Customer Service??

I emailed a seller today about a marine radio.  The auction showed shipping at $44+ to get it from south CA to the Kansas City area.  Knowing that most marine radios weight is around 4-5 lbs when boxed, as a amateur radio operator I have sold a few.  I punched it all in on the USPS website, and it said it would cost $11.10 to ship it Priority Mail.  So I asked why the shipping was so high, and got the following email back...

Response from dubya1951
Item: ICOM M-127 MARINE VHF RADIO (260134755656)

Hi I was wondering how you calculated the shipping charge, did you factor in the size of the box. That would be pretty hard for you to do since you do not know the size or the weight. I have had many e-bay sales with no complaint of the shipping charges. So do me a favor go whine to somebody else and do not bid on my stuff. Dan

Ps, I noticed your feedback score was 96 %. That sir is the lowest I have ever seen. Get lost!!!!!!!!


Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I will sure not be buying anything from DUBYA 1951 !!!

Yes, be very, very glad you did not buy from Dubya1951 -- with an attitude like that, it could only be bad news if something went wrong....

Wow, that was a rude response for what appears to be a simple question. I forsee a transaction nightmare if you deal with that seller. Be happy you have no business dealings with that attitude! :P

We all know why these sellers do this - $$$. eBay doesn't get a cut of the shipping charges. The seller was called on it and he got defensive. The true mark of the guilty when caught.
