what madness is this

[heroic_decepticon]

I've seen sellers do things like list all their auctions at $1.00 BIN and then vary the shipping charges (even within the States) according to what figure it is.

Like Hot House for $1.00 BIN, shipping is US$37.50; Bluestreak for $1.00 BIN, shipping is US$70.00.

If it weren't such a dirty trick to pull, I'd commend their ingenuity at avoiding eBay listing and final value fees.

You can report them to eBay who will eventually remove their listing if enough people complain - I think you cite that they are circumventing eBay fees or something along that line.

I've done it a couple of times to some sellers who want to sell an item BIN for $10 but want to charge $90 to post to Australia.

Makes them play fair!

i always find that reporting is a hit and miss kind of thing. Sometimes when the auction has only 2 or 3 days left, reporting seems to make no difference and it still runs its course.... hmmm

As I said, if enough people whinge about it, eBay will do something...

Next time post it here and I'm sure collectively we can all complain enough to make them remove it.

good idea, i'll keep that in mind.

goodness, this guy has been trying to peddle his top half Fracas body, in many many different ways, for months now. The description is quite hilarious too...
