I recently bought fair and square a car owner's manual for $40 through auction. I was the only bidder and won. I paid for the item which had free postage and the next day I got a message saying it was on its way to be posted. Then I got a message saying it had been fully refunded and that the seller was sorry and forgot to put in the postage costs.

It was then put back on ebay and with a postage cost of $15 (its small enough to fit in a $9.95 satchel), and has put it on auction again or the option of buy it now for $65.

I was put off by this, I know eBay is not perfect by all means but as a seller, I would never do this. I really need the manual so Im in the bidding again, and prepared to pay the postage fee but its really quite bad customer ethics, I have to wait many days till the auction is over and pay more despite winning the auction in the first place!

Has this happened to anyone else like this? Surely im not the only one, and is this allowed?

Yes... have had this happen to me several times... I moved on.

If it was not "allowed" then it would not have happened.

Hi all, I've just won a bid of an item, could not believe what little I paid for it it's worth three times as much. Great communication between myself and the sell, conformation of winning and will be in the post came w I thin seconds of the pay now email which was all done. Not even a day latter the seller contacted myself moved house and can't find the item in all the boxes? Cheers Max. (Not Happy Jane)
