Was just on ebay looking for a knitting pattern. Found a nice one, item said new, unused. Im looking for ones I can build up into an album.
When I read the extra print added by seller, it says not genuine, but a4 paper copy. It then also says 2nd class post £1.10.
It also says in a section called "what am I paying for'' 10% extra to cover paypal fees. In total they want £3.30 for an a4 piece of paper.how can someone list something as new if its a photocopy of an original and then add their paypal fees on to the customer? Surely that's not right?

You have done the right thing walk away and order from someone else,it is not ebay policy to charge for paypal fee's.

Newyear15...... It may be morally incorrect but it's not breaking any ebay rules. Nothing to stop a buyer leaving low stars for postage costs tho
