My Dirtwerx was $50 to ship airmail (frame only weight 5.5lb in a decent box) from Richie Haney.

Take the negative and find another one

mightymini · « **Reply #4 on:** November 02, 2005, 07:56 PM »

this is an email from them to me. Let it be known that this frame IS NOT for $70.00. The cost is $140.00 PLUS shipping to the UK. I want to make that very clear.

let ebay sort it then as you have his email addy sign him up for loads of sites wih spamming newsletters or "specialist interest" sites if you know what i mean

That seller is trying to reduce his ebay fees by putting half the cost of the frame on the shipping (no ebay fees on the cost of shipping). If you look at how much he's charging to ship just within the USA, it's $70.

It's circumventing ebays rules so if you report it to them, you might get away with it.

mightymini · « **Reply #12 on:** November 02, 2005, 09:14 PM »

reported him to ebay, 1st time ive had trouble like this, cheers for the advice.

no i didnt, there was no block on bids from outside the usa tho, as there is on some auctions. when he first got intouch that wasnt a problem.

Thats bad......Let us know what the outcome is on this. Cheers J

Frosty · « **Reply #21 on:** November 02, 2005, 10:46 PM »

You should send on the e.mails to ebay also - he is afterall trying to do them out of their fees - plus more importantly the eejit doesn't seem to comprehend the idea of the whole auction process!!

What are the charges of $140 for exactly

finding a box and putting stuff in it

? twat !

also if it does get lost on the way over, the item is only valued at $70
so thats what any claim would be based on .............

kick his arse !
