charging extra for p&p to cover 10percent pp fee??

[tahunny]

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?

no it isn't right. Against the rules.

Thankyou for the reply. I know some people do this, but to write it on their page I thought was cheeky. Guess I wont be ordering that one

You have done the right thing walk away and order from someone else,it is not ebay policy to charge for paypal fee's.
I have PM'd you re knitting patterns.

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
