eBay question

[gypsyunicorn]

I purchased an item and paid what eBay said to pay but seller is asking me for more money. Is this allowed?

Your question is worded a little odd, so I will prevaricate a bit on this one.

If the price and shipping were agreed to in the auction, you bought it and there are no variances between what was agreed to and the current circumstances then you have a contract and they cannot ask for more.

However if something has happened such that the payment is not as per the contract (like eBay has a glitch so the total given to you was not the total per the auction) or you have changed the contract conditions (eg you are now asking to have it shipped a different method, to a different place or you want work done to it before shipping, etc) then they could ask for more.

I hope that all makes sense.

Plus, it might be stated by the seller to contact them before paying to agree on shipping costs, if they are overseas sellers  - or to wait for an invoice before paying. If there is nothing like that stated in the auction, it's like StarFaerie wrote - it's a biding contract on both parties. Did the seller explain why they want you to pay more?

StarFaerie is correct.

It is against eBay policy to ask for more money after the auction has ended. You owe only the winning bid plus the shipping that was stated.  I can only assume that they are asking for more money due to shipping, since your question does not go into much detail. Unfortunately that is there problem, they should have done there homework.
