I'm dragging this thread from the recesses of history rather than starting a new one.
I won, and subsequently paid for, an auction for some Mavic shoes. The listing stated free postage however the seller has now contacted me stating ebay automatically relisted the item after a previous auction where the winner didn't pay. They are saying that the listing price was incorrect (should be £50 and not £40 as on the auction I won) and that the postage should be £11 and not free. They are asking me to pay the extra £11 or mutually retract from the auction.
Where do I stand on this? I don't want to retract and I don't want to pay the extra £11. I want the shoes for the £40 I've paid. Unfortunately I don't think the seller's obliged to send the shoes as if I don't agree to pay the extra they'll just make up some excuse about losing the shoes and no longer being able to sell them.
If it comes to it I'll pay half the postage as £40 is a decent price but I'm loath to spend £11 as a) the listing stated it was free and b) £11 is a rip off!
Any advice as to where I stand on this? I've contacted ebay but if past correspondence are anything to go by they won't give a shit!
