Free Shipping (but really postage due).

We've now seen multiple reports of this scam. It seems to be growing now that free shipping yields no s/h star. Buyers are having a hard time figuring out which star to leave the 1 on.

It's usually minor, a buck or so. Seller ships the stuff for free, resulting in various benefits not the least of which is more sales.

But when the stuff comes, shipping turns out to not be so free. Postage due.

So long as buyers fail to post sincere feedback in such cases, we can expect to see them increase.

  1. And who do we think is to blame for this?
    All the sellers who do that(on purpose or accidentally most of the time) or a single venue that is known for it's worst in history of all businesses direct customer relations?
