The most shipping I've ever paid on an Ebay item
was $65- so really, this person doesn't have it
so bad.
Frankly, I don't see how this person can report
you to Ebay if the auction hasn't even ended
yet, and if they aren't the highest winning
bidder. Your terms are your terms and if the
buyer doesn't like that, they don't have to
bid. I've passed over items before because I've
disliked the laid out shipping costs. But other
items I've wanted badly enough, I've gone ahead
and paid it because it was worth it to me.
You've provided accurate shipping quotes for
EMS, and you don't have to change your policies
on shipping for one person on an auction that
hasn't even ended yet, that they haven't even
bid on and won yet. Plus, I think it's wise to
mail all packages insured, whether the buyer
likes it or not. I used to make insurance
optional on my auctions, and then lo and behold,
one time a cel got lost in the mail to a buyer
that refused to buy insurance. Instead of
blaming themself for not taking me up on my
offer and paying the extra couple dollars for
insurance, they instead called me a filthy,
lying thief, claimed I never mailed the cel, and
proceeded to threaten me with lawyers and all
sorts of craziness.
So now, I make it my policy that all packages
will be mailed with insurance. If bidders don't
like that, they'll just have to bid on someone
else's auctions.
I don't suppose I was much help, but I do
understand where you are coming from. |
