<p>[QUOTE="IQless1, post: 1743525, member: 30689"]I can think of one worse situation. My gf's daughter bid on an autographed album on eBay being sold by Dick Clark's people. She bid without thoroughly reading all the info I guess, and before I knew she was going to. (I would have caught her error) She bid $100 and won, sent them a check. Again, before I had a chance to stop her. They cashed the check, then said shipping will be an additional $350! Again, I would have caught that, but she had failed to read the fine print. It only mentioned "reasonable shipping charges" and when she called them was told it was "White-glove" handling, and had to be paid in full to receive her item. No refund. I would never have bid on that item, period. But, she learned a lesson: Read the fine print! & even better: Know what you are paying (in shipping charges) before bidding! That lesson cost her $100.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
