sm00chie

was reading a thread earlier about detailed seller ratings that ebay will be introducing. Then i saw this auction http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Orla-Kiely-laminated-purse-makeup-bag-BNWT_W0QQitemZ140188978274QQihZ004QQcategoryZ63852QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

are they taking the . or what?

mind you, it could be a mistake?

I've asked if I can collect it

Jedster

I could be a mistake I agree

But I have reported it just in case

Hand delivered by Victoria Beckham?

if you look at the feed back and other items sold, it has to be a mistake.
But the other items feed back say beautifully wrapped so maybe she thought she was underpaying herself for p+p:rotfl:

Well at least they removed it, there is a lot they do not.

My fiancee and I are regular ebayers and we have seen a lot of auctions where the p&p is so high.

Once we saw an auction for a limited edition hasbro wrestling figure (my fiancee loves wrestling) which was BIN at £7 but p&p was £120.

How can one wrestling figure, whether it's boxed or not, cost that much to post? I could understand if it was a one off, but much of this persons listings had similar p&p prices.
I've seen a lot of sellers with high p&p prices like this. My fiancee and I have come to the conclusion that they try and catch innocent buyers out and really they just swap the prices, so that the BIN price would really be the p&p and vice versa.

They also do it to avoid paying eBay high listing fees

So I report them for fee avoidance

There was a thread last week for some starwars figures

P+P was £1200 and the item was £1 BIN

now that was high postage
