Was looking through the jackets on Ebay and found this jacket. It is £14.63 in Primark and £14.99 + £2.00 postage.

    I always wonder why people buy stuff on Ebay that's more expensive than in the shops. I suppose if you are miles from the nearest Primark, it might be something you would do.

    Primark often get in the fashion pages but then never have any stock. So if you want a piece you have seen in a magazine thern sometimes your only choice is to buy it on ebay.

    It was the same with the H and M limited designer items.

    my nearest primark is an hour roundtrip and a good £7-£10 in petrol, then theres the parking etc. Ive never bought something on ebay that i could get in store cheaper as i just pop in to primark next time im near one for work to get what i want but i can understand why people do it.

    what i dont get it is when a dvd is much more on ebay than amazon and play.com etc but people still buy it on ebay!

    must admit I am one of those sellers
    my primark carigans usually go for around the
    £21 mark.you just have to know which are
    the most desirable and the most popular sizes

    Also some people are wise to the fact that some Primark stuff (unless its the basics) doesn't hang around in the stores for long & the popular/advertised pieces will go out of stock very quickly, so Ebay may be the only place they can find them.

    People are to lazy to do any research. I saw a box set I was watching the other week it was in a used condition and went for just over the £18 mark on ebay. You could buy it brand new on Amazon for £16.99

    I live 20 miles from my nearest Primark & don't drive, so it costs me £6 for a return ticket on the bus (and takes about an hour each way!) which would mean that I'd still save money by paying the extra £0.36 & £2 postage that the seller is charging.
