    ... is PennyShopper (pennyshopper.co.uk) - I've bought some surprising stuff for one penny only, including a lawn mower in good working condition, and a table and chair set!

    Do they give you a discount for being an employee then?:D

    Have many people got items free of charge on Ebay/Amazon when moaning about the item?
    (I know I have, 1 because it was tat, 1 damaged, 1 took forever to arrive).

    All because I threatened to give bad feedback...

    Am I the only one? (They've all been company sellers rather than individuals)

    You may want to read up on this policy then - http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/feedback-extortion.html


    Just because they are a business does not make it right either.

  • In fairness, if there's a problem with a low priced item, the seller will sometimes just refund and not ask for it back as it just isn't worth it.

    It looks like the way of seeing what a seller will accept for a buy it now or best offer has been taken away - showing completed listings now only shows the initial price and not the price that was accepted.

    Does anybody know otherwise as this was a great facility.
