isn't it fee avoiding too...???

Hulababy · 05/12/2005 18:01

Postage on others for sale seems to be about £7, so could be a typo - I hope!!!

zippimistletoes · 05/12/2005 18:01

or Father Christmas is bring ing it in person!

sparklymieow · 05/12/2005 18:03

if you look at the other stuff that they have for sale, they have also do the same for Bratz dools etc.

followthestarlover · 05/12/2005 18:04

i have sent a question to ask them

sparklymieow · 05/12/2005 18:05

Look at her other items for sale, They are all 99p but with stupid p&p price, does it really cost 20 pounds to post a doll?????

Hulababy · 05/12/2005 18:06

Definitely against the excessive P&P rule:

"Example: Listing a DVD with a postage and packing charge of £25 for standard delivery is considered excessive."

Breaches of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

Listing cancellation

Limits on account privileges

Account suspension

Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings

Loss of PowerSeller status

sparklymieow · 05/12/2005 18:06

oooooooooo Should we report them?????

Hulababy · 05/12/2005 18:08

and another rule broken:

Members may not use systems or techniques to circumvent, or avoid, eBay fees. Sellers should review the examples below to ensure they're not engaging in any practices that circumvent eBay fees.

Breaches of this policy can result in a range of actions, including:

Listing cancellation
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings

Go on - I hate it when people do things like this - utter greed!

zippimistletoes · 05/12/2005 18:10

go get them..it's just profiteering and looking for someone who is so desperate they don't notice [extreme disapproval emoticon]

I think it's fine if someone bids but hiding it in the P&P is just a con

Hulababy · 05/12/2005 18:10

I have emailed the seller to ask why P&P is so high.

sparklymieow · 05/12/2005 18:11

how do you report them???

foxinsocks · 05/12/2005 18:11

if you got the sunday telegraph yesterday, they were giving away 6 of them to readers and given that their average reader age is probably about 60, you would probably stand a chance of winning one!

foxinsocks · 05/12/2005 18:12

I see in the questions bit someone asked if the £70 was a mistake and she said no, I'm selling it for £70.99 including post and packing!

Hulababy · 05/12/2005 18:12

She has replied to a query already:

Question & Answer Answered On

Q: Hello just wondering is your postage a typing error or do you really want £70.

A: No, the postage cost is not £70 but I am selling this item for a total cost of £70.99 incl p&p.

Hulababy · 05/12/2005 18:12

So definitely breaking two of ebay's seller rules.

SnowmAngeliz · 05/12/2005 18:13

Was supposed to get mine through the post today, waited in all bloody day

followthestarlover · 05/12/2005 18:13

i have reported her... for all of her items!

that is fee avoiding!

zippimistletoes · 05/12/2005 18:13

the auction was ended at 6.05

sparklymieow · 05/12/2005 18:13

But then she will only have to the fees on 99p, which is pennies but on 70.99 it is a hell of a lot more, so she is avioding fees

zippimistletoes · 05/12/2005 18:14

I'm almost thinking she must be on mn?? or is that conicidnece

Hulababy · 05/12/2005 18:15

Her other tiems are all still there, and all breaking same rules but not quite as bad as £70. Still excessive though.

followthestarlover · 05/12/2005 18:15

i have reported her, and e-mailed her to tell her i have reported her. greedy bitch

magnolianMistletoe · 05/12/2005 18:16
