  Peg,

  My experience was with an "i Sold it" in WY.   I paid $9.95 for some paper which could have been shipped first class for 39 cents but I was charges $10.82 shipping and handling.  This seller is really ripping off customers for shipping.  Item was shipped priority mail which would have cost $4.05.  Remember for priority mail the US post office provides the package etc.   I didn't receive the package for over a week after payment.  The person in charge was not available to reply to my questions was the response I received.  I have to be truthful there was a shipping calculator but never did I think that there wouldn't be a sensible shipping charge on the item.

  My feedback was neutral because I didn't want to receive negative back.  But I will never buy from another "i Sold it".

  Leaving complete message intact intentionally!

    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!

    Peg Pfeiffer
