[Cammer-6]

bid on some wheels and won the auction.
price for shipping was displayed as $83
I went to pay it and seller says shipping was $160 and didnt include insurance.
So that would mean even more if I wanted insurance.
Seller had only 1 feedback and I contacted him while auction was ongoing and asked if his newbieness would be a problem.
He assured me it wouldnt and said he had a good record(yea right 1 sale).
I called ebay and they advised to cancel the sale and leave a neg feedback.
Seller claims the wheels weigh 34# with packing.
I called BS because I have exact one here and it weighs 22#.
The only way it would add 12# for packing is if he used bricks.
He keeps saying that he can get more for them blabla if he relists and claims they are worth the extra in shipping.
I used my fedex account and ran the #s including 4 lbs for packing on each wheel and it actually came up cheaper
than the $83 quoted by ebay shipping calculator.
This guy claims hes not trying to rip me off,says thats what wheels weigh and shipping costs are actual thru UPS.
Ive shipped wheels all over the country and never used 12# of packaging.
Plenty of times Ive eaten extra shipping charges if it ran over the quote.
In defense of Ebay they are completely on my side.
I dont want to let these go and am thinking of paying for them and forcing his hand.
