Mick Mac Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 My wife recently bid on an item (an in car mobile phone charger) on which she was the only bidder and she "won" it for 1p!!!!She was pleased - I told her the buyer would never bother to send it for 1p - However it arrived today and it had come from Hong Kong!!! How nice it is to see someone on Ebay who sticks by the moral code of the website - if anyone ever deserved positive feedback this was it.

HonaloochieB Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Mick Mac, nice little tickle there. However as Anna has mentioned many vendors on EBay make up their profit on P&P.Not that that should matter, if you get a bargain and the seller makes a quid or thirty bob on the transaction, oisy doisy doh, everyones a winner.Lahvley. Sweet as. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6658-ebay-aaa-seller/#findComment-213301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annasfield Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 A mate of mine found a table and chairs that he liked on e-bay and they were advertised with free delivery to his local area. He started with the minimum bid of 1p and ended up being the only bidder. He didn't have the heart to ask the e-bayer to deliver them too.

Mick Mac Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 The postage was ?1.49 - not bad for airmail from Hong Kong - The envelope had HK Dollar 4.10 in stamps - so someone can tell me if there was a postage profit or not. Anyway someone in Hong Kong (Jenny Leung - address provided!) sent it and she went to the bother of going to the local post office to arrnage it for "feck all". And it came with a little typed note. Great. (Makes mental note to visit Hong Kong soon and see what Jenny looks like).

bigbadwolf Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I once tried to buy a bean bag gun from an internet site in Holland but it was seized by Customs and Exise and they subjected me to a severe arse fcuking as well for trying to import a prohibited weapon. It was on sale for 20 euro's and seemed like a bargain.I got my crossbow for ?40 from a firm in Yorkshire who were having a clearance sale. Still got it and it can go through a car door at ten paces.
