Wall-Crawler Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Batman 189 Update 2 Everything has been worked out and the final numbers are Paid $108 USD Sold $211.81 USD So does the sale price include shipping? Or is it extra? How will the book be shipped? The sale price includes shipping because he paid for it. Tracked packet International So did he pay $211.81 USD for the book and shipping or did he pay $211.81 plus actual shipping cost? If shipping was included in the sale price, would this be a fair approximation? $218 (sale price) - $6 (PayPal fee) - $45 (CDN to USD converted shipping cost) = $167 $167 (funds after all fees) - $108 (what you paid for the book) = $59 profit Is that how the deal went down?

He paid $220 plus the actual shipping cost So here's how it went down I wanted 210 Shipped for it, he contacted me and I asked him to give me the address I said that it would cost 10 dollars extra He then sent over 20 dollars instead of 10 because I said it could cost extra as it's just a quote. I went and got the actual quote and he went with the one that Cost $42 USD So I took it away and left him with the difference that he had left to pay $42-20= $22 I told him I felt bad for messing up the first quote so I will give him an $8USD credit for my mistake so it's like he had paid 28 usd $42-28USD = $14 He paid the difference of 14USD and thanked me So these are the final numbers $220 -8.91 PP fee -8 Shipping Credit = $203.09 The rest he paid for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you wanted $210 shipped. Then you found out you couldn't figure out the shipping cost right so you told him to pay you an extra $10 to cover the cost of shipping. Once you got the actual shipping cost you found out you screwed up again and asked him for more money. You ask that he pay you an additional $14 so his grand total came out to be $210+$20+$14 = $244? If that's the case then its sad you didn't honor your price to the buyer. If you stated $210 shipped then it should have been that. The fact you charged the buyer shipping charge after you quoted him a "shipped" price is shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was a bit of a mess next time I'll do it better Good job on making some profit on that book. If you are going to keep selling invest in a digital mailing scale so you can give immediate and accurate shipping quotes. You are lucky the buyer didn't walk away as the cost of shipping kept going up. Some may have gotten annoyed with that and wanted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back and forth regarding the shipping charges was not very professional. I think if he stated he would send the book out for $210 shipped then he should have stuck to that. I know he could care less for advice from boardies since he thinks he knows what he is doing and every mess is just another "i'll do better next time" type experience but after a couple years of this when is he actually going to do better?
