Get a grip man, if ebay fees can be avoided, avoid them, it common sense.

As has already been pointed out, this £5 item, £320 postage is ripe for fraud, because in the event that the item is defective/dirty/whatever, and the buyer returns it, she'll only get £5 back.

I would also have reported this... provided someone from ebay was passing my window as I looked out. I honestly wish I had the same amount of time on my hands (but not the skewed outlook) that leads someone to think phoning up ebays customer services, and no doubt being put on hold, to report this is a good use of their time, especially after ten other people have already said "I've reported it"

How does depriving a huge american corperation of some money make someone a lying, cheating scum bag??

It's not like they didn't pay for the listing....

Only under ebay law, under real law they get the lot back.

HTH.

Ebay fees aren't that much of a rip-off. We sold a watch in a local auction house. The item sold for £4, we received a check for £1.64. It cost £1 (+VAT) to put the item in the auction, then there was 25% (yes twenty-five percent) commission to pay, plus a bit more VAT. If I'd sold the same thing on EBay for that price, I would have had nearly twice as much in my pocket - even more if I'd sold it at a car boot sale.

So, I don't think Ebay's fees are that much of a rip off - as much as I hate having to pay them.

Yes it is as your adding the charges to the P&P and not including them in the item.

But eBay will still charge the seller the same for selling the item, as fees are charged on the insertion and final price of the item !!!!! :mad:

So you will still pay the fees for listing and selling the item whatever the postage.......................

But by adding a little extra to the postage, they will be passing the fees on to the buyer, as all shops pass the cost on to the customers

Has that explained it now ??
