I received a bubble mailer with PSA cards I won on Ebay. The seller had printed postage at home, it appears with white sticky label. On the bubble Mailer is a red stamped title "Postage Due" and amount is written in ink .34 No brown envelope was left in my mailbox so I can't even pay for it.

What should I do? Any advice is appreciated.

if they left the package for you i wouldn't even worry about it. most of the time they make you pay the postage due before giving you the package.

Actually I would put the postage due in a envelope and leave it in my mailbox, don't want to risk pissing off the mailman over $0.34. Then I would scan the envelope and contact the seller and ask them what they are going to do for you. They should at the very least refund you the $0.34. And if not then hit them with a negative because there really is no excuse for this, very unprofessional. They tried to save a few cents by skimping on postage.

You could just put the postage due in an envelope yourself and mark on the outside what it is for. More than likely, the postal carrier covered it for you, but it may be a good thing to just put the money in there regardless since you don't want to upset the carrier if it happens again.

Also, I would contact the ebay seller and let them know you had to pay the extra money and see what they offer you...if anything.

You got the cards and are worried? I guess if you feel that guilty go to the post office and hand over 34 cents and link it to your address.

Oh and just shoot the seller a msg letting him know it wasn't enough, and be done with it.

Funny this coming from you...I traded with you back in the day (BMB) and I had to pay postage due but never said anything....Ironic huh? Anyways, are you really that hard up over 34 cents?

While that could very well be true, I remember a few members who thought that it was ok to pay for 2 ounces worth of postage when it was actually 2.1 ounces. True story that was in a post about postage earlier in the year. While you may get away with it a few times there is always the risk of the PO catching it. That is why I said that and actually I meant him them with the neg if they didn't want to give back the difference.

When I traded with you I never printed my own postage, it wasn't until 2 years ago that I started to do that. If that really did happen then it was the PO's screw up and had I known I would have more than paid you back for it.

For that I am sorry then...just thought it was a little ironic. I'm sure you would have but I didn't care to argue over a few cents.

It's the principal of the whole matter, I know that I wouldn't be too happy myself if it happened to me. Wish I still had your info, I would make up for it:hint:hint.

Either way it's just funny. No one's mad here or anything but funny.

Like R. Kelly doing a commercial for bladder control.
