Parcel delivery companies are rapists.

There isn't a point in selling something if your just going to lose money on it. Its not like he is trying to bait and switch on him he is just being honest and asking for more money to cover shipping costs. From what I read both the buy and seller both assumed that shipping about be ~$50. Assumptions aren't always right.

Don't comment on that which you don't have the whole story
Read the second sentence in the OP's first post. That's what we have to go on, so that is what I commented on. It says they AGREED on it. Oh, and go fuck yourself.

The same should go for people trying to low ball people too, or is that not as unethical as asking for a little more money to cover shipping?
Lowballing has nothing to do with an agreed price. It is an offer made by one party. Apples to oranges. I never said it is unethical to asked for more money. I think it is a chickenshit way of trying to cover your own fuckup.

you also have to think about it, they could probably fit 10 packages in the space it takes for that one package. anymore on ups its $10 as a minimum to ship something

What are the dimensions of the box? Anyway you can cut it down? Your probably over the dimensional weight by a few inches. Those few inches will raise the cost $50.
I wouldn't ask for any more money if there was an agreed upon price.

Just my 2 cents.....you can't ask that guy to send more money if you agreed on the price. Its your fault you didn't check first.

Agreed 100%

Now, to help the OP out a bit....try sending it Greyhound. Seriously. It'll take a few more days, but its a LOT cheaper than other parcel services that I've tried.

[KA-T_240]

^greyhound is the cheapest way to send large items

Baiting and switching IS illegal, Kevin, along with being highly unethical. How would you feel if someone did that to you. If you dont wanna pay the shipping, give him his money back.

[91teggy]

Sounds like a shitty deal if the guys doesnt want to pay more he wont, asking for more money may make you feel like an ass but if he agrees it works.

[Rexwagon]

well i asked the guy on friday and i still havent gotten a reply back. well from this expierence i know i am not going to sell something large over the internet ever again. i see both points from both sides of all the comments. It is my fault for not checking first but he also figured it wouldnt be this much for shipping so i am prepared to give him his money back.

[Rexwagon]

well i just recieved a new message from the buyer and he felt it was fair to ask for the money so he is sending it to me. just to give you all closure to this predicument.
