It does say he bought it in error. Maybe he's got a Blackbird?

Sorry to be rude to someone I do not know from Adan, but perhaps if he was not so downright bloody greedy with the postage he just might have had a bid or three on the thing..
Postage on something like that would be ?7.80.. Hell I can get it delivered overnight for ?10.80 by going to www.parcel2go.com !
All the people on ebay who claim stupid postage want a kick up the arse..
The muppets are costing themselves money and are too sodin thick to see it !

Who is gonna willingly pay twice the cost of postage to buy something unless it is dog cheap ? No one.. daft as brushes the lot of em.

Do ebay charge comission on postage? if not then bumping up postage sounds like a legitimate way of keeping costs down.

As for myself posting something like that, I would probably charge something like ?20, not because thats what the stamps would cost me, but because of all the damn hassle it takes to get the thing properly wrapped and to find a carrier.

Remember not all of us run mail order buisnesses, not all of us have all these ducks already lined up, not all of us have the necesary materials on hand, so I think its quite justifiable for us mortals to charge quite a bit more.

Surely anyone who buys on Ebay takes postage into account when hes making his bids, I know I always do, and Ive noticed that on popular items the final selling price often evens out when you include postage.

just my 4p worth

having sent a full akrapovic 4 2 1 system and end can on 48 hr for ?12 or a pair of cans for ?8 then yes ebayers can make there postage rates a rip off.

At the end of the day, if peeps are still paying it then it serves them right .
