If they spelled Cosworth properly they might have even wasted more people's time. Since the car for sale is not one of the models I'm looking for, I reported the…

eBay Sale Gone Wrong
Hi everyone, I sold an expensive fragrance which I have had for a few years - having a clear out. I've had it on sale for a few weeks and everyone kept asking if I would sell it for £20, it's worth £175.

How does this eBay prepaid label work?
Been a good few years now since I last sold on eBay. Maybe 5 years. A relative has just sold something & is bombarding me with questions. This didn't seem to be a thing when I last sold.
