    I can't be seen to condone rule breaking, or by putting MSE'r ebay accounts at risk.

    There's a few people listing DVDs in the "Other Film Formats" category and charging postage.

    best thing surely would be to offer free collection in person as your first option and as your second postage option sellers standard rate charge what you like it let me list it dont know weather if will be removed or not
  • sell them on play.com (or ebid if you can wait 6 months for them to sell)

    The thing is with trying to get clever is that buyers automatically wonder what else you are going to try and get clever with.

    It isn't worth it, it just puts buyers off.

    Sell at a realistic start price or sell elsewhere, I have done quite nicely with Amazon recently and DVDs.
