    Maybe he has had a terrible accident and is currently on life support while his weeping wife watches through the plate glass window at the ICU.

    You should be ashamed of yourself Glen.

    Had plenty of them before ! Got sick of it. Know there are plenty of genuine people on eBay but the bad uns pee u off !
    Negative feedback and non paying bidder marks are left against them now !

    Wot about people who charge over the odd P&P rates ?

    Received a box of 20 speccy tapes (budget sized boxes) all boxed this week via Royal Mail 1st class for ?4.97.

    Just won some more tapes on eBay this week, consists of 7 budget sized boxed tapes and 3 full price sized boxed tapes !

    Seller wants ?11.00 for P&P which service is he using ???

    Non paying ebayers are a right pain but there is some good that comes out of it i was outbid at the last second for morrowind on the pc with both expansions bloodmoon and tribunal. A few weeks later i get a email saying i can buy it for my highest bid which was ?3.50 + ?3 pound postage.
    The winning bidder would have only had to pay a extra 50p or so than me but welched on the deal.
    This was bad for the seller but i got 3 months of the best rpg gaming ive ever had Final Fantasy 7
    is my favourite rpg but i finished eveything on it in 4 weeks and it cost ?20 so this was much more value for money. Roll on March when Oblivion comes out though i dont think my pc will be fast enough to utilise all the nice details.

    I bought a load of stuff a while back, for which the seller tried to charge me 45 quid postage. I queried it, saying that you can have 25KG weight packages for around 12 quid, but they stated that's what the post office quoted them.

    Of course, the post office had quoted first class rate - which was absolutely ridiculous, as even SPECIAL DELIVERY would have worked out cheaper.

    I think at least some of the high postage rates seen on EBAY is the result of ignorance on the part of the seller, and in some cases the post office.

    The amount of times I've gone to a post office to post a package to the USA and had to ASK for 'small packet' rate instead of the more expensive letter rate - I could have wasted a fortune if I'd not have known.
