1p eBay items with free p&p

Has anyone brought the 1p items on eBay with free postage? The old thing of 'too good to be try's comes to mind but after being on the grabbit board I've seen something's really are true! Tried searching and o ly found things about reselling them which I'm not interested in. Thanks

    No, I've never 'brought' an item for 1p:)

    Really? Is all you have to offer a nasty comment about spelling? Why bother repling at all?

    @OP I have bought a few things from ebay at very low prices. Usually between 6p and about 20p. Mainly DS stylus and cute pendants from hong kong. For the most part the items have arrived quickly and have been good quality. I would buy again.

    Oooh, I'm interested, how do you search for the 1p things? And how do you search for the pick up only things that are near to you as they are normally cheaper than usual as well. Can you tell I'm fairly new to ebay lol.

    no, not meant to be nasty, just my terrible sense of humour, sorry you didn't appreciate it. Will try harder in future.

    last year i placed a bid on a Sata cable that had 1 hr to go and was at 5p from Hong Kong, thinking this would rise or he would not sell for that, but i won it for 5p and paid. then i just forgot all about it. 3 weeks later this arrived. it musdt have cost the seller a small fortune to send a 5p item from Hong Kong

    I've only bought a sim card last christmas for 1p. Well saying bought, the guy messaged and said don't bother paying, marked as dispatched, left me feedback and sent the sim.

    Although he had good feedback for selling items at realistic prices the only reason I can think of for doing it was for the feedback.

    isnt it the no 1 way to build up feedback before scamming!!

    sending something half way around the world, for 5p, I would not be proud to place that order, what a waste of resource.

    Buy the items and dont leave feedback?

    If they are scammers you had a bargain from them.
