Quote from: ClosetAvalanche on August 18, 2013, 06:38:16 PMthe cost of shipping also includes handling. Your basing your bad feedback on a what-if situation- the stickers got there fine and undamaged, so, imo there are no complaints.Envelopes cost pretty much nothing. I paid for a certain shipping method (First Class Package), so damn right I expect that to be used! These aren't just some random stickers from Walmart, this is a very old mint condition collectible. When I paid $3.95 for shipping, I expected it to be shipped in a bubble mailer with tracking. I did not pay $4 so the seller could pocket an extra $3 and risk destroying the stickers I have spent so long trying to find.The seller refunded me $1 (so they still pocketed $2) and said its 'shipping and handling' and basically told me they overcharge on shipping to make up for fees. Isn't that not allowed, admitting to adding extra to shipping to cover fees? And implying they overcharged me to get gas money too? Should I report them, and if yes how?"The purchase price paid for the stickers is $6.99 - on my end there are listing fees, final value fees from ebay, and yet another fee from paypal to receive money from each buyer every time I sell an item.""I work 6 days a week 8-10 hours a day and still take the time to make sure purchased items are mailed the next day after payment, driving out of my way to the post office (gas is quite expensive these days) rather than leaving things in my mailbox to be mailed so I am sure they get sent out."And thank you lunar_scythe! The hypocrisy of people here is shocking me. If a pony (or a pony sticker) were shipped this way, people would be upset. I cannot believe so many people (who aren't newbies!) in a community of collectors are telling me its fine, I'm overreacting, etc. :/

I don't think Taxel's complaint has anything to do with the stickers arriving damaged or undamaged. It has to do with the fact that a seller charged her way more to ship them then she actually used and admitted that it was to cover fees. That is wrong.
Sarahlacewing - 99% of why I'm so angry is all the people being hypocritical here. I wasn't anywhere near this upset when I first posted this thread and opened the stickers. I was mostly overjoyed to finally have them and that they arrived perfectly. I wasn't even angry at all (upset and disappointed yes, but not angry) until I got flooded with 'you're overreacting', 'that's perfectly fine', etc. If this was about a pony sticker or a pony, people wouldn't be telling me to get over it. As a note, I have been nothing but polite to the seller. I know when I'm upset and I have made sure I'm calmed down and went over my message close to 30 times before I sent it.I think neutral/negative (still not sure which I'll leave) is appropriate. These stickers are a rare out of print collectible, the same as pony stickers are, even if they're a bit younger (although they're still either 12 or 7 years old). This seller charged my $3.95 to shove them in a plain white envelope and drop them in her mailbox (although she claims she drove to the post office, that is not even required and she might not have done it). There is no 'handling' in that, no cost of packing materials and possibly no cost of gas/car wear and tear/etc either. I paid for a *specific* shipping method, and they sent it a completely different, and lesser!, way. They did not accidently forget tracking or accidentally had it sent a different package way, they *deliberately* chose to send it in a plain white envelope."What bothers me is the name calling going on here now, no one who disagrees with the OP's oppinion is calling her names. So why are we being called names and being accused of things?"Saying someone is being hypocritical is not being called a name.
On my blocked bidder list. Did you email the seller in the begining to ask them to send in bubble envelope? The stickers got to you in perfect condition and still you want to trash the seller. Seriously.
