what are my options when a seller asks for more money for postage after I have paid for the item?

[flurryandfog]

having bid on an item, taking into consideration the quoted postage costs, and then paying promptly, the seller now wants double the quoted postage as they have discovered the quoted amount is not enough. however I feel that if I had known the p&p was going to be 3 times the value of the item I would not have bid on it. What can I do?

You have 2 choices....pay the extra or ask the seller for a cancellation.

With an increase of that magnitude I would be asking for the cancellation and look for a seller with realistic postage costs.
