I bought a thick M&S winter fleece on Ebay, advertised as new but unworn, a measly £6.99 was my winning bid. It was for collection, 10 miles away, but the seller and I couldn't synch times. The seller then offered to post it to me, hmm, this would weigh a bit and I didn't want it for nothing, so I offered to pay for any postage.
Didn't get a reply, or the fleece for a week, so I sent a gentle reminder asking if it had been posted and what sum I owed for said posting. I got reply saying it had been posted 2nd class so may take a while, no mention of postage fees, those that I was more than happy to pay.
Then, I got a card from the PO saying the parcel could not be delivered until I paid the £3.80 cost. Ok, fair enough, but why not just accept the cost from me in the first place? Anyway..............I go to the PO depot and pick up the parcel and pay the £3.80.
The seller had used 6 x £1 stamps, previously used stamps, stamps removed carefully with scissors from used envelopes, and then sellotaped over, onto the parcel. Why, why, why, would anybody do this?
Oh, the pocket interiors were "bobbled" too, it was well worn..............
