Ebay postage micky takers!

laser_jock99:
Won't buy from anyone that takes the p*ss with P&P. In fact we quite often bait them by e-mailing the seller regarding them their pricing (even if we have absolutely no intention of buy their stuff). My favourite 'question to seller' runs something like this...."Hi- I'm really interested in your auction but the P&P is really excessive- please can you quote me for Second Class Post"....

Try it- great fun, espescially some of the worming and wriggling replies you get!

Range Rover Blues:
Or "can I collect in person" as well.

MudRat:
remember its postage and packaging, i have to factor in the 15 mile round trip to the post office!  :wink:

If the price is too high, dont bid, no-one is twisting your arm.

Lets face it, for the fee ebay charges for the advert, then their cut from the sales price, then their cut if you pay by paypal(also ebay), I cant blame anyone trying to save a few quid.

hey, they might even be doing you a favour and keeping the overall cost down, by not letting ebay make quite so much money on the item you intend to bid for........
