Sorry if I'm being a bit blonde but why would someone sell a used Revenue Protection underpaid sticker?

Found it as I was googling them as an ebay item arrived with one on today. Not entirely sure what they are or what it means for me or the seller????

Can't explain why he is selling it.
But the one you got on your ebay parcel was meant for you not the seller. The seller hadn't put enough postage which means that when the postman delivers, he should have asked you to pay the underpayment which in this case was 21p + handling charge of £1. Your postman was just lazy and put it through the letterbox - lucky escape for you!0 -
Thank you Kalsha. Was wondering how they were planning on reclaiming the money - that explains it. Just out of curiosity, should the postman have knocked on the door and expected me to hand over the cash??? This doesn't sound very secure.
I'll watch that listing and may sell mine lolI seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be0 -
Your item with the sticker on should have been kept at your sorting office and you sent a card to go and collect it and pay. Sounds like you've been let off!
As for selling one, it's a stamp collector thing.0 -

Yes he is a stamp collector. It is scored out so if you have one that is not scored out, will it be more collectable?0 -
I'm wondering if there's some scam where you stick one on a letter before posting it without a stamp on, and then hope the Royal Mail are stupid enough to assume it's been paid.Murphy's No More Pies Club #209

Yes, mine isn't scored out.
Having recently sold a phone to Italy I have done a lot of research and scamming and the first thing I thought was if I was as shady as some people on ebay I could keep ordering things like DVDs that typically get sent with a large second class stamp and keep claiming I had to recue it from the sorting office.
I hate that unscrupulous people have made me so cynical that it even occurred to me!!I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be0
