Hi thanks for your order Unfortunately shipping to Australia for this item is more expensive than we expected If you like to continue the order, please paypal $30 more to streetrays
Let us know
Thank you

2 email from them,

Dear ----------------,
The item is heavy and shipping by USPS priority is getting more and more expensive. we charge you only what USPS charged us. You can report all the emails and msgs from us to eBay and paypal and everyone. We can't ship your order if we're going to lose money shipping it. Why do we want to sell a kit if we're gonna lose $15 after it is all said & done?

- streetrays

want $30 because it will cost them $15 ? that fair right !!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting a bit of this from high volume sellers. i paided extra $80 after the sale because they messed up but now for the 3rd time i'm getting asked for only $3 and i refused. not because I'm a tight @#$, i'm just getting it to often and i'm afraid if i pay then i might be encoraging sellers to be misleading and i don't want anyone else to be mislead by someone trying to make a bit extra on a sale by being sneaky like that. Just trying to think of the next guy. i think he should take the $3 loss and learn from his maketake

hi , i have not got my money back yet , have asked seller for refund and paypal but nop no money back yet !   been waithing a week now .  i've been on ebay for a long time and this is the first seller that has given me a real hard time . thanks for taking the time to comment

Just open a dispute for Item Not Received.  The seller will have to provide proof that it has been shipped or refund your money.

on that basis no seller could complain when a bidder doesn't pay
