Slammed with postage due fees

Question

Hi. So this may be a stupid question. But I want to be sure I'm in the right here. I recently bought a toy truck for $65 BIN price and $5 listed for shipping. When my item arrived, It was held at the post office for pickup. Odd...but ok. So I go to my local post office on my lunch break.  Upon my arrival, I'm told that the reason for the hold is the, wait for it....$102 postage due! I've contacted the seller multiple times. Crickets....I offered to eat the $102 postage of the seller refunds...

@fr_120138  No, you are not wrong. eBay can not force the seller to reimburse you if you pay the postage due, but they can force him to issue a full refund if you refuse the delivery. They also can not force him to refund your payment and let you keep the item, although your offer sounds reasonable. I would message the seller 1 more time. Tell him you will refuse delivery and open a not received claim so he can issue a full refund. Plus he will have to pay the postage due in order...
