WHAT WOULD YOU DO

[joethenuts]

this happened to my daughter, what would you do

she purchased 3 separate small items  that was $4.00 each with free postage that went into a large letter $1.40  very light weight .

now what would you do as a seller they can all fit and weigh in a large letter under the 125g weight  would you send it in 1 large letter or separately  or send it in 1 large letter and give a refund for postage  or no refund

As a buyer, i really dont care how it gets sent, if i make three seperate purchases with a seller all i expect is for them to send the items, end of story.

Makes little difference AFAIC. As they are being sent at letter rate there is no seller protection, and if the items are listed as "free postage" it could be argued that there is no excess postage to refund.

Anyway, the proper time to be querying this is prior to placing the order. Contact the seller and ask if they're prepared to send all 3 items in the same package at a reduced charge, but with retail prices of only $4 I can't imagine the seller would be getting rich in a hurry.

Don't you have better things to do with your time than this? Seriously?

Here's what I would do as a buyer - expect my items to be sent, at no additional cost to me. End of. How they arrive is completely and utterly irrelevant. If I bought them all separately, and then requested an invoice, you do realise the seller has no way to discount the total on free post items, right? And why the heck are you ssuming some kind of refund should be due? Maybe the seller's $4 free-post pricing accounts for multiple purchases already. Maybe almost all of their buyers purchase several items at once, so they priced their stuff at $4.00 free post instead of $5 free post - ever think of that?

And I'll tell you something else.... I have purchased several items from several different sellers on eBay, who I know full well represent the same major company. They're not all free post items (but each one does have their own P&H discounts set up), and they all get sent in a single package. I have never even considered asking for a refund on postage costs, I just don't care enough about 50c, 70c, or whatever it might actually be, to waste my time even thinking about it let alone asking for it. 

Good grief.

I didn't make the thread about me, I just don't get why this issue is actually an issue. It's up to each seller to decide how to price items and how they handle the postage of items. Examining other seller's pricing (and/or reasoning behind it) is problematic because all you can see as someone who is not the seller is the end-price.

It's pointless to try and pose what I suspect is an ethical hypothetical when you can't even presume the full circumstances. You simply can't assume that 3 x $4 free post items automatically means more postage has been paid than necessary if the seller combines into a single package, because you have absolutely no idea what portion of that $4 was allocated to postage costs. 

You want an answer to your question, well, I don't do free post. I do get a lot of buyers purchasing several items and paying for them separately. If I combine into a single package I refund the excess postage costs, but that is a completely different scenario, since the postage cost is accounted for separately from the item price.
