Expensive postage!

Blimey maybe I should start charging these prices!!?!?!

Its not fair really - I know a lot of you will say 'well its stated in the listing etc but £25 is just wrong! deceitful!!! :mad:

Blatent fee avoidence!

Edit: Sorry forgot to add listing!! 110148361477

Its even a stock photo from some website!! so who knows whether she has these boots or what condition they are in!!

    she thinks it costs £15 more to post than a pair of Rockport shoes?

    maybe someone should email her and ask what the extra £20 pays for? The feet inside maybe?!

    Call her bluff and ask if you can collect the boots if you win them! She sounds an awkward seller by her feedback so take care. She has 3 pairs of these boots listed as brand new yet is a private seller??

    Well the Rockport boots were £10 p&p so maybe she wraps them in gold leaf or wears them to your house!

    Just noticed this in her previous auction:

    PAYMENT TO BE MADE WITHIN ONE DAY.

    Some people make profit with the Posting costs on their ebay auctions, while selling goods for cheap.


    I saw a $0.28 ebook for sale which would be delivered via Email,
    and postage costs were $0.99 even though it is FREE to email an ebook.

    What do you think of that.
