  • At the bottom of their listing there's "report this item" click on it and follow the advice

    should be
    1: listing policy breach
    2: circumvention of e bay fees
    3:excessive postage fees

    Edit: have reported it!!! Really hate this sort of thing

    Well someone has to report this, it needs stamping out.

    Plus if some daft buyer did buy them and they never arrived in post, all the sell may back is 99p.

    Go on then - how do buyers save money ? Far as I see it, they take the risk as if it goes missing in post, they've paid 99p for the item so will be shafted. Only reason people do it is to circumvent ebay fees. If you don't want to pay the fees, don't use ebay, simple as that.
  • don't see why everyone gets upset by this, the only people that lose out are ebay and they still make their few quid when the item is paid for via paypal.
