Nice to see even a power seller can't be trusted..

Just been looking on ebay for a usb pen drive...as i need one asap...did the usual search and sorted by price

I was presented with half a page from one seller offering them at 99p...then I saw the postage....£9.99....for second class!!! what a joke! went and had a look at his other items to see he has 7 pages of stuff for sale! Alot of which are going for 99p (or a low price) with a massive postage cost (£35.98 for 1st class....er ok). Reported some of the auctions to ebay....can only do 10 at a time and i don't have 3 weeks spare to report them all

Also then noticed the guy is a power seller and has sold over 4000 things...think how much he has not had to pay to ebay!  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

    He could very well be thrown off eBay for that...and he should be! Care to share the user ID so we can take a look and laugh at his ridiculous delivery costs? Will also report him to eBay too.

    It is not on and it IS against eBay rules to do what he is doing.

    hey up, i'm good...up to 41 feedback now! hey stop laughing! ;D

    his feedback is on 98.4% but he has 24 negs in the last month!! :o i wouldn't buy from him ...just thought it was a bit of a joke about his ridiculous p&p charges

    have emailed him asking how he can charge £9.99 for 2nd class postage on a pen drive when royal mail 2nd class max is £2.12....£7.87 on packaging?! >:(

    Good one! Keep us updated!! - careful though cos if he has a lot of feedback I reckon he has a few accounts! ...not that everyone with good feedback is ....But if he is cheeky enough to ask that much for postage...

    41 :o wowie!! well done !! ;) I am on 205!! :P
