Ebay - AAA* seller

[Mick Mac]

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.

Did you pay about a tenner for package and post?

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.

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.

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).

As long as they can cook sweet and sour chicken hong kong stle, they will be welcome (friday nights only - we only have take away on Fridays).

I once bought a 2-man tent for 23p off eBay. Postage was a fiver but the bloke kept his word and I got it a few days later.

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.

Everyone knows that Friday nights are Fish & Chips nights, not Chinese!

"sweet and sour chicken hong kong style" is an oxymoron!

[daizie]

I agree. It's poor down South and really should be half chips, half rice.

[Jeremy]

Woof, if you eat at Wong Kei - and actually choose to go again - you deserve all the abuse they throw at you!

[sophiesofa]

Ebay now has feedback specifically for postage costs so sellers can longer make their profit on the postage.

She even dresses up to go to the PO to keep MickMac happy - those hands were made for stuffing envelopes.

Funny how an innocent thread can end up like this - disgusting.

[ibilly99]

[Mick Mac]

No - obviously not, all a good laugh.:)) More pictures please. :))
