    I'll admit to have doing this in the past (and being temp-banned from eBay once :o). Selling vouchers for a Buy It Now of £0.01 and the P&P for several pounds under face value to give buyer a fair deal.

    Not looking to make a profit exactly, just want to exchange the vouchers for cash.

    there is a difference in someone adding the fees to the postage costs, openly i might add, and someone listing an item for a penny with £10 or £20 pound postage, thats blatent fee avoidance.

    But still, if it is a good deal, just grab it, what do you care if ebay get the fees?? got shares in the company?? :rolleyes:

    this item has £200 postage! amazing. I had a look at some of his other items and he has another item the same with £20 postage so guessing a mistake and some items have £100 postage probably means a tenner. But has put me off bidding as what if he then asks for £100 postage or £200
