[SEL] Latest eBay Ripoff

[William J Pfeiffer Sr]

Last year I bid on something, and paid for it via paypal, I included the 
shipping amount indicated by the seller.  I waited over a week and the item 
did not arrive so I emailed the seller.  This was a "I sold it" eBay 
location in Palmento Florida.  The seller then proceeded to tell me that I 
had chosen "local pickup", and if I wanted it shipped I owed another $8.00, 
after paying the original $6.00 for shipping.  This was all on a $14.95 Tee 
shirt I had won.  I complained that I felt I was being ripped off, so he 
said if I just sent $4.00 more he would then ship the shirt.  I did that and 
it still took another 2 weeks before I got the item.  Boy did I learn my 
lesson, I now make very sure the items I bid on are NOT being sold by one of 
these scam places.
