High postage for a small item

..... and according to the seller "please notice high postage, I need to cover expenses, labour insurance and 10% fees, it does not go in my
pocket!"

That's probably over £20 for nipping out to the post office. Nice work if you can get it.

    His p and p stars dont look too healthy and I suspect he might not last much longer on eBay.

    Also looking at his sell through rate He doesn't actually sell much.

    I'm actually considering buying an old graphics card to update an old computer we have around here.

    I wouldn't touch this seller with a barge-pole. Unless I could charge him a £20 "carrying fee" for the barge-pole that is.

    At most it's what, £2.20 to post that 2nd class?

    Does he realise that the fees come off the total, therefore sell it for a price where you are happy to get £x AFTER fees?

    Fool :rotfl:
    Can't think of anything smart to put here...
