After all these years as an Ebay buyer, I was waiting for the time when something would go wrong. And here we go, and I would need some advice from you guys to know what I really should be doing next...
Ok, I bought 3 Famicom games from a Canadian guy last month. It was a (surprisingly) really good deal, less than $8 for 3 boxed game. Then I contacted him to know about the postage cost for the games. No answer for a week. Then I received an email and the postage cost was $55. I forgot to mention I live in California. So I contacted him again, asking if the price was correct, he looked into it and came back with $25 instead. This was still overpriced but I didn't want him to cancel the auction and send a bad feedback, and all in all the total was around $10/game which was still acceptable. I sent the money and one month later, I'm still waiting for the games. I sent him several emails this week, no answer.
I wouldn't like this person to be the first one to whom I leave a bad feedback (and it will probably do the same to me and spoil my 100% slowly accumulated over the years). But my guess about the story is that this guy didn't expect the games to sell for so low. So he increased the postage price. But I complained, so he lowered it but maybe never sent the games...
Another way would be to forget about it, do not post feedback and say bye bye to my $30+ and games...
What would you do ?...
