So I buy some books off eBay the seller dispatched them rather quickly and then 10 days later there still not here so I go to open a case with eBay and less than an hour after that the royal mail sends me a card through my letterbox saying that the seller hasn't payed the full postage and that they want me to pay the £3.50 now if the seller had been upfront about this I would've payed for the postage myself or gone somewhere else for the books. I just find this situation a bit ludicrous as I wait 10 days then am told I have to pay postage for something with free postage.

Edit: I've heard back from the seller and gotten a partial refund to be able to pay for the shipping or the equivalent of one book that I bought.
