i won a cute missoni top on ebay for possibly less than i should have. i asked the seller before the auction ended how much shipping was in the us and she told me $5. well i asked for an invoice today, and she sent it to me and had $8 shipping on it. should i just shut up and pay the extra $3 because thats still a great price, or argue because of the principal of it. she's probably pissed the shirt didn't sell for more, and i dont want to anger her. she's fairly new to ebay but not super new (under 100 feedbacks). i am leaning towards just paying it, because i want the damn shirt! what would YOU do?
I dont think it is out of line at all to ask for an explaination for the three dollars- when you list a price, at the end of bidding -you should be bound by the price listed. We are obligated to pay amount , they should be obligated to contract for amount stated. I would very politely ask for an explaination, it doesnt matter what kind of deal you recieved- but thats just me.

I agree, you could just ask. If she says no, just pay it, but if you don't ask the answer is definately no. And $3 is a Starbucks coffee. Well, almost

i just paid it. believe me, i can be cheap and in most cases would have asked, but i just sensed that it would be best to pay it and not cause problems or delays (took her two days at least to send first invoice)
