Leave neutral or who cares

I know I'm late to the horse beating, but if the seller is going to talk to you about the cost of doing business- then I believe its up to you about the cost of doing business by not shipping tracked on ebay. While the Final Value Fees are high, a "lost" product and a refund is more costly. It might fix his behavior or give him pause in the future.

Thats if you want to be petty about him getting defensive.

Ordered $100 card from Canada and paid $12 something in shipping. Guy ships untracked. He is confused why I am upset at this.

He may learn a hard lesson if it doesn't show -- been 20 days.

Def not good, tracking should always be added for that much and insured. You have a couple days yet, but I would not wait to much longer to file.

I already opened the case -- just waiting before asking eBay to step in.

Not sure if I'm buying his argument -- he has very low feedback but stated to me that he always ships the cards from his breaks. Curious comment to make.

Was it the B orr Auto?

If so the seller selling as much as they are should know better regardless of FB.

It was a Clear Cut Canvas Lukas Dostal Auto. Very cool photo of him in the tunnel before the game.

Frustrating as I'm more interested in the card than the cash.

Had a seller ship a ground advantage package in an envelope. What say y'all? You leaving a negative or a neutral? Personally, I'm thinking neutral. It was a $90 card. How do you not put that in a bubble mailer? It feels very careless.

Since the card wasn't damaged, I would just put in the feedback that you were overcharged shipping. And when you rate the seller, you can give them 1 star for shipping cost.

You won't find a consensus here but I'm of the opinion that if a certain specific shipping method is listed, that's the way it should be shipped. I don't know why people give eBay users slack they wouldn't give to other websites - if I buy something off Topps and pay for two day shipping, if they ship it Ground, I'm requesting a refund for the difference.

On eBay it only gets sticky if they have a generic shipping method but if it says Advantage, or Priority, etc. and that's what I pay for, and they ship a cheaper method, I'm going to message them to see if they will do anything to fix it and if they don't I think that's worth a neutral even if the card came safely. To me there is a difference between over-charging shipping and not shipping the paid for method. If I knowingly pay $20 for shipping, and I get the package shipped the correct method but it was $6, that's just on me and something I can factor in when purchasing the item.

So you paid for GA and he/she shipped using the GA shipping service, but shipped in a PWE type envelope and the card arrived undamaged? Neutral would be understandable, personally I probably wouldn't leave any but would let them know he/she needs to do better.

This is the most accurate interpretation. I paid for GA and they shipped GA, but they shipped in an envelope. The card arrived undamaged, but I don't feel it should be glossed over.

I definitely let them know they should do better and that I won't be buying from them again. Leaving nothing is suitable. I felt a negative was too strong because it came back undamaged. I wanted to see what others thought. Thanks!
