Hi Marty, yes that appears to be the case... contacting the purchaser, will hopefully sort it, thanks for your comment :)

I’ve just had an item sell with a Trade Me estimate of $10.71 for shipping and the actual shipping cost now shows as a bit over $17 - this is ridiculously inaccurate and begs the question; even as a rough estimate this is totally unacceptable. I will be taking this up with Trade Me (and this is common to almost every auction I’ve run regarding shipping ‘estimates’ - they have always left me out of pocket)
