New Buyer Scamming Method!! Beware!!

[xIcyBluex]

But why don't you combine shipping? I'd say the majority of sellers do and your buyer no doubt made, albeit an incorrect one, the assumption that you did too.

The $20 she discounted herself covers much more than just shipping and she knows that.

have you requested the money back?

 

[xIcyBluex]

Yes I am doing that right now. It appears she has done it to alot of other sellers as well if you check her feedback there are some who have been brave enough to post a negative feedback warning others...

That's what I was thinking.

Yeah, but a buyer should either pay the entire invoice or NOT and request the seller adjust it to her combined shipping policy.

I think xIcybluex just didn't know she could turn off the allowance for buyers to change the total. The buyer is 100% wrong to do that.

Hopefully xIcybluex doesn't give in... if only this little trick would work at gas stations, grocery stores, and at the pharmacy. "Oh, $37.00 to fill up? I don't think so, here's $17.00". See what I mean?

Eek, so good that you caught it. That wasn't so nice of her. For future listings, you can go to your ebay preferences and not allow buyers to edit their invoice/shipping, etc.

Thanks for this tip - I've just changed my preferences.
