For someone who has just started ebaying like me, it is this sort of dramas that makes think that ebay is full of liars and jokers... but at least it never fails to provide amusement... haha

Now, the story begins...

Firstly, I was ebaying for a mini SD memory card for my new xda... I had been observing the price for 2 hours, and it has never been sold lesser than 20 pounds (including postage). And i won this deal, where the price of the SD card is 0.99pounds, and the postage is 14.50 pounds.. adding up to 15.49.. so I was quite happy, as i have secured a good deal...

Then, when I was about to pay, I saw the invoice stated that a postal insurance is required, which cost 5 pounds, as the item is shipped from hongkong. I was not satisfied, and tried to email the seller, to see if it is possible to omit the insurance...

Whilst waiting for his reply, I had paid the full amount (20.49) by now, as I wanted to get the item asap. Then, I received his reply...

"No Insurance is required as stated in the listing.

I was very happy then... and I requested for money to be refund back to me..

"Dear Nim:
With reference to the replied email from you, you mentioned that no shipping insurance (5.00GBP) is required. However, I've paid you the exact amount including the shipping insurance, would you mind to refund me the 5 GBP shipping insurance then? As without shipping insurance, the total amount i have to pay is just 14.50+0.99 = 15.49 GBP, instead of 20.49GBP i've debited to your account. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Thanks.

Andy"

And his reply....

"I missed the punctuation mark. Insurance is required.
