, so you don`t need to save on shipping to bid more` and she messages back saying she wants me to try to get it to fit into the tiny tiny tiny 4 inch flat rate box. I was like whatever eff it and just told her I`d charge her $4.95 but wouldn`t be shipping it flat rate, just in a normal box. My husband said I shouldn`t have caved to her, and since she hasn`t paid yet (it`s like 11 AM by me) I should re-send an invoice with the $6.00 shipping on it and if she doesn`t pay that one to file a claim with ebay against her and just not send out the jeans. I`ve already gotten into claims with people on ebay and it`s a huge hassle and headache. And I really don't care about a few dollars, it's just that she was such a bitch about it to me. So should I just leave it, or do what my husband thinks I should do? Sorry this is so long lol
