The woolies price wouldn't have included home delivery though.
And you would have to bring your own bag to carry it home, no wrapping of any kind included either.
What possessed you to buy Glen 20 as a one off from ebay anyway?
I could understand buying it as part of an online grocery purchase from some place like Catch of the Day, but even there, postage would not be free for one small item.
Realistically, it is always going to add on to the cost if something has to be posted out and it is always going to take a few days to get to you. The convenience might be worth it, but usually you'd be better off popping into a supermarket if you're after very small things.
You need to realise sometimes supermarkets & big stores can negotiate extra special prices on some items because they buy in bulk, and sometimes they will sell something at cost price or lower. Sometimes they can sell things cheaper than smaller retailers can get it for at trade price.
Prices vary on these sorts of things from week to week and shop to shop. There's no guarantee ebay will always be the cheapest.
You bought, you paid, you got what you ordered. Not entitled to a refund in my book.
Yeah, I'd never buy something like Glen 20 on ebay.
Perhaps then a positive feedback would be warranted with "Seller came though but bit expensive". Actually without seeing the auction and having second thoughts. Maybe just move on and put it down to experience.
Then again, the seller is selling everyday stuff on ebay. If doing it often, they should think about naiive punters falling into a trap.
