Title: Re: This shouldn't be allowed-very misleading
Post by: SaMAlex on March 27, 2007, 03:47 PM: I wonder what would happen if you won them at 99p and then you said youd go and pick them up?

Post by: Stodgy on March 27, 2007, 04:02 PM: They do it to save on ebay fees on the final selling price, as you don't have to pay them on postage...

Post by: mark 2 on March 27, 2007, 04:17 PM: You go through the safety centre and click on the links to complain about excessive postage. It's there in b&w now, he's stated he's done this to get his price and that's a big no-no in ebay rules....

Post by: OrgasmDonor on March 27, 2007, 07:10 PM: just sent him this question

have you spelt "royal mail" correctly? surely it should read "royal male" and id expect it to be prince charles delivering them in person at that price!

Post by: jT Racing on March 27, 2007, 07:40 PM: nice idea

not.

you will be paypal/ebay protected for the selling cost not the postage.(or not, i don't use the bay much)

Post by: Lazarou on March 27, 2007, 08:06 PM: In my opinion MX900/1000's should only be used with tech 2/3 levers, tech 4's don't strike me as era correct, am i wrong or just anal?

......and i do think he's a tw@t with the misleading, cheapskate ad!
Title: Re: This shouldn't be allowed-very misleading
Post by: LucyLastic on March 27, 2007, 09:44 PM: I still think it's naughty and not very sporting ;)
Title: Re: This shouldn't be allowed-very misleading
Post by: Moose on March 28, 2007, 12:17 AM: I'm tempted to buy them, then not pay for them because of the unfair postage costs and go though ebay - he won't get his listing fee or final value fee back because he's breaking the rules. Sure, I won't get the brakes, but I don't want them :2funny:

......but I can't be arsed :LolLolLolLol:
Title: Re: This shouldn't be allowed-very misleading
Post by: Trev on March 28, 2007, 02:15 AM: The blokes a tw@t.

Set yerself a starting price or a reserve price. That way people will actually bid on it if they want it and not think what a knob.

What does happen though if you did win it at 99p and told him you didn't have paypal and that you'd post him a cheque. Then you'd have his address. Then go around there and tell him you decided to pick them up in person to save on postage.
