Yup but I will get it removed as I have a full audit trail and I record my own calls for this sort of thing so I have clear statements of fact when it comes to who said what when. Frankly I could stop using eBay tomorrow and I would lose no sleep. I never sell by it, I purely use it to buy home computers to add to my collection, that is all I have ever used it for.

No THAT is my problem.
To be clear as it seems people are missing this.
1: The postage price on the advert was CLEARLY £9.99. I look at the advert now as I can and it's STILL showing £9.99. I click on the eBay non payment notification, I get to the advert and it STILL shows £9.99, I have it printed off as further proof.
2: The price I won the item for has not changed, I am happy to pay that as I would be the £9.99 for shipping. I bid £100 first off, I didn't watch it, I saw it, dropped my £100 bid on (it was £32 at the time) and went about my week. I won the item at £72.01 so less that I was happy to pay and had I been outbid my next bid would have been £200.
3: The price on my invoice is £49.99 for delivery.
The 3 above are all facts. I am not mistaken, I did not read it wrong, I am not missing something, there was no small print, there was no mention anywhere of a £49.99 delivery price.
It doesn't work, eBay have confirmed it doesn't work so little point spending ages on it. Various things happen, but be confident this bit we can move on from.

When you go to pay with PayPal is it asking for £122 or £82?
Does the advert say anywhere the postage is a placeholder e.g. it's expected to cost more than £9.99 to ship?

So cut this from my screen a few moments back. Trust me the only thing anywhere that states 49.99 postage is my invoice or when I got to pay now via Paypal.
and
I get it could be an error by the seller, but when I can't reach the seller and find the seller advertising it again under a new big, within a few hours of me winning before he would have had any idea I was going to be concerned about the postage hike and on speaking to eBay seeing they have asked him to remove it does indicate something a bit off is going on I feel.

See above.

I fear you are correct, it's just a pain in the backside as I hate someone trying it on and not being able to deal with it. But Ive lost the emotion now, Ive moved on
That is weird, I thought the whole postage cost was automated at Ebays end. So when you list the item you have to input the postage cost you want to charge and when auction ends the buyer pays and all the invoice etc is automatically done. How is he able to manually alter the postage costs after the auction has ended. Ebay arent telling you the full story here, have you actually spoken to their customer services?
Yes and 20% of the conversation i think they understood. Classic off shore experience, polite but utterly useless.

You can change the postage after an auction ends. It's meant so the seller can offer a faster postage option or international postage. If you paid immediately it would have shown the 9.99 but he's obviously got in there first and revised the invoice.
I'm not sure there's much you can do now other than report him, whatever good that does. He clearly isn't a seller who can be trusted so he's probably done you a favour.

Never knew it worked that way, that's crazy. Wonder what his motives are?
I have just tried and it seems I can now contact him so sent him this...
xxxxx,
Why have you raised a non payment case against me? I tried to connect you about my issue but I could not against the item. I won your bid and on winning you changed the postage from 9.99 to 49.99 and also relisted the item. This happened before I had chance to do anything. If you put the postage back to 9.99 it would be paid in an instance.
I raised a case with eBay straight away and well before you raised a non payment case as I was unable to contact you against the item. I would happily pay at the agreed price and 9.99 delivery, but I am unable to to that and I won't pay your ludicrous 49.99 delivery charge.
Over to you.

Well let's see what he comes back with, no loss to me so frankly just a warning to others that no matter how many positive reviews a person might have they can still act in an unreasonable manner. The you won email came through at 20:49 on the 16th, the invoice arrived on 19:54 on the 17th.
Thanks to those fellows from this fine forum who have contacted me via trust. I appreciate you taking the time but I don't want it to get out of hand. As I say in the grand scale of life it's nothing, just hate people trying it on and then acting indignant when they don't get away with it. I has haven't put the persons details on the forum and I would prefer it stays that way, I'll deal with it and close it down.
