I am trying to buy an Office Gaming Chair, the ad show Free Postage but when i go to the checkout i have $30 delivery charge?

It is not only 1 but most i tried. This is false advertising which i see on most item i purchase now.

Don't know if this is the answer but I have read that people accessing ebay via mobile phone can sometimes have a false free postage shown. Try a computer or laptop and see.

Hmm, I don't know then. It is sounding to me as if it may be an item that does not have a set postage price & a different postage amount may be charged depending on where you live  & how far away it is from the warehouse.

Are you able to list an item number? We're a curious lot in here so we could look it up and see what it is showing for us.

What is the item number?

 

Is it 'free' to your area

 

Or 'freight' contact seller for price?

Thank you.


 

The listing was ended by the seller on August 16 because of an error in the listing.

Shows free postage to me.

 

However it would be a hard pass from me.

China based seller with not so stellar feedback... not too bad but not great.

 

Remember... cheap no good... good no cheap.

Buy a quality product locally.

I agree

 

Utterly dodgy as seller, registered in China and feedback down the loo

 

They would not have gotten my business to start with, even if the chair and the postage was free

Not to bad!!!!!!  Really!!!  98.4%,  but if you added all the neutrals to that it would drag it down even further.  And have a read of them,  dodgy as.  Why would anyone buy from them.
