    He has also now changed postage rates on all but 2 of his listings. I still haven't responded to his last email but was thinking along the lines of:-

    "I'm not sure ebay will agree it was an error in the listing, as I have copies of your other listings offering discounted P&P rates for additional items bought. My actual bill states £1.00 P&P for second item. Also you have sent me an email stating that you charge excessive postage to avoid ebay fees, which I don't think they will look upon favourably. I would be grateful if you could send me both the items I paid for at the price you set"

    Or is this pushing my luck?
    send it :)

    I've had a moan to him about pricing his items at the true price so that his posage price's could be more realistic, but this is what a lot of sellers do and to be fare it will catch'some people out

    To be honest when I saw I could get the 2nd item posted for £1 his initial £7.49 didn't put me off. It's just when he wanted £7.49 for 2nd item, as his listings stated £1.00 I think it's unfair and misleading.

    I think nearly everything this person sells is freely available to him. Unlocked phones , software , multiple copies of DVD's . His listings just shout it at you and his comments when getting neg/neutral feedback are lovely.
    Obviously that is just my opinion :o
    One of his listings for another DVD has buy one get one free on it!
    Do you think he means the purchaser to pay only once for the postage :p

    No it means you pay £1000 for 1 and get the second for nothing as he will change the billing when you win it! :rotfl:
