Has postage gone up?

See this a lot when item is out of stock. It saves cancelling the listing & re-posting once in stock.
 
I've just reported this to eBay, I fail to see why I should keep within the guidelines when you have jokes like this on there. This is my Sunday morning sense of humour failure. 😛rrr:

It's listed in that way to avoid fees.

Ebay charge 10% final value fee on the sale price, but that excludes postage charges.
 
i presume we are loking at the same item.
it says 4.99 for the item opening bid and 13.50 for shipping.

it is based in ireland so it would have to be shipped across.
i often buy from ebay and have to pay that in courior charges.
unfortunitly there isnt much you can do . thats the cost of shipping.

i was buying some empty festool systainers last year.
d and m tools wanted 145 euro to ship,
axminister wanted around 100
bunnies bolts woulnt ever quote
power tools gb (rexcrystals) shipped for 8 GBP:hurray:

shop around
and if its a dear quote ask the seller to ring round the couriors and say you will too
when you get other couriors involved (or they think ther areother quotes comming in) then it is amazing how much cheaper it becomes

No, P&P on the item is EUR 3,999.00 (£3,309.81)
 
its only 13.50 euro on the .co.uk site.

not sure where you see 3999 euro.
it is offered less the box for less
 
ebay screen_edited-1.jpgthis is the .co.uk screen
 
Yes that p&p is right its delivered by Royal Mail thats there new first class rate why its so high is that Royal mail will lose it and it will travel round the world three times before you get it in 2015.

Alan, you're seeing it as cheap because you're in Ireland, where the item is.
The guy has entered a silly amount for international shipping, but has kept the normal postage for local, meaning Ireland.

Also, he's physically entered that, that's not an automated eBay guestimate or anything like that.

You get to enter a shipping price, and then if you click 'ship internationally' you get extra postage options where you can set an additional postage charge. So he's just done that and entered 3999 - probably because he doesn't want to ship internationally but didn't realise he's clicked the 'ship internationally' button.

Or perhaps he's checked the box for Northen Ireland and eBay has forced him therefore to select ship internationally, and because he doesn't want to mess around shipping to Britain or elsewhere, he's entered a silly postage amount.

Item location shows as Wicklow, Ireland.


[h=3]Postage and packaging[/h]

Item location: Greystones, Wicklow, Ireland
Postage to: Worldwide
 
but at the very end he says shipping to the uk with no box is 10.50 euro .
so he knew what he was doing.
i only wanted to post the pic to show the difference
 
Shows as 3999 Euros when United Kingdom is selected from the dropdown in the postage area for me mate.
