I purchased an item for 1 cent and the shipping was 7.80 $. What can I do?

The cost of shipping has no relationship to the price or value of the item purchased.  The weight, and the distance it travels determine shipping cost.   The shipping cost is usually listed on the item's auction page.  You are expected to read the entire auction listing before you bid.  By bidding, you are agreeing to the shipping charge.   If it is coming from outside your country of residence, free shipping usually only applies to the country where the seller resides.   Basically, you bid, you pay.  If you do not pay, the seller may file an unpaid item complaint against you.  2 of those in one year usually results in triggering an automatic block in most sellers who will not accept bids from buyers with 2 or more unpaid items.  

The item you purchased has a value of $7.81.Part of that was for the item. Part of that was for the shipping.Which is cheapest?A penny item with $7.80 shipping?A $7.80 item with one cent shipping?A $7.81 item with 'free' shipping? What do you do? You pay for the purchase.   It was this sort of insulting listing, pretending that an item was cheap and then piling on the shipping, that encouraged eBay some years ago to charge sellers a fee on the cost of shipping.It used to be that a smartalec seller would only be paying fees on the penny sale, nothing on the shipping, which was the real cost of the item.That has to the great annoyance of honest sellers, not been the case for several years. You have up to 60 days to leave feedback. The most effective feedback is calm and factual. 'Inflates shipping to avoid fees Unaware of FVF changes.' for example.At the same time you will be asked to leave Detailed Seller Ratings, which are much more important.A normal transaction gets 5 Stars. The lowest Rating is ONE STAR. No stars are a free pass.If a seller's DSRs drop below 4.3, his ability to list and sell on eBay are restricted. His fees may rise. Or he may be removed from the site.Leave Detailed Seller Ratings. And in future.Read the whole listing including the shipping fees to CanadaIf there are not fees listed for Canada, contact the seller for a firm quote. If he refuses or the quote is too high, don't bid.If you are shopping on a mobile device, cross check the listing on a laptop or desktop before bidding. Mobiles have limited information for the shopper.

  • How can I purchase items for app when the app was loaded on another ID before? I has to Chang my AppleID and also transferred an app to new phone. I can't purchase items for app because it wants me to buy the app through new ID. The app was free.

    All apps (and other content from the store) are tied to the account that downloaded them, whether or not they are free. To do in-app purchases in that app you will either need to log in with the account that downloaded it, or delete it (which will delete its content) and download it with your currently logged in account if you want to do IAPs on that account.

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
    I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
    Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

    Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.

  • I updated iphone 4 to ios 7.1 and the camera doesn't work. what can I do?

    i updated iphone 4 to ios 7.1 and the camera doesn't work. what can I do?

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
    If this does not help, and to rule out a software issue, set it up as new device without using the latest backup, in case that backup contains corrupt data.
    Is the camera working after that, restore from the backup. Is the camera still not working, this might be a hardware failure and you'll have to get the phone serviced by Apple:

  • Imy phone is automatically restarting and the screen is turning blue what can i do to make it ok again??

    imy phone is automatically restarting and the screen is turning blue what can i do to make it ok again??

    Hey babylovesyou,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone shows a blue screen and is restarting on its own. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a good one,
    Mario

    The ipad was fell foot away from the floor and the screen was totally blackout. what should i do?what is the damage the hardware or the software

    Probably safe to assume if you can no longer turn it on, you probably have hardware damage. Take it in to an Apple store or Authorized Service center to have it checked out, but the warranty will not covver this.

  • HT1212 a friend gave me her iphone but could not remember her passcode and the phone is disable.  What can i do to reset the phone

    A friend gave me her old iphone 4 but could not remember the passcode and the phone is disabled.  How can I reset the passcode?

    In HT1212,
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • HT1692 My mail on iPad stopped working and if you touch it, it brings out a blank sheet and the screen is disabled. What can I do to resolve this?

    Please help, mail icon on my iPad just stopped working. It displays a blank page and disables the screen when touched. What can I do to rectify this issue. Thanks.

    Have you tried a Reset? [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
        1.    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
        2.    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
        3.    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
        4.    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Kappy, a pretty wonderful and very knowledgeable man, has tip for that which I have copied and pasted above

  • I sent my iphone in for repair and the status was canceled repair request.

    I sent my iphone 3GS in for repair and when I checked on the status of the repair, it said repair request canceled.  Does this mean it has been fixed and on its way back or they are sending a new one back?  I am confused.

    Ah ,so you are in Europe ( helps to tell upfront as this is a WW forum )
    They will not repair your iPhone they will check it and assuming no user induced damage will send back a replacement refurbished unit  to you ( reason for no accessories )
    There must be a contact number where you arranged the return
    It is possibly going to Eire where Apple seems to ship most EU shipments from
