Bought my new graphics card from an ebay store - we're talking 20,000+ feedback here)

Added VAT on after I'd clicked buy

Price went from £360 (including postage) to £420

Absolute coques.

I realised after I'd clicked buy it says in VERY small writing at the bottom of the page (yes I know I should have checked more thoroughly but it took some finding even when I was looking for it).

What gets to me though is that you click on "Buy It Now" with a price next to the button.

I expect to be paying this price, I always add on the postage - I'm used to that, but never before have I seen them adding on VAT once you've confirmed to buy - you can't go back without getting negative feedback (dad doesn't want that on his account )

So yeah...it was my fault...but I'm pissed.

I already have. My dad doesn't want the feedback though...meh, I'll just do overtime.

I know he's not done anything wrong but he will know it's not clear in the add - I hate people like that.

You should complain to the seller that you didn't know the price changed and you want it at the lower price.
Complain and cry and you'll get your way. Works everytime.

At least when we were 6.

Just spoke to my dad who deals a lot with money etc that if he gets any trouble from the guy he can threaten him with the Office of Fair Trading! lolz

And know, sadly I'm nearly 18, I'm sure I can still cry though!

Like I said, the seller doesn't need to give negative feedback if he understands the situation.

I never did like E-Bay. Thank god i didn't get into it. Cheap prices (well, not really) aren't worth the amount of times people get screwed over.

I'd never buy a graphics card off ebay. I sell shit, but not computer stuff. I don't trust people like that.

I did buy vista though off there though. 119.00 for home premium!

best one i heard was a guy who paid £285 for a vauxhal (opel) carlton scrap for parts and repair

he paid his cash, and waited, then one day there was aknock at the door with a postman holding ab ox, here you go sir

A BOLT, A SINGLE BLOODY BOLT!

unfortunatly he tracked the seller down and now is in prison for aggrivated assult but it was all worth it
