Postage Piracy!

Piracy in terms of blatant daylight robbery ..

£14.99 for a cartridge?!?! But hey, you can save £2 per item postage on multiple wins ... what a bargain :angry:

I am tempted to report this guy, because there is no way you can justify postage rates like that.

It's listed as 1st Class standard - that'll be what, £1.50 tops? Even next-day Special Delivery would only come to £4-£5.

Notice that 99p insurance is compulsory aswell :roll: What an utter prick.

Since it's labeled a 13 in 1 I want to know what the other 8 things it can do?

Well, I was bored at work so I emailed the seller. Here's the response:

Hi, if you are not quite happy with this way, i can sell it to buyer by 35 pound with free P&P, but you know the final total price is same.

Thank you very much

>Hi. I'd be interested to know how you can possibly justify a £14.99 postage cost when it'll cost under £2 to ship within the UK by first class, and perhaps an absolute maximum of £4-£5 if you send it next day Special Delivery. Are you just taking the piss?




So, it's fee avoidance, but I can't be bothered ploughing through the ridiculous number of pages necessary to report anyone on eBay. I'll save that for the unimaginative Propellor Arena sellers(*)


(*) I don't mind the PA sellers who advertise 'Propeller Arena covers (plus bonus)' or the ones that include a nicely printed case, it's the ones who try to charge £10 for a loose CDr that piss me off.

Sad really, he didn't even list a low BIN price. Gotta love eBay!
