A store I made a purchase at charged me a restocking fee,...?

You really wouldnt have a case.  Even though the manager didnt explain to you that there was a restocking fee, normally when you purchase something that big, they charge a 15% re-stocking fee.  Either because they will loose money from a future sale or because they have to pay overtime to someone who have to put it back.  Check the papers you signed for the furniture.  It should state in there that there is a 15% re-stocking fee for returned items.  If not, then you will have a case.

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.

There are some companies that will let you order items and then send them to you COD.  There is an extra charge for this.  Check with who you want to buy from

Go to the shop or phone if you've got a number.\n\nI think the price isn't even the same in all Virgin shops - I've seen things on special offer in one that weren't in another

Contact the company you placed your order with and complain that you paid for 2 day service and still haven't gotten your order.  They will most likely give you some kind of credit.

It depends.  If he outlined the shipping policy in his Return Policy section of the auction, then you have to pay the shipping.  If he didn't, you could file a claim and ask for 100% of the transaction back, but that could take 30 days or more. Depends on how much of a hurry you are in.

If they were purchased on 3 different transactions, it shouldn't be a problem. You can make corrections on the address listed on the circuit city receipt without any problems. I had to do this last year, as they put the city the store was located in as "my" city.

First, it's "..overcharged THEIR customers. Will THERE be a refund?"\n\nThere's no indication that there will be any refunds forthcoming.

(Im in the UK, but hopefully its too different in the USA)  \n\nYou have the right to ask who their 'governing body' is and they MUST tell you.\n\nThen tell the company that either they assist you with your problem in a reasonable manner or you will need to go to their governing body.\n\nI would write to the retail company (send it recorded delivery) as you will find that MOST companies request that any complaints be put in writing (this is what they do to make it that little bit harder and time consuming - its done on purpose!!!)  but either way if you email or write  put whatever the problem is to them, and then tell them what you want the outcome to be (dont mess around, if, for example you want a refund, tell them this in no uncertain terms, if you want a replacement, tell them this in no uncertain terms) and then give a deadline for them to respond  to your reqeust (normally 10 working days is acceptable)  (their response may not nescessarily mean RESOLVE - they may send you a letter of acknowledgement saying that they have recieved your letter and will respond to your letter with regard to your complaint within (i.e.) 10 working days etc etc) and then you simply wait for their response, but ensure that, if you do not get a response that you act, as they may be hoping that you 'cant be bothered to take it further' (believe it or not, some companies work on this basis - the consumer not being 'bothered' to uphold their rights')\n\nIf you do need to go further then the fact that you have given the retail company ample time and a chance to resolve the issue already will show as a credit on you to the 'governing body'.  \n\nBy the way - if this retail company offers you anything, for example a 'gift voucher' etc then if you accept this then you are accepting to put an end to the situation and there is no more you can do (WITHOUT PREJUDICE) - so if you want a FULL refund, or a REPLACEMENT then dont accept anything until AFTER you have got what you wanted!!!\n\nBut throughout it all and with EVERYONE you contact regarding this issue then be clear asto what EXACTLY you want and also, give reasonable time limits asto when you expect a response (otherwise they will push it as far they can!!)\n\nGOOD LUCK     -    I hope this helps, but please remember....... this is based on how it would work in the UK

If they want their merchandise back, tell them you will return it when they get a "REPLEVIN" order from the court.  This will cost them money, so they'll probably not bother.\n\nUntil they get that order, don't give them anything.

No that irratates me. If I pay cash, and i was not happy with the item, I would expect cash back. What if the store doesnt have anything else I like, then they basically get to keep the crappy item and my money. Cash back or i dont shop in the first place.

About four years ago, I purchased a laptop computer online using my credit card with Bestbuy.com.  The laptop cost approximately $1,000.  Upon receiving the laptop, I discovered it did not have a feature that I understood it was to have.  \n\nSo I returned the laptop to Bestbuy.com.  They refunded my credit card in full.  Then a short time later they refunded my credit card a second time.  WOW an extra $1,000.  But values and a conscience would not allow me to keep the funds.  I made contact with BestBuy.  Actually I contacted them three times before they actually accepted the refund back.\n\nSome folk thought "their loss, your gain."  For myself I would have lost my sense of integrity knowing the money was not mine.  I believe values with an attitude of simplicty still have an impact on the world in which we live.

Not suppose to. Go to your main post office and ask one of the clerks for best way. Don't forget, The small price of merchandise return receipt is worth it in the long run. Don't want someone claiming not to have gotten product with no proof of delivery.

In other words, you lied and are now asking are you going to get caught?\n\nUnless the person you bought it from is willing to lie for you, and there is no record of what you paid (check, bank withdrawals, deposits, etc.) you should pay the fees.\n\nIf you tell more lies and they do investigate, they may very well put you in prison AND charge  you the fees.\n\nIt's your call; but,  I'd pay the fees.

Depending on situations- Is there anything that refers to this situation in the " terms of agreement "?\nIs there any indication that remaining merchandise is on back order? B/O\nIf so that business can not refuse shipment.
