Quote from: RockinPrettyBeats on October 13, 2012, 04:35:51 AMWell don't be scared to message them. I checked their other listings and no other listings have this weird free shipping option so it looks like a mistake rather than a bad way to list an item. So they just need to be aware that you were allowed to pay for the free shipping. Ask if there is a cheaper way than the express mail option given for international. After that, it's up to you if you think the book is worth the price combined with the shipping cost. In my mind, there were two mistakes made so I see no harm in canceling. They just need to be made aware that this auction you bid on had free shipping as an option. No harm done.what was the other mistake? O_o

You yourself said repeatedly that you made a blunder.
I am sorry I had missed that you had already paid and got the Free Shipping. I thought you were still in the process of completing the transaction. If it was a mistake on her part she may let it ride and ship the book anyways. I guess you will hear from her if she feels there is a problem. I know if it was my mistake I would ship it out anyways and eat the cost. I understand that it says International contact for quote but then why do all her other listings have an exact amount for shipping?I guess you will have to just wait and see.
So it has not been marked shipped?
Hmm..then maybe you should contact her. I would honestly let her know what happened and tell her it allowed you to pay with the Free Shipping option. Like I said she may see her mistake and still honor it.
bagheera - Oh right, the other mistake was them making it as "free".ponylady - For international shipping, I put a quote in there AND I say contact me before hand for exact shipping cost. Some places may cost more. I say this to cover my butt in case the cost ends up shooting up to something crazy. Also, for a few places it ends up being cheaper. It's just a way to play it safe and to get international buyers contact me and get some talking going. Risks are a million times larger with international buyers so I like to start a conversation. And this seems to be a super common method at least with UK sellers. I have cruised UK auctions before and see lots of "contact me for exact cost". Let us know how they respond. I do think it would have been more professional to contact you though since they can't ship it.
That's good news!
Oh well. Maybe she will explain what happened?
