How many ebay rules does this listing break?

…..this is for sale elsewhere so if this is still for sale with one day to go i will withdraw it from auction its well worth the money i`m asking. and its to dear to put a reserve on with ebay so if you want it contact me and do the deal. if you have less than 5 feedback please contact me first with a landline number or i will cancel the bid

you can pick up and pay cash if you wish, i will take paypal but as it costs me a lot you must pay 5% extra to cover cost. postal orders are okay, and checks once they have cleared….

    I don't think it's a hijack, just a muppet. Can't believe he has that much feedback and still tries to surcharge!
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    And a 5% surcharge too.

    He would be making a profit if a buyer agreed to pay 5% extra via paypal.

    I'm assuming you've reported it, rather than just posting it on here?
  • If you look....... Here it was only won by the seller on the 14th March........

    for £220......... and now he wants £326 :rolleyes:

    Talk about a chancer :rotfl:

    I haven't reported it.

    Partly because that is not really my style and partly because I might bid for it, though I won’t bid anywhere near £326. :D

    I don't want it for myself as I don't like the colour so I would only buy it to resell it and I think I am unlikely to get it cheap enough to turn a profit.

    Abuse of ebay policy doesn't benefit anyone. And the fact that he's basically trying to do the deal off ebay is putting other potential buyers at serious risk of fraud. I think you SHOULD report it, whatever your "style" is.
  • Then why haven't you reported it MarkyMarkD instead - telling others to do stuff is bossy if you don't do it yourself!
  • this auction has now been pulled :)
