I live in the UK (northern Ireland) but now the seller is asking for £24 postage. The item only cost £14!
Surely he has to post for the price quoted for UK delivery as I live in the UK and he didn't specify any variations?
I have tried to contact eBay for further info but that is like trying to contact any large company, almost impossible.

Recently I bought a PC (Tower only) on eBay which was bought from a seller in N.Ireland. I paid £10 for delivery via DHL.

P&P becomes very important when the item only costs £14.
£10 delivery was good from here. We usually get well ripped of by companies not just eBay. I stopped using Dabs for that reason because it would almost have been cheaper to fly over and collect the parts myself

I buy quite a lot from them and it almost all seems to come by Royal Mail who presumably charge the same?

I will wait until I have calmed down tomorrow before deciding on wether or not to make a complaint to eBay, if I can find the option.

"Lesson leaned you cheeky git, If you think Ill be paying you £10 to have the monitor your having a laugh. YOu obviously do this all the time, which is why you missed the country out of your address.
Uk ond UK ireland are different things to all postak systems and you know it.
Anyway, I have found a carrteir for the £9, so its on its way.
Dont bid on anything of mine again."
Didn't realize eBay doesn't list UK on my address. Surely the fact that I have a UK postcode is a dead giveaway

If at all possible avoid confirming you have it until you've checked it out.
If there's a problem and you need to claim via PayPal they will insist you send it back, usually at your expense (unless it's a business seller when distance selling regs apply), to get a refund via them.
Non-delivery is different.
I stupidly tried to claim for something that was sent to me from a seller listed as in the UK but that actually came from the USA and the wrong item was shipped. Despite the blatant fraud eBay/PayPal INSISTED I sent it back using a TRACKABLE service to the USA. It had NOT been sent to me using a trackable service, just cheap US Mail. I've learnt my lesson.
PS It's The United Kingdom (UK) of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. That includes Shetland and the Scillies too, but NOT the Channel Islands.
Your seller is a rude ignorant idiot.

I will not be leaving any feedback or confirming any delivery until the item is fully tested and working as stated in the listing.

Ebay & Paypal disputes take forever (and I do mean forever..... 3 - 4 months + ) to get down to a result of some sort.... so don`t expect your money back next week....
If you have copied the text of the message from the seller, letter for letter, then it looks like he/she is not very well educated, and uses "strange" language. The presentation of your facts in a logical manner will, I am sure, help in your claim (if you go that route)
Good Luck....
DO NOT leave any feedback at all..... You don`t have to... .... do you leave messages outside your local shop,/ bus stop/ pub/ cafe/ etc..... to influence people? If you do go to dispute, your words in the feeback section (and any response from the seller) will be included in the "investigation"....

The text from the seller was copied and pasted directly from the email.
I always keep all communications and will happily dispute this one if it comes to that!

Quote from: 4Candles Indeed, Royal Mail/Parcelforce charge the same for all the UK, and will shift a hell of a weight for £24.
Not quite; Parcelforce prices for account customers are divided in to three different delivery zones for the United Kingdom. So companies such as Dabs, who would have an account with them (if they even use PF, I don't know), would have to pay more to send something to Northern Ireland.

Everything recently, admittedly not too heavy (but often big) has been brought by the normal postie.
Other stuff I get comes via various couriers, HDNL being by far the most frequent.
