Just pay the $2 shipping and then give him a negative review.

I thought about that, but according to the Ebay supervisor he could have added any amount he wanted and it still would of gone through as a purchase even though I had not agreed to the terms of sale with the added $.
It would still not be considered a counter offer and I would still have to pay or receive an unpaid item strike and then have to dispute the strike. Although $2 may be considered reasonable, he could of added $5 or $10 or $100 and I would still not be able to simply decline the new offer but would have to dispute it through Ebay. |

That's interesting - and a useful caveat for all Bayers who were not aware of that particular pitfall. Sorry it had to be you to bring it to light, but thanks for the information.

When I made a BuyItNow offer earlier, it let me ask for "caveats" and I could have put Free Shipping as one. Maybe next time, try that. I did them on the cellphone app; maybe it works differently than the website for this type of purchase.
(I have done some other things on the cellphone app that the website controls would not let me.) |

Not sure how to link but the item listing # is 151371464906. Both the auction and the best offer form had free shipping stated on them. I did not feel that I had to add a note saying they could not add more for shipping. Also, I have bought many items from best offers and this is the first time this problem has occurred. I offered $18.50, the buyer accepted the offer and added the $2 for shipping, and Ebay automatically said this was ok and placed it on my purchase page. I could care less about the $2 but this is not how best offer supposed to work.

Trying to have a reasonable conversation with ebay (paypal has been worse) in my experience has been like talking to a brick wall. They play by their own rules and change them as needed to suit their purposes. I have done thousands of transactions on ebay and paypal. The overwhelming majority have been seamless. The exceptions is where they just plain suck! I will not bore you with the details - let most of that go a while ago. I encourage you to check out the following:
http://complaints.paypalsucks.com/ and http://ebaysucks.com/ They are essentially the only game in town doing what they do at the level they do it - my choice is to deal with the truth or choose to do business in some other way. I choose to continue to do business on ebay (with paypal)only because the exceptions in my case have been ........well, exceptional. |
