Yoshi exhaust: 99p (By it now as well !!!) + £600 postage

Is it just me or does this tactic just make you want to buy it and demand to pick it up in person :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Any additional cost is just that - the vendor can call it an arrangement fee, admin charge, congestion charge - they're all just another bl**dy cost

they do it to cut down on ebay fees as they are much higher for a £600 item than a 99p...

it's been going on for 2 years at least.

wonder where you would stand if you bought and said that you wanted to pick up rather than have it posted though... im sure that there is no rule that says you cant pick up.
