  • I wonder how long he got away with listing like that. He must have saved a fortune on fees.

    Perhaps the seller changed his postage and packaging information after his listings got pulled.

    I thought that too, why hasnt Ebay banned him he clearly breaking the rules. It seems Ebay pretty much do what they like and went it suits them, money is there only motive.

    What? You can't! You either accept the fees or don't accept paypal. Simple. (the company that own Ebay own paypal)
    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.
  • Why would you report this? what difference does it make how he gets money for the item. If he is looking to avoid paying fees is that not just good business?

    I say hats off to the man, keeping the money for himself and not feeding ebays pockets (who by the way charge too much as it is).

    couldnt agree more

    So you would be happy that if something went wrong all you would get is the bin value and not the true value of the goods.

    It isnt fair to those honest ebayers who charge a resonable costs of postage either.

    The guy doesn't deserve to trade he knows the rules you break them and he should be banned period. Whether you agree or not that Ebay and a greedy company the postage should reflect the true cost of sending the goods and perhaps inc time to post them etc.
  • That particular seller and anyone else who list items in that kind of way will just make eBay increase listing fees even more and us genuine sellers will be the ones who end up paying.

    It is evident that this seller is learning as many of his newly listed items are listed correctly.

    Just one item thats he is over charging on postage, granted it may be a heavy item, but at least he isnt as bad as before.
