    and if you had to return an item and got a refund minus postage?

    No one put a gun to your head forcing you to buy it. By all means don't make a purchase but to report people is strange...... ebay ethos?

    I think you'll find this thread was related to high pp cost, no one is talking about scammers, so you're barking on the wrong tree.

    So we already know that some sellers are comfortable with trying to bend rules when they want to get round paying ebay..what else are they happy to bend rules over? Personally I think breaking some rules makes me suspicious about how they will treat me as a buyer so yes, anything stupidly obvious like £110 postage would have me reaching for the report button.
