Just bought MotoGP2 on Xbox- but what annoyed me was i paid £2,20 for P&P, it turns up this morning in a 2nd hand jiffy bag with a 75p stamp on it!! How annoying is that.
When i send stuff, I charge people exactly what it costs me to send it. I always make sure its packed well & neat too.

ask for your money back from the buyer and leave negative feedback.
if needed email him a photo of the jiffy bag he's probably hoping you won't say anything !!!!

I know its not much money, but its the principle & also, its about ethics. Why someone has to inflate the P&P to make an extra pnd or so is beyond me.

Do not wish to sound a bit of a killjoy but! if you add up the cost of going & buying the jiffy bag, stamp, cost of fuel etc etc, it sounds like a fair price to me. Always look at the P&P charges before you bid.

If you aren't happy with the P&P costs, don't bid.
Simple as that.
Once you have placed a bid, you have accepted the charges as detailed on the auction.
Caveat emptor......

Have to agree with the others - just because it's a 75p stamp it doesn't mean that the £2 charge wasn't justified!

As has already been said, you should check all the seller's conditions before bidding, and if you don't like them then don't bid.

says him......nah, you did me a good service Ant.

I doubt he went out & bought this jiffy bag!! it had someone elses address underneath the label & was stapled/taped together.

I expect to be treated the same as i treat people. If I'd quoted someone £2,20 postage for something the size of a letter, I would have at least made the effort - its all in the presentation y'know

The other thing what annoyed me was, my cheque to him cleared on the 26th, yet he didnt post it till yesterday- after he'd told me he'd posted it several days earlier.
