What should I do?

I bought a watch on ebay and the seller requested paypal.

Being a novice I paid using instant paypal and paypal immediately deducted from my credit card the amount of the purchase.

I then received an email from the seller that since I had used paypal I would have to pay an additional charge before he would ship. Feeling I had no choice I paid the extra charge.

The seller instantly shipped and delivered the correct goods.

I gave the seller a neutral rating because of this extra charge. Now the seller has contacted me to change my neutral rating.

I now understand now that this is common to charge extra fees on ebay without advertising the fact.

BTW for you sellers out there, I was actually in the market for three rolexes. A ND Sub for my grandson $4000, $9000 Date Sub for my son and a $12000 Daytona for me. I was only waiting to make sure the transaction went ok before ordering the other watches. I bought the Date sub from a local AD and the Daytona from Brick and Motor Dealer with online presence.

Sorry for the hit.....If the seller allows paypal and does not disclose the additional 3% or so if paying with paypal, then the seller should not request the xtra $$$.
I would have given him a poor rating.

My recommendation: Buy the rest of the watches you are seeking here on the forum....many, many satisfied friends.

Welcome to the forum by the way

I think you're generous for giving him a neutral rating when did not declare you need to pay an extra fee for using paypal, after HE requested it as the payment method.

I agree with this. The seller should have figured out beforehand what the full costs of shipping would be. His or her poor planning should not have resulted in your additional fees. Offer to remove the neutral rating if the seller is willing to eat the additional costs.

Thanks for the help.

I tried to post in the "For Sale / Wanting To Buy" but wasn't allowed.

I do have another grandson who in a few years will be able to handle a Rolex and that will allow me to buy one for him and get another for myself.

Again thanks

File a complaint with Ebay and PayPal.
Get your money back and deal with TempoKing or DavidSW

Welcome to the forum and sorry for your e-bay experience.

It is illegal for an e-bay seller to do what he did.

File a complaint with e-bay and request your money back.

Better yet, e-mail your seller and tell him your intentions and you'll see how quickly he returns your funds.

dukester · 2 December 2009, 02:15 PM

I would return the watches and request to get my money back! Also, where did you get the below prices from? I am no expert but they seem high to me for the described watches....

ND Sub $4,000
Sub Date $9,000
Daytona $12,000

It is strictly against ebay's TOS to request additional monies because of the payment method.

It's even illegal for a seller to mention "add 3% if paying with PayPal) in his ad.
