Shipping cost question

[thatsteveguy]

I've got a quick question here; I recently purchased an item from a fellow calgunner. The deal was for a set price that included shipping. I recieved a PM telling me the seller had shipped it but that the shipping was more than they had estimated and now would like me to make up the difference. I've never in all my transactions had this come up. I've personaly sold stuff with shipping included and if it was more than I estimated, I ate the difference. So, do I placate a fellow calgunner and send him the additional funds or tell the seller the deal was for a set amount and I shouldn't be responsible for a wrong estimate. What to do, what to do?

Personally, I think a deal is a deal. I've eaten some shipping overage myself in the past.

The extra the seller paid is called TUITION. A deal is a deal, and shipping is easy to estimate, with little effort.

I would wait until you received the item before sending any extra money the seller is claiming you owe him. (That's if you plan to send him any.)

I agree that if the seller offered for sale an item that included shipping in the price. Then that's the price..

If shipping was included....seller should eat the difference.

I too eat the shipping when the error is mine.

Thanks for the input, I was leaning in the direction of the consensus here too.

I'd tell him the deal is for the original price, or he can pay for it to be shipped back.

shipping included means shipping included.....period.

Seller should have done his homework a little better.

+1 this is what I would do.

I agree 100%
