I have also seen some guys doing it in spain.
I think this is so bad because if the buyer does not see the postage then they have to pay this big postage.
It should be illegal to do this, normally I ask for a refund if I have paid a lot more in postage than what it costed. But I don't think this seller will give a refund.

BIN (wait until Friday though when ebay start adding seller fees to postage as well) then refuse to pay on the grounds that the postage is too high. No way would ebay side with the seller, then he gets stung with £100 in fees.

... makes me think he's done it this way to avoid fees, but from Friday it won't matter anyway so we probably won't see this kind of thing in future

I just sent him a message:
Dear eltom01,
I would like to buy this item but don't like paying postage as its so expensive these days. Can I come to you and pay you the £5 in cash and pick the item up. That way you will get to avoid paypal fees so you will get a bit more off the sale.
Kind regards.

This is the type of seller the eBay postage fee rants should be aimed at. Crap like this gives eBay an excuse to charge fees on postage as its easier to sweep the board with fees rather than examine individual sellers postage costs and take action.
Thanks eltom01 :roll:
I am also wondering what Luke he sold for £500 in his sellers feedback, postage cost was decent on that one. Maybe a dummy auction to get the ball rolling?

I think he has done this to avoid high seller fee's. Think about it. Sell the item at £5, 50p fee. Sell the item at £950, £75 fee. I know ebay supposedly take fee's from postage now as well but I sold something on Sunday and I couldnt see where a fee from the postage was taken. They took the £3 for the item selling at £30 and that was it. Unless its taken thorugh Paypal once thay have paid.
