Hi All,

Could anyone please help me as i am new to Ebay, what can we do if a seller increase the item +shipping cost after we raised a bid .

Ex: yesterday i raised a bid for an item on 5USD... but tomorrow the seller may increase the price upto 8USD and shipping cost too...

However if we won the game of auction it is not fair to the final amount that we agreed to pay the initial amount that was on the beginning of auction...

Please help me for this..

thanking you all

If this is an Auction the seller cannot increase the shipping charges once there is a bid. Also, sellers cannot increase a bid, but other buyers can.

Being that you are located where you are, could it be that you just didn't have the correct shipping address entered until after you had won the auction?

What do you mean by that? If it's an auction, you don't pay what it started at - you pay(if you won) at what it ENDED at.

OP knows that. It's just more Sri Lankans thinking that posts to these forums, "helpfuls" given and received, and "badges" earned is the equivalent of seller / buyer feedback, and that they're building seller / buyer reputation and visibility with their random activity here. It's the bill of goods they've been sold.
