Hi I purchased an item 23 March. From an international seller listed as a business. I requested a cancellation on the 29th March. I had contacted the seller explaining I wished to cancel the order so that I could re-order and add extra items to benefit from reduced postage costs. It may sound petty but one extra item costs £4.40'ish and the postage is £8.80'ish. It's two small metal ring clips. Thin wire and no weight. There was two other items with similar excessive postage costs. In total, a further sale of £33 and postage costs of £19.33. When added to my original order which was £16.68 + postage of £10.20 it means my total postage would be £29.55. Now call me fussy but the original order was for heavier piece of rubber hose and cost £10.20 postage yet a couple of small rings cost £8.80'ish. I use 'ish because I haven't worked the figures exactly and added VAT. But I'm sure you get my gist, it seems the postage is excessive and Ebay used not to allow unreasonable postage. Now to add insult to injury, the seller has informed me that the order they refused to cancel won't even be sent until 22 April yet it was ordered and paid for on 23 March! I'm truly getting disillusioned with Ebay. It's got no ethics or morals anymore. I'd like to hear other peoples opinions, even if they say I'm in the wrong.
