Let me start things off by noting a disturbing practice of which many of you might not be aware:
Did you know that eBay's checkout system actually allows the Seller -- *after* the auction ends -- to CHANGE (i.e., RAISE) the stated Shipping Cost at which you won your auction...WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE...and send you an "Official" looking Invoice with the inflated shipping charge?
In other words, after the auction is OVER, eBay allows the Seller to come in and RAISE (without the Buyer's permission or even knowledge) the end-shipping charges that were stated at the auction end. Sounds fair, right?? RIIIGGGGHHHT...
This has happened twice to me in the past two months. One time, the Seller changed the postage cost of a simple (small) paper wall-poster from $4 to $10. The second time, a Seller changed the shipping on a simple Keyboard from $10 to over $47...just for shipping the keyboard! In both auctions, the Sellers and myself were, and are, residents of the USA.
So, what's YOUR favorite eBay rant?
Once you try retrogaming, you'll never go back...
