VENT...greedy eBay gougers!

Post by 808 Vibes »

So much for "free shipping" claim on the listing. They want $21 for an item that costs $28. For a freakin' pillow. I'd order it directly from the website, but it says they're neither taking calls nor orders. I've explained all this to another eBay seller of same item, who also claims "free shipping" and I'm still waiting to see what they say. This shipping gouging is why I stay away from eBay. If I sent someone in New York a 6-lb. box of rocks, it would cost me the same as if they sent me a 6-lb. box of rocks. Nobody here sells the stupid thing. If I do get this, let it be the last time I ever deal with eBay

It is years that the community at Ebay has been complaining about crazy shipping prices but Ebay doesn't do anything about it.

Second seller said they would do the same thing. I'm still searching online for it, while I suffer in back pain...

Yeah, I'm sure of that. They make it a small tempting price then take us to the cleaners on the shipping

so I emailed the seller again (getting kind of desperate for my pillow) and asked WHAT KIND of shipping would that $21 be for- priority, first class, or boat...I got no reply, so oh well, turns out they don't want my $50 after all.

Quote, originally posted by HawaiiPontiacLover »YepThat may be why it costs so much for shipping! You are in HI, those things are not light, and take up a decent amount of space. On a side note, to get by anything that can be used to apply pressure to and or above your sacral area will help with the pain. During birth, sometimes a supportive staff member such as an RN or Midwife will apply pressure to the mother's back and this counters the pressure from the fetus passing through the birth canal.Make sure to drink fluids, elevate your lower extremities to reduce edema (swelling), and start wearing some comfortable running/walking shoes that provide arch support as it will help with alignment of your spine.
