    if you read the feedback you could have seen they are not UK based.
    however ebay should be clamping down on this as too many sellers do this

    heres a great example of people who just dont know.
    stating postal charges

    Thanks but i have allready contacted paypal with my dispute, stating item falsely advertised thats how he moved from £15 to £17, i know this is all a little trivial in the whole scheme of things but this seller has sold probably hundreds and by not paying excise duty made a small fortune !!!

    I use this tool for checking feed back.....
    http://www.toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=excel.store&Dirn=Received+by

    YES there are lots of negs added scince the 25th nov, but the writing was on the wall. A wee bit more checking would have made you a bit more wary.

    Not that its much help now but maybe in the future
