Maybe the next brilliant ebay scheme will be to start charging sellers for breathing oxygen whilst accessing the website? :doh:


10p per lung full – 30% discount for ‘power breathers’!

exactly, very greedy company their policies are unfair and always in their favour.

The fact it also breaches terms and conditions, means it is not moneysaving.

This site is full of moneysavers AND idiots. The moneysavers are the ones who can spot the difference.

You don't have to buy anything if you think the postage is too high, someone else will see a bargain and be happy with the postage, problem solved.

You can dress it up and try and explain it away however you want, it doesn't change the fact that it is a breach of terms and conditions. And I don't remember this website or Martin advocating the breaking of any terms and conditions.

No I don't but that is not the issue.

You are advocating a blatant breaking of a very basic rule (and others as we have seen by your threads) and then saying it is 'moneysaving'. It isn't.

So, you both have a problem with me because i charge £1 extra for postage? In that case, before you call me a idiot, i use top quality envelopes and packaging, and it costs me to get to the post office to post them, so as far as my own postage is concerned its correct.

Again, problem solved, let me know how much of a idiot i am on the 1 - 10 scale coz negs don't work here, thanks!

there's a seller on ebay who lists all his footie dvds as "Sporting Memorabilia so he can charge £3.79 postage for them rather than the ebay flat rate for dvds. I've reported it to ebay several times and they've done nothing...seems they aren't interested unless they are losing money

£1 postage what not the inference given.

Inflating postage to avoid fees is not allowed. You can price your P&P at whatever you like, but selling small volume, means that if two buyers don't agree with you and mark down your DSR's, then you will not be able to sell any more.

Coupled with flouting of rules on what can and cannot be sold and obvious disregard for ebay T&Cs mean that it is not relevant how much of an idiot I think you are or not.

Its against forum rules to call people idiots - but its being done.

What you both miss is that its eBay policy at fault, a flat rate for everything when too many variables are to be taken into consideration. eBay is at fault, not really the sellers but because eBay set this policy you seem to think it should be upheld, me i don't think it should, as far as i'm concerned i'm right and thats where my posting ends on this subject.

Why are you reporting people? Are they paying you for your reports? Can't you leave the guy alone if your not buying his dvd's? That is spiteful to go round reporting people.

Whether we agree with the policy or not. When you sign up to Ebay and Paypal you agree to abide by their rules. If you don't like them, go play somewhere else.

It's not a difficult rule to grasp really.
