Ebay Madness!

Yes they have to pay a commission on a sliding scale. If you go to e-bay and search for sellers fees you can see how much they charge

[Newt]

I must be missing something because for the life of me, I can't figure out why any stickers would be worth £13 + £2.40 shipping unless they contained a substantial amount of gold or possibly silver you could resell.

 

wotnobivvy - the seller is also dodging his responsibilities + the proper fee schedule since he should be registered as a business seller rather than a private seller since buying or making items for resale is the Ebay/UK/EU criteria for classifying as a business seller.

 

note to phone: That's not a US rule - it only applies to the EU countries

Imagine waking up with a banging hangover and realising yours was the winning bid... ouch

 

Tell me about any e-bayer who hasn't done that. Perhaps not on this scale though.

Not me, bud. I'm the effing basset who snipes your bargain five seconds from the end

Yeah I speak from experience...!

Does anyone really believe that the winning bidder is actually going to pay?

I know.. People need to remember you can out bid but its still in your hands to actually pay..

It's a non event seller will not pay that. But looking at the bid history it was not just a one off but several silly high bids.

 

I 'won' a hedge trimmer described 'As New' it wasn't and had a hard life, plus the seller couldn't start it. The deal was cash on collection, I declined despite the seller saying I was legally bound....I told him to behave the unit was not As New and it was faulty, I contacted ebay and the transaction was cancelled.

 

I did buy a real bargain for nearly half the price that was almost new and is a dream to use.

 

Legally bound my A$$.

Hi and welcome to AN, Mattzy.

Almost as daft as some of the centre-pin prices we see on E.Bay!

 

That those stickers went for that price says a great deal about carpers.
