    Item: DELL 3100C P4 3GHZ 512MB 80GB DVD+/-RW £319.99 INC P&P (140023649553)
    This message was sent while the listing was active.
    fadedshop is the seller.



    Im afraid theres no mistake. The listing has been presented in that way to reduce ebay fees.

    I hope this is not too confusing.

    Fadedshop



    :rotfl: well, honest!
    The £2.00 Coin Savers Club = approx £22.00 :rolleyes: :j.. The 20p Savers Club = £17.80.

  • They then chose to flaunt the rules.

    Flout the rules.
  • I've reported all his items that have excessive postage and packaging charges. Hopefully if alot of us do this then the listings will be removed much more quickly.

    this really annoys me when people can get away with things like this - all of his items are all the same - so just think how many fees hes actually got out off!! - makes me angry! this is what sellers abroad do - especially hong kong and china!

    ebay should roll the postage costs into the item total once and for all, it would stop all complaints and allow everyone to view all the items on thier own merit

    They should also roll the VAT into that total then buyers who search completed items to get an idea of the going price would see a true reflection of an items current worth and not assume that, for example,an item listed completed at £295 actually cost £346+

    it's limited to approved buyers too. Don't email them, it's a racket to get your email address so they can spam you!
