Thanks, but I finally got a new invoice sent yesterday. After 6 days of messaging the seller, it wasn't over a week. I even phoned ebay friday night, and they said they would send the seller an alert. The item was originally for sale for 20$, but the listing said "may not ship to Canada". So I first messaged the seller asking about shipping to Canada, they said that would be ok, but would have to charge a little extra for shipping. I said I was ok with that, but might have to wait till friday(payday),depending on how much shipping would be. So, I get 2 messages last monday, the first one I missed somehow. The second message was the offer. 35 dollars, excluding shipping, available till Wed 15th at 2PM. I read it wrong, assuming there was still shipping on top of that, and messaged that I would have to wait till Friday. I was kinda confused cause I thought the seller was jacking up the selling price by 15$. I wanted the item regardless, anyways. So, I then saw the first message, and the seller said it would be 35$ total. I'm thinking that's a lot better. The seller did say originally that shipping would be about 20$. So I thought the seller knocked 5$ off the selling price and was charging 35$ total. I tried to go ahead with accepting the offer, but it wouldn't let me pay. It kept saying I had to get a new final total from the seller.satinstainer wrote:That's really strange I have personally purchased MANY items (aside from dresses ) on ebay without ANY hassles. If you're having problems with a particular seller that you can't resolve between the two of you, you do have the option of starting a "case" against them through ebay.
So, after 6 days of messaging the seller, and phoning ebay, I was finally sent a new invoice for 35$ plus 10$ shipping, making the final price 45$ total. 10$ higher than the original offer. Not much more, but is that cool?? Make a guy wait almost a week to pay for it, and charge 10$ more? 45$ is still a fair price, for what I'm getting, but that's not the point. Like I said before, I won't believe it till I see it in the mailbox, and if I get what's shown in the picture, it will ALL be worth it!!
I made an offer to buy another similar item, from a different seller, because I was so frustrated with this first item. I didn't think it was going to happen. haha And I also purchased a few smaller priced items, from different sellers, with no problems.
So, I guess I'm going to have to pay for this 2nd higher priced item today, cause the seller already changed the listing, to match the final total I was quoted in a message. Some sellers seem to have confusion when adding shipping charges, it seems.
I'm ending up spending more than I was planning! haha oh well, lots of early Christmas presents for me!!
