Personally, I think the guy's just being a jerk. I bought the same item (they're serialized) back in late January & paid. He never shipped it & never responded to my emails. In late February, I see the same item, same serial number, listed for sale again. Keep in mind he still had my money. Complained to ebay, it got cancelled & I was refunded. Then he listed it again.
So I bought it again because I know I'll get my money back if he flakes again. I also did it in part, to irritate him. But also because I want it for my collection.
After I won, I will admit that the charge was listed in the shipping tab, that's why it appeared on the invoice & that's when I looked. But "FREE SHIP" is what he wrote in both the title & description.
He responded like a jerk about forcing me to pay the shipping, didn't address what he thinks "FREE SHIP" really means.
I'm going to just pay because I want it then give him two bad marks on both sales whether or not I ever receive it. The first time he kept my money & never replied. The second, well, I think he deserves it because he was a jerk.
But there's nothing EBay's going to do to address this, is there?
