    Yes I think you were rude. But had you done that to me, I'd've just been thankful you didn't bid on my item.
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    I think you're comment was perfectly justified. Ebay is a a con artist's charter and all you've done is draw attention to another budding rip off merchant,

    Report her for fee avoidance.

    People are begining to take the pee now with extorsionate postage costs in the name of fee avoidance.
    In know people will say if you dont agree, dont bid, but it is high time a set postage rate was introduced to stop this sort of thing.

    I agree with the OP- REPORT!!!!

    Would be rather funny if she meant £3.50 :rotfl:

    Maybe it is coming in a gold plated van? :think:

    I think £15 is what most people charge and it is about £12 to send! I sent a huge hilti drill that was too heavy for me to carry about that just cost £14 so I charged £15!!!
    :p:p Angel :p:p
