    This thread just got funny :P

    Taking a seller to court over a 99p pair of shoes (The £7 P+P doesn't come into the equation)? And on such a flimsy basis XD

    Well I'll have you know, I've talked to the rest of my voices and they unanimously agreed we aren't mad. :D

    Yes, I think they both missed the obvious sarcasm; suing for 'loss of a bargain'. :cool:

    £7 is the maximum EBay will allow for the posting of shoes. I've just listed 2 pairs of trainers and I'm charging the full £7. However, I've charged that because I have no idea how much, ultimately, they will cost to post and I've said in my listings that I will refund any difference between the actual cost and the £7 charged.

    Trainers are heavier to post, and at least you sound a decent seller, by saying your refund the difference, sometimes it is trial and error with posting, xx

  • I'd make a new account and bid on the relist

    As the seller in question would have the OP's details from when they won the shoes the first time, this probably isn't a good idea.

    Using a new or different account to bypass a bidding restriction is in breech of ebay policy and if the seller notices this and reports the OP, they may find their ebay accounts suspended.
