Outrageous MRE Auction

Post by jfko6 » Fri Jul 25, 2008 11:49 pm

This evening I found a relatively small number of MRE components for sale with excessive shipping charges attached.

I decided to send a complaint to E-Bay.

I recommend you all do it too.

Here's how to do it:

1. Goto the actual auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/MRE_W0QQitemZ280249 ... dZViewItem

2. See outrageous shipping charge of $25.00
3. Scroll to bottom of auction
4. Click: Report this item

Items to select:
Listing Policy Violation - Excessive shipping
Detailed Reason: Other
Additional Information: Miscategorized
Send Report

You gotta love those eBay sellers with 1 feedback. I understand everyone has to start somewhere, but just don't start off being an a$$hole seller.

I agree that he's padded the shipping fee, but why are you getting him for being "Miscategorized"?

Turns out the E-Bay seller I brought to everyone's attention received no bids.
