Numpty buyers now costing me more money.

[go-tazz]

List an item as pick up only and a member buys it and then I notify buyer the pick up address.

Get the didn't know it was pickup only as they thought it was free postage so please cancel (do the cancel and PP

now keep 52 cents as a fee reversal.

Same item and buyer wants to know if I will post and I explain the whole procedure on I'll need to list it with

postage (member buys the item before I can revise it and I have to cancel again and cop another 52 cent fee).

So now the item has $1.04 in reversal fees because of buyers error but I paid (each cancellation was that the

buyer asked to cancel yet I cop a fee).

Now they'll just need their employees to buy stuff and then it cancelled them to get extra funds.

I dunno then.

If no dimensions are stated on the listing then eBay/AP have no idea what they are, and can't really place any blocks.

If it was me, I would use the label and if the LPO actually measured it (doubtful) and rejected it (even more doubtful) I would chuck it in the red box outside. I don't have any late postage defects, though, so I can handle one.

For the little bit extra it cost me and considering how little I originally paid for the knives it's not a problem (label

is already printed from the other options I was given).).

Will just keep an eye on it and at least now I know if it's "oversize" I can just use the calculated option.

Just good that the other options can now be used via the eBay/AP postage choices when you do the label (

first time I've used it for a non eBay postage option but still able to post using the PO calculations).

I put all my eBay satchels over the counter to get a lodgement scan. My PO is very strict with dimensions. All letters, large letters, padded bags etc get put through the letter gauge if they look even close to maximum size. I have had a few 500g satchels that were padded out like pillows and had absolutely no problem with the post master n*zi accepting them. He always keeps up with all changes and even he said that if it's under 500g and can fit in a 500g satchel, then it's OK to post.

I've always posted across the counter and have never had a problem with the staff here (they always check but

know I have a letter gauge at home so wouldn't bring one in that's oversize).

In the past I've had items that were sent in the 500gr and 3kg satchels that well over the new 8cm and 10.5

dimensions because no dimensions were ever mentioned before and you could fit thicker items(now that there

are maximum dimensions highlighted on the pre print page they may or may not enforce those).

Doesn't worry me as the buyer pays the postage.
