I won an item back on February 16th that was listed by a new franchise 
called "i SOLD it".

BE VERY VERY CAREFUL if you bid on anything from this group.

I paid for the item using PayPal within 1 hour of the auction ending.

I went through their "check out" procedure, and sat back to await my items 
arrival.

After receiving several things I had won after this item, I went back and 
asked the seller when I could expect to receive this item.

After 2 days I get an email saying that I had chosen to pick up the item 
locally when I checked out (Item is located in Palm Harbor, Florida)!!

As most of you know I am a little more than your average computer user, so I 
know I did NOT agree to this.

My receipt I printed from PayPal said $14.95 for the item and $5.00 shipping 
(this is for a t-shirt and baseball cap) so $5.00 is reasonable.

The seller then tells me I owe $8.00 for shipping, I go to PayPal and try to 
send the additional amount, only to get a message that the only way I can 
send this account funds is to go through their website "check out".

I contact the seller again, and today he sends me an email saying that I 
really own $8.00 since the $5.00 I originally paid is for "Handling" but 
that he will give me a break and reduce the $8.00 to six and gives me an 
email address to use with PayPal.

I again try to send this jerk his money and get the same message!!

I really think $13.00 for "shipping & handling" for a T-shirt and baseball 
cap is a little over the top!

This jerk is not getting any feed back from me anytime soon.

Just thought I would share, since I know a lot of you buy on Ebay.

Very frustrated!
