i won an auction for a toyota pickup engine from ebay not long ago. it was rebuilt and pretty cheap. so i bid and won it. paid $891 for it including shipping. i am getting it tomorrow. already made the appointment with the shipping company. then the seller contacted me and tells me to pay $289 extra for shipping on top of what i've paid. here's the email:

"hello, just got a call from gator freight, they want an extra 289.92... the weight was estimated at 150.00 lbs, and they say it weighs 450 lbs the engine is in cali, and it is goin to be delivered tomorrow, can you get the difference either to me or to the freight company? which would be easier for you please contact me phone is xxx-xxx-xxxx here at my shop"

i asked her before i bought the motor and she told me the shipping was $200. but when i won the auction it went up to $266 but it was still cheap so i didn't care. now she's asking me to pay more. no way!!
