I know I can see the two seperate, but as the "total" price is the important factor, I want to be able to see a "total" price, and be able to sort as such.

Currently searching lowest to highest price tells me nothing, because all I see is the selling price, to which I add the postage listed to the right. The 99p with £24 P+P T-shirt still appears cheaper than the £19 with £3 P+P T-shirst.

What I want is is the "combined price"..... i.e a T-shirt @ £22 and another @ £24.99

Unless it's one of the muppets who don't put their postage costs in the postage section, but instead write it in the item description. This means that the earlier posters comment about having to read the whole description again come3s into play...very very annoying!!

As a thought.. if someone doen't have a postage cost in he 'postage section', are you entitled to free postage??

Did you read any of the comments regarding the inability to identify an items true cost without wading through each and every single word in an items listing?

or if the item is incorrect/poor quality and needs to be returned you won't get the postage costs back......that would be slightly more then annoying at those prices....I know royal mail is expensive, but :eek: not that much surely....

.... sooner or later eBay is going to start including the P&P in the Final Value Fee to stop this...

This "character" is simply employing a method of fee avoidance that is as old as EBay, and one EBay have had rules against almost as long.

It's Fee avoidance, plain and simple, and as pointed out already, from a buyers point of view, renders the bid price in category listings, useless.

People took advantage of the 5p listing. I saw a welding mask going for 99p but p&p was £84.00!!!
