You know what pisses me off? When buyers send less than the auction total. This shit happens way too often. Then I have to email the motherfuckers and they always say "You really want me to send the extra 1$"? Yes, motherfucker!

Edit: Kao Pai, please outbid that guy on the shienryu cart so I don't have to deal with anyone I don't know. :)

I usually go for exact amounts ( total + specified shipping + insurance ), but on small amounts I'll round up, too... wink

yeah i normally round up (eh Jon)

but if i think the seller is taking the piss with shipping - i will send exactly what he wants

the only thing that annoys me with ebay

if they are unhappy with the end amount (only some ebayers) they try and make it sound that shipping from the states to the uk is fecking expensive and its not really

I had this before with some French bloke and it drove me up the wall. He ignored the fact that I stated I'll ship to the UK only and then sent the money (£850) via Western Union leaving me well short :mad:

then commenced a series of arguments over the phone between one person who doesn't speak french very well and another who was equally bad with his English. Such fun.

I hate people who charge you packing fees when USPS priority boxes are free. I have never charged more than a 1$ more than the actual shipping charge even when I had to buy extra packing material. Some GUY on ebay tryed to charge me 18$ shipping on a tekken 2 pcb. I sent hime an email with 3 completed tekken 2 pcb sales that compared his shipping with theirs- Then he told me 12$ was to prof. pack it and materials & that infact it only cost 6.00 to ship?

People shouldnt try to profit from shipping unless it's stated in the auction. I even asked ebay about this and they agree that any "Fees" for peoples time and materials must be listed I dont really understand your PROBLEM? -> How can somone underpay for shipping? Tell him pay up or he dons't get this shit...

You know that is hilarious. I have 3 "frequent" UK buyers that do the EXACT same thing....
they think they can get the US postage (IE the priority cost within the US) for their EMS package lol.

I hate it when I don't notice that they are from Indiana and forget to charge the 6% sales tax :(

They plain and well see that in the winning bid confirmation that I give them... they just don't send it.

Props to SNK4Ever for sending it the 1st time :)

you want to hear something hilarious on this note?....

I shipped an EMS package to Switzerland the other day (since our deal BB, I stopped with the airmail service and provide only EMS, unless the other person takes full risk for the package)...... well anyway... I told them $22.00 for the EMs shipping. 1-2 games generally run $19-22 via EMS (I send them in small boxes and refuse to send games in envelopes for damage/liability reasons).....
They thought that was high, complained a bit, but still paid.

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT COST for 1 GAME NO ADDITIONAL INSURANCE?! $26 friggin dollars. I told them that, they thought I was insane. they got the package and said "why would you pay $26 for shipping on that.. I cannot believe it actually cost that much."

shipping sucks sometimes.. it really does.
At least they trust me now lol :)
