Since about 1.8 US Dollars make a UK Pound; 180 GBP (Great Britain Pound) are equal to 327 USD (United States Dollar)... \n\n$327/ 1.8= 181.6\n\nSince your seller is in UK, they probably must have converted the currency from US Dollar to UK Pound for his (seller) convenience. The currency conversion rates vary from time to time (almost daily)... so when you brought the purse, the currency conversion must have come down to $327.\n\nFor more info on current conversion rates and exchange, check out these site:\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/currency\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_rate

I'm pretty sure that violates some eBay listing policy, so I wouldn't expect it to last until the end of the auction, BUT...\n\nIf they say "'one' of the denominations isn't X" that pretty much means that  the others are (a joke fully covered on an episode of Scrubs, just in case you couldn't figure it out for yourself).\n\nSo, if there are 30 bills ("at least 30" means 30), only two denominations and "one" isn't a single and "one" isn't a five, I'd say there are probably 29 ones and one five. If they want more than 34 bucks, they're ripping you off.\n\n\nEDIT: the other responder missed something--it doesn't say there are at least ten bills of EACH denomination, it says there will be no less than ten bills of ONE of the denominations. $34.

well you simply dont ship it until you receive funds, make sure its through paypal. dont accept a cashier or bank check, they look real and can fool the banks as well until weeks later when they retract your funds. Just get a shipping confirmation, when the item is delivered he will have to sign for it, its only a few dollars, and well worth it

I'm assuming the auction has already ended and you can no longer simply retract your bid and move on.\n\nWhat was the shipping, and was it explicitly stated in the auction?  If the charges were stated and the seller then accurately charged only what was stipulated in the auction, then you're at the mercy of the seller to release you from the contract.\n\nIf the seller is asking for money in addition to all the costs stated in the auction, then he is breaking the rules and you need to inform eBay of the situation.  Sellers may not jack up the price after the fact because they were hoping for more money.  On the other hand, you can't just not pay because you didn't read the auction.\n\nIn all likelihood, though, if it was an extremely low price for the item and there's an outrageous shipping charge, what the seller is doing is avoiding paying eBay's final value fees so he can maximize his profit, and the shipping is actually what he's selling the item for.  Unfortunately, while this is a type of fee avoidance which eBay says isn't allowed, they refuse to do anything about it, even when it's an egregious abuse... so you're boned on that front.  Even more unfortunately, as most sellers who engage in that tactic are ultimately only interested in their own bottom line and are perfectly willing to screw eBay to put more money in their pockets, it generally means they're willing to do the same thing to you, too, so you're probably either going to have to pay, or take the unpaid item strike and the negative feedback which goes with it.\n\nSorry.

With it being a mistake on her part, you can file a complaint on ebay.  Unfortunately, nothing will likely come of it.\n\nYour best course of action is to threaten with negative feedback and she may credit it back

let the buyer beware. You can do some homework. Does he have any feedback? positive or negaive? can you purchase item through Paypal? that will give you certain rights, but there may be dollar ammount limits. Ebay has a safeharbor that allows you to resolve many problems with buyers. Is the item underpriced to coax you into buying it, or is it in line with other vendors? Is the seller insisting on cash in the mail? Don't do that! Not traceable! I suggest you take your time. I've bought some pricey items there, never had a problem, I've also asked many questions to the sellers, including for more photes, to authenticate the item being what it is listed as, shipping costs, and more details.  Earnest sellers want to please you and show you exaclty what they have to offer. \nI have also had a few items that were not up to specs. Communication with the sellers, in a non-threatening but assertive way usually can get the problem solved, but on a few occasions I had to use e-Bay's and PayPal's dispute resolution centers. \nAdditionally, I rate any ebay experience, and if it is not satisfactory I reflect that. I report abuse and wrongdoing to try to prevent it from happening again.\nI've been very happy with ebay.Good luck!

Contacting eBay would do no good.  If the bill has been handed over to a debt collector, the account now belongs to the debt collector, not eBay.\n\nYou will need to deal directly with the bill collector at this point.\n\nI'm not sure how the bill went from £6 to £171 - that seems a little extravagant.\n\nWhatever you ultimately settle with the bill collector for payment, I would suggest having you son pay it entirely.  It will be a good lesson to him, and I'm sure he will be much more careful in his future financial dealings.  This could be the best thing that happens to him!  (Better a £171 mistake at 16, than a £10,000 mistake at 25!)\n\nGood luck!\n\n~ ♥ ~

From one seller to another... I can give you this advice. If all you sell are jeans... Use a flat rate priority box. Ship within the U.S. only! Out of country is too much hassle and transit times are too inconsistant as well and you can't track it. - or so they tell me at the post office. Or if you truly want them to find out their exact shipping each and every hasseling time, you can get scales. And tell them you will combine shipping, but you will have to let them know at auction's end. See? Flat rate, there are never ever problems. You can put one or two pairs in there. (And that is usually all the buyer will get anyways) ...No worries on negatives or neutrals. I have been on there for three years, and pretty soon, you can almost learn to guesstimate if you don't want to use flat rate. I know someone who ships more items within a region than anyone else thru USPS from Ebay and he actually has a USPS Rep. calling him to tell him she will come to his house to set up exactly what the post office uses! Maybe directly ask them or call them. Not your local post office. They surely don't know nearly as much! Hope I have helped.

You're not going to like this, but no. NO! and NO again.\n\nI suggest looking at the help section more closely. eBay deals with a crapload of situations much like yours on a daily basis. Its actually the person bidding on your items' fault.\n\nYou don't need a person to credit your fvf, you can do it yourself at the help section.

Hello: I already sent you the money, I paid you this money from my paypal address, I didn't buy that coin it was my partner and I made the payment, he was the one that bounced (booted, kicked out, threw out, rejected) you, not me.  I pay for the purchases since he does not have a paypal account.  Cheers.\n\nNote: moneda can refer to both currency and an actual coin.  I'm guessing that this was regarding the sale of a coin, and that's why I've translated moneda as coin in one place and money in another.  Am I right in my assumption?

it's a scam DO NOT SEND THE ITEM. report everything to ebay you will not get the money if you send the item! In future be wary of any buyer who wants you to ship to africa and don't circumvent the checking out service

no matter what currency..See what your country's currency equals in the UK. Is going to be enought to cover what you want or are u just depleting an account or just transferring money for whatever reason...I would say have the transfer made in UK currency..Otherwise you would have to convert it to use it...let them do it and now you know exactly how much UK money u have..Just a suggestion...Good Luck

If it's too good to be true, it probably is" as the saying and you say.  \n\nYahoo! finance does not do this.  They state different companies do this, craigslist, ebay, google.  They are not a middleman.  \n\nWestern Union is your tip-off.  A person only has to have their name on the money and can pick it up.  They don't even have to show ID!    So if you send it to Yahoo!finance, care of Andrew Smith, he gets your money and there is no traceability.  Bye -bye money.  \n\nI would shut-off all contact immediately.  I played a game with an Andrew in the UK on craigslist about 6 months ago for a $40,000 car he was offering for $14000.  Same story as yours above.  I told him the only way I could pay him was with a certified cashiers check for $19000.  Use $2000 to cover shipping and I need to have the $3000 over that sent back to me.  I reversed the situation back on them as to what they were trying to do to me.  Never heard from him again, but I reported the e-mail address to yahoo at abuse@yahoo.com and to craigslist, who promptly removed the ad.\n\nAnd they can give you a tracking number easily.  "I have shipped the vehicle via Universal car shippers out of London.  Your tracking number is bs1423-34v-23fd-3432."  How do you know if that's real?  You are only going to check it when you don't get the merchandise.  \n\nContact a customer service person at Yahoo!finance and ask them if it's legit.

You asked for a new one? So does everyone else. You won't get a new one, so just give that up.\n\nDo you have an ID number for the transaction? If so, then good. Sounds like they have a backlog as this is longer than normal. Keep calling and complaining and it WILL get you moved along faster..

One good way to tell if snail-mail is junk or a scam or whatever... look at the stamp and the cancellation.  If it says first class mail then it was probably (at least) addressed specifically to you.  If it says anything about bulk mail, about 10,000 other people got the exact same thing, and its worthless.\n (pre-sorted is pretty much the same as bulk mail)\n\nIt can't hurt to call them or check their website if your curious AS LONG AS YOU DON'T GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL INFORMATION. If they ask for any fees or anything like that up front, drop them like a hot potato.

SCAM. Pay the 1600 and it shows as paid after 30 days. They can't pull it off until the scheduled date (seven years after it was posted) Dont let them do that to you. Tell them you want to be assured in writting that the entry will be completely removed from your CR. Until then, keep ur 2400 inyour wallet. Those Jerks.
