1p clothes on line

Not on my line in the garden, but in an ebay shop i've just found.:rolleyes:

Not sure how they can afford it but this shop is selling loads of clothes for 1p, some of them are even branded. :j

I ordered a couple of tops that looked quite nice, for 1p you cant go wrong i thought! :cool:

    I'm perplexed because the postage isn't outrageous either. How the hell do they do it?
    I might try a little test purchase first.
    Third time lucky on WW I hope :j

    They can make a profit because of their p and p. If they are buying even at £1 for a ladies T and selling at £2.96 including p and P they will be making over a pound profit per item even allowing for postage and fees.

    I've filtered out their negs and neutrels and they are mainly for excessive postage costs.
    But, as many a thread has discussed if you don't like the prices sont buuy it!!

    They also offer a discount on P+P if you order 4 or more items.

    "We are happy to discount postage and packing for 4 or more items.
    UK customers ordering 4 or more items (whether from our auction listings or our eBay shop) will receive a 25% discount on all shipping charges.
    Enter the words 'POST DISC' in the Promotion Code box in Checkout."

    it does, but that means you're still paying £9 for 3 items, but I guess people see stuff for 1p and buy a few items.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    I'm shocked that the seller can actually make a profit on selling clothes for 1p. I was expecting postage to be excessive but in fact it's fairly reasonable.
