Hello,
I haven't much used Ebay, but now I ordered some gear on Ebay.
I paid via PayPal complete with shipping and got a receipt and all, and Ebay lists it sold to me and paid etc.
So...when will there be...or will there be....any information on shipping status etc available?
It just seems after a few days that there is no further info on it, just that it's paid for and that's it...no idea when it will ship or arrive or how.
Since it's a power seller selling I suppose they don't as a rule just send out details, but usually when I've bought stuff from the U.S. there's been plenty of emails on the status, links to UPS tracking etc. so this no contact/info whatsoever seems strange.
Is it normal on Ebay that you don't get any specifics until the item just arrives?
Also, it's annoying that on the sale page the shipping to Finland was quoted as $14 but when I actually paid it it jumped to $26 without any explanation or options. Annoying that they quote wrong costs until the very payment when you've already had to confirm the purchase based on what you *thought* will be the shipping costs...
I dunno. Seems like the whole Ebay thing is just a big scam right now...bad way to make business, cheating on purchase costs info and no info on the status after you pay.
