Ridiculous eBay postal charges.
Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2007 1:29 pm
I was looking on eBay for a Sony PSP for Luke, and although most postal charges are double or more than the actual cost, this has to set a record.
I contacted him politely, his answer is below, and also reported it to eBay, as they are now asking to be informed of excessive charges.

I am looking for a Sony PSP for my son, it would cost less than £5 for Royal Mail postage, yet this seller is asking £180 for delivery from Cornwall, which must set a new record.
I presume that he hopes that an inexperienced buyer would not notice before commiting himself.
I contacted him directly to point out that he was out of order, and received the following reply:-
"Well you're a right c\/nt aren't you?? DOn't you have anything better to do??"
