I'm pissed off!
I won a streetfighter tail on ebay on the 20th of Jan. It was located in Austria and was dirt cheap. Once I finally got hold of the seller, (who was away for a week when the auction ended), he tells me he didn't realise he'd have to post it to Australia so the worldwide postage the quote would be doubled.
I was still happy with the price so I agreed to pay the double postage. Turns out he doesn't have paypal so I have to do an international money transfer which has a $30 fee. OK the price is working it's way up now but it's still cheaper than I can get it here for. I send him the cash.
A week or so later I get and email saying it's too big to post and will have to be freighted at extra cost. The extra cost being 12 times more than the postage I had already payed.
I try afew other ways to get it here, but none that work out financail viable. We decide to cancel the transaction and he was to give me a refund.
As if I wasn't dissapointed enough already, but by the time the money gets into my account I only get one third of what I originally paid.
I just got off the phone with the bank, who contacted the treasury on my behalf. They say that the transaction went through several banks and they all took their fees out that's all I'm entitled to.
So it has taken me seven weeks to reduce my money by two thirds and not have any parts to show for it.
FUCKING RIP OFF CUNTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(
