eBay seller asking for more money for delivery

it's a second hand item, it's not worth paying the difference

if you get a refund keep an eye out to see if she relists it, and for how much
 
Well now she has send she intends to deliver it 'but it'll take a few weeks' I'm going to keep tabs on it. Her estimated delivery date is this Monday 15th, almost inclined to send another message saying I'm looking forward to it arriving around that period
 
The most you can charge for delivery is £9.95 for a buy it now listing. I've just found this out from selling my chair win. It cost £39 to send (which I think is fair given the 29KG of it is being taken to the Isle of Man). It does drive down your gain because nobody will buy from a private seller at the same cost as new from a reputable business vendor, which building that delivery charge into the price would have meant.
I also paid £20 more than I charged for my promised delivery method for my 980ti.

You've got to stick to what you pledged in your listing (unless it's literally impossible to fulfill). I don't think it's moral to ask for more money, it's breaking a promise. It's your fault if you made an error in calculating delivery cost and you have to swallow that cost in my view.

599 100% on Ebay.

It's eBay, people are talking like it's a legally binding contract. Personally I'd tell them to refund me, unless I really thought it was a massive bargain anyway.
 
This is in contravention of basic contractual obligations between 2 parties- it is implied by virtue that the seller posted their items on Ebay- with no reserve- that the intention was to sell them, and to offer the prospective buyer to collect those items. That is a contract under UK law- it doesn't have to be spelt out any clearer than that.

The buyer in this thread won't get his item at the price included posted advertised. It's eBay, this has been happening since it started nearly 2 decades ago. This is like a Usenet post from 1999.
