I know it won't count for the entire extra funds, but don't forget "shipping supplies" is often wrapped up into the shipping fee. Some people will actually tax you for the trouble of shipping

Did you agree to any certain carrier? Were you assuming it was going to be FedEx or Ups?

It's simple enough to run the quote on UPS.com - did you bother to do that first?
Totally understandable Harold BUT he didn't ship UPS, he shipped USPS Nextday and it shows the price right on top... $30.55. Now, I've opened her up and there was Styrofoam insulation, shredded newspaper and a snakebag with a beardie. So there was no reason it should've been that expensive in my eyes. In one of my last communications with him, I stated, "i just now realized that you sent USPS and I thought it read UPS..." I did ask him why the shipping was so much and never received a response...BTW...UPS Nextday air by 3pm for a box weighing 1 LB (this box weighs 8.7oz so I am overshooting) is $49.42 that is still a difference of $38.08.

Exactly! Harold did exactly what I did, thought it said UPS so no red flag came up until today when I went back over our e-mails and saw he said USPS.

I think at this point ya'll pretty much agree with my concern, so what I'm going to do now is sit and wait for a response from them and see how that goes. Hopefully all will be well. Hopefully...

Yes we can check change history, but not without knowing what ad you're talking about. Neither that nor the changes made should be posted here though. That would personalize the thread and make it a subject for the BOI and not the shipping forum.

Just to help you out, it may have been edited to put this in "AS OF NOW SHE IS SOLD TO Brandon Roesler"

He also has other sales still pending in that ad.

Correct, but it said was 200... Now 150 when i saw it on the 17th... And good job finding that LOL. Clay says take it to BOI, I want to know if they can see EXACTLY WHAT someone changes when they edit an add before i do... I know what it said without a doubt but can anyone else remember a time when they said the exact same thing and were wrong. I will not start a bad-guy thread unless Clay or Harold or April or I don't care who can do that... Should've taken a screenshot... Will next time for sure.
