Yep, that's why it's got a barcode I think. Something to do with RM scanning the barcode... Obviously, if you use the same label more than once, the barcode's already been used. So the second parcel with that barcode will probably just be returned to you, maybe even along with a warning from RM about doing it.They would all be the same weight and to the same address though, and i'm sure the PO have some way of identifying fraudulent users.Back on MSE after a 5 year hiatus.

You'd still have to send them all to the same person though

Printing your own labels (and CoP if needed) works fine, you can also get a refund online if needed.
I buy100 stick-on A6 document-wallets, it's so much quicker then writing out the address and sticking on stamps.0 -

Is it really worth the risk, though? If Royal Mail notice, they could ether deliver the parcel, and make the buyer pay the full price + £1. Or, they'll return it to you, and then you'll have to resend it (probably at a time too late to qualify for Paypal seller protection).
Where's Custardy when you need him?

It's fraud and since the mail is still (at least for a while) the Royal Mail not a clever thing to do.

It's got a dot matrix code, which I presume contains ALL nessecary info, including address of recipient. So you could end up sending loads of stuff to one buyer.... and then I will do this :rotfl: because you are a moron.This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine:kisses2: Fiancee of the "lovely" DaveAshton :kisses2:I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine.
