    Ok, be a martyr :confused:

    Indeed, nobody wins a price race to the bottom.

    Good idea about under cutting them:j:j
    Exept they're an established seller of the product, and you're a no-one in the field.

    In our market, we often get people trying to sell a very similar product for almost half the price. And yet, we still get considerably more sales than them, because we've got a good track record, know more about the product (because pretty much everything we sell is in the same sub-category).

    Yes, the other sellers are cheaper. But with us, you get what you pay for.

    I wonder how amazon sellers will take to people querying and judging their P&P charges in the same way buyers do on ebay?

    This could create a very interesting split between the two platforms...
    I've seen a neg left for a seller on amazon saying that postage was too high. :eek:
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    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. :p

    Mine was in fact a neg, just a 4 * but I did get a 4* recently with the remark that the postage was excessive- on a 1p novel. I physically could not have priced the item lower.
