i think the seller has the responsibility to provide you the tracking code or else refund.

i would say buying online is at risk, no doubt. so think about the price, whether it is worth and make sure read the terms and condition before commit to join, because some issue is out of the seller control too, they are just human. if the item you can buy in store with cheaper price, of course it is better to get in store so that you can try and feel the quality.^^

i am a seller too, for the postage part i am sure other seller are not able to give exact postage charge ,there might be +- variance like purplecrystal00 said, they just want to make an estimation. if buyer would like to get refund for the postage i think the seller can make it they dont mean to cheat.. at least i dont

and i ordered from ebay and lyn before, these seller actually did not use the postage method that i requested, pissed off when the item arrived like salty fish

Malaysia does not practise goods return 100% like AMER,EMEA does

select reliable safe trader.

i see many shoppers always value the price for 1st, whose cheap goes whose seller, in fact i think reliable is the most important point that shoppers should consider. is totally not worth if there is a con.some seller can get good feedback of selling for few months, but after all they went missing in action. if you are unlucky you will be one of the victim. in short, i think choose the seller is most important factor before commit online trade^^
because once last time i experienced before =.=. thought of save for few ringgit in one forum for same item different seller, end up not a pleasant deal at all

hehe then the budding e sellers need to work more hard to build their own trust to shoppers lo that's why money hard to earn mah right! bear in mind not all shoppers are smart, just like lyn, there are rules and guides on safely trade online, but i guess only 3/10 shoppers read it. so there are still possible budding e sellers can get sales and survive out there - no doubt.

so long for me if as a buyer, i'm definitely first judge whether worth to get online or not, 2nd choose safe trader in forum, powerseller in ebay to minimize the risk

hot choc,
i am one of the unlucky seller who experienced this too :S
there is one id (female) who claimed that she banked in to me in less than 5mins talk, when i asked for the receipt she said she just walked in to bank which in front of her house and she throw the receipt away right after walked out, and even sounds like i con her money. when i bring up moderator,administrator and banker proof, she only told me she banked in to wrong account. in fact during discussion,she said and typed account holder name without flaws.
not even that, she dont leave me alone, change id and keep ask me to do trade with her. i think she must con me successfully only happy. sobsob!

so this world is weird, what kind of people you also can find ,my lord.

off topic,
luvlade why don't you report that seller because we dont want to be the next victims
