Didn't know offers/counter offers did NOT include shipping


Hi,

I'm the buyer in a sale, and while making offers, I was not including shipping in my offers (thinking I needed to add $75 for shipping to it, based on estimates).

The seller made a few counteroffers and their final offer said "$$$, shipping included, final offer" - so I accepted it.

Problem is, Audiogon tacks on the $75 of shipping to his "accepted offer" and wants me to pay.

I've tried contacting the seller (0 feedback) about the situation, I guess I'll have to call them later today to discuss. A shame of a mistake.

The seller could have changed the listing to free shipping, then you could have added the shipping price to the total.
There's nothing better than reasonable people when it comes to buying and selling on Agon.- And, I have met quite a few in my short time here.



I normally reduce my offer by the requested amount of the shipping charge and in the memo portion of the offer, tell the seller what my total offer is and that I backed out the shipping so he can amount see where the net offer came from.
