    As you have seen this buyer paid £1.49 for the map. After taking out 10p for eBay's commission, 25p for paypal's fees, 41p for the 1st class stamp and 5p for the envelope I made the amazing amount of 68p profit from this sale and for that I had to spend my time sourcing the maps and stationary materials and deal with the sales and posting the items.
    You have said more than once (as did a few posters on the buyers thread) that these maps are NOT available as free giveaways everywhere as the buyer had led us to believe in her thread. I see that some posters still believe that misinformation and are using it as a stick to beat you with, regardless of the facts.
    I'm sorry can you point out the bit that says how much they spent on the stock because I can't find it.

    Which implies to me that the seller is simply taking whole bunches of them home from work (they said they worked in tourism) so either they are nicking them from their work or they are free.

    As for pack mentality and being a grass, well whatever.
    I think what I think regardless, and no I'm not bothered by some childish name because I choose to do the right thing and not let people get away with breaking the rules and making ebay a sleazy, dodgy place to trade.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    6 of one, half a dozen of the other and you've probably got yourself losing free listings and given your competitors ideas.

    All for one neg.

    Funny old world, innit.
