    I've thought of a plan to get back at all those scummy ebayers who are taking the stuff people want to get for their kids.
    We all refuse to pay their stupid prices and go on after crimbo and pick them up for a snip causing them huge losses mahhhhaaaaaaaaa!!!!

    A little harsh in reality don't you think?
  • It's only some Ebayers who are charging extortionate BIN prices, lots of sellers are listing for 99p and it's not their fault if their items get bid up to high prices, but charging £599 for the full set is very greedy and hopefully their stuff won't sell and they will be selling for a fraction of the price after Xmas.

    I've had my stuff in a basket for an hour and can't get through. (using firefox) Thought I'd try Internet explorer and safari, but it wouldn't let me log on as I was logged on in Firefox and I can't log off!

    I think it might be a will after x-mas before stock recovers though
  • How do you switch from IE to Firefox, how do I get Firefox? I'm not very technical.

    Thanks

    Now that I agree with - listed at or below cost gives people a chance to pay what they want. I have put maximum bids in on many items at £2 over RRP just on the off chance. I won't buy if it goes over my budget. Not eBay's fault that some people have a bigger budget than others.
  • I think 'scummy' is a bit harsh.
    I have to be honest - I have a spare garage, and if I can't swap it, it'll be going on ebay. I'll auction it, though, and as long as I get my money back I'll be happy.

    There are genuine toyshops out there (Hamleys, Harrod etc) who are charging way above the RRP, with much higher postage, but that seems 'ok' because they're on the high street. Retail shops already mark up 50% on their purchase price, but we don't seem to moan about that.

    Rant over.
