Lol.. I did message the seller as thought it a bit over the top and a typing error..can understand why he hasn't sold any lately !!:)

I've just logged in ebay and checked the sales history, all the others were sold for £1.57. The last sale was 11 March, so I wonder why the seller hasn't done anything about it. He/she was selling them just about every day, then suddenly it stopped on 11 March.

You would think they would have looked at the listing before now, wouldn't you.

Oh dear, I suspect the seller wanted the price to be £1.57 and forgot to add the decimal point, so it came out as £157.

£1.57 is too cheap.

It might be too cheap, but if you read my post #22 you will see that I checked the sellers closed listings and all those sold for £1.57

Mischa

Blimey! Poor borders_dude! All that hassle over a piddly decimal point! Bet you're wishing you hadn't bothered now! ;-) eBay is great!

Perhaps his keyboard doesn't have a decimal point. He should have used a full stop instead.< like that one.

Thanks, I have a fully functional keyboard. If you go through the fourums you will find millions of spelling errors. I made a decimal point error....hardly the end of the world now is it!

My point on the seller was perhaps lost but again, its not the end of the world is it.

My attempt at a little humour went straight over, didn't it!

So he sold all the others at a loss and is now making up for it? LOL

I don't think he made a loss, he has now amended the price from £157 to £1.57, and the history shows he has sold 344 of these items. I looked at the first few pages of the sales history and they all sold for £1.57 (BiN).

Maybe he is over charging on the postage to cover the fees and is making 58p profit per item.

It's not a case of being unforgiving, your post implied that I was wrong and I pointed out that I had shown I was right in another post, which you had not read.
