So, I picked up an item for Millie off Evil-Bay this week. The ad stated that the shipping charges would be "actual charges by shipper". I get an invoice from the seller and the shipping charges are double what I calculate on UPS. I have sent the guy two e-mails asking him about the charges, but he has not returned my e-mails. BTW, I was very nice about questioning the charges, so there was no reason for him to get upset. It has been 3+ days since the end of the auction. I am very particular as to whom I deal with normally, so I am now a little skeptical about sending a fairly large amount of $$$ to someone that I don't know and has questionable communication practices. Also, I am leaving for a week within the next day, Lastly, I don't need this part. I can purchase the part new for a little more that what I am paying for a part used for only 3 weeks.
What would you do? Wait for him to contact me? E-mail him again and explain why I am cancelling the purchase? Send the $$$ on the invoice? Other?
PS: I have great pride in my integrity, so I want to do the right thing. I also, don't want to get ripped off.
This is likely my last E-Bay purchase, because it is not worth the hassle.
