One time I paid to much, and the seller put a dollar in with the item. Now that's cool. So I left a hell of a feedback. Then, I had the chance to be cool, so when I sold a item that I thought had a CD ROM inside, but it didn't ( because I didn't want to break the factory seal to look), I send a full refund, and told the lady to keep the item. She was very new to eBay, and I didn't want to discourage her.

Peter, This also is a pet peve of mine and is getting to be more the "norm" the last year or two. Unfortunately it is not limited to Ebay! It is abused by a few sellers (one in particular) who post here on the CR list. Take an item that the postage is clearly marked on the envelope $1.06 and then charge your credit card (without permission because they kept in on file for over a year) for $8.00 And then were too cheap to send it USPS Priority, usually about 10 cents more than 1st class, Anyway!
Other than personally black listing the seller, what can you do? Really, I'm interested in your opinion. Scott, I share your frustration, Ramsay Kernersville, NC
Don't know if I'm too sensitive to this, but since when does a shipper get paid for his labor on shipping, and be able to profit on his shipping as this Ebayer might.
