So the original arrangement was he post to me, as I couldn’t collect off him. Straight after I paid the price plus post for delivery he said he travels to London / soho so could actually bring it in and drop it to me. Which he didn’t in the end. As I had to go and collect off a third party.
Just irks me a bit.. I know it’s fairly petty. Just feels off as well because if it was me I wouldn’t consider charging full p&p if I was meeting someone to collect. he was in the area anyway so not like he had to buy a train ticket down! Ebay also said the ‘right’ thing to do would be that he refund a portion of the p&p. They actually offered to email him for me but I refused, cos of feeling petty etc.

you could be a cunt and open an item not received case. I think within ten mins the post would be refunded...

I think it all hinges on whether collecting from the daughter was decided for you, with no alternative, or whether it was something that was floated and you agreed to. Former, ask eBay to step in, later, wouldn't worry about it, as annoying as it is.

This is the right answer unfortunately. I presume you agreed to collect from the Daughter and the seller felt the deal to be closed, then later you realised that the arrangement with the postage fee wasn't quite what you expected? Lesson learned, get the terms sorted up front before agreeing anything. Nerging the seller in this case is petty unless the item is not as described and they won't sort it out.
