Tv 99p BIT, £54 P/P

26 LCD tv listed as faulty with 99p BIT with £54.01 p/p.

Im not interested in buying it, but baffled that people can list items like this, purely to try and get away with ebay fees as i emailed the seller and asked if it was available for collection as live pretty close and they replied saying yes it was available for collection but would need the £55 paying first into paypal.

So i emailed them back saying why £55, its 99p and if i collected it i wouldn't need to pay the p/p cost. No reply yet.....

  • just report the listing for excessive p+p charges (listing policy violations-circumvention of ebay fees-excessive postage and packaging) they should remove it ("should")
  • Yes i have reported it.

    Heard back from them as well, saying that it should read £55 buy it now with local pick up, but i find that hard to believe when you have over 100 feedback.

    You know what you're doing when you enter a price in the p/p part and therefore aren't going to make a mistake like this.

    And people wonder why ebay are bringing in mandatory P+P in more and more categories...
