I was browsing ebay and saw the new tall stories board for buy it now price of 99p ???? when you look at postage it is £13.25 2nd class recorded delivery which
would be excessive in my opinion (I remember sending a board to someone 1st class recorded and it was less than £3 plus a £1-£2 for the padded envelope).
There are several other boards for cheap buy it now and high postage, it does seem they are just avoiding the charges ??? Or am I being over zealous ??

Excessive posting costs are against eBay rules as it falls under "Fee Avoidance". At the bottom of the item page, there is a heading of "Other
options" - just below this is a link to "report this item". click on that link and follow the on-screen instructions

i have also found a listing on ebay for a board by the glitter girls for 99p with £13.00 postage and packing. i have today reported them for excessive fees.
this is totally out of order and i certainly hope that nobody buys from them - that way they will have to reduce their prices of get left with the items they are trying to sell |

Maybe its a way of them not haveing to pay hardly any commision.Not that i agree with it.Plus i was thinking if there power sellers they would have to pay tax
on there sales this wouldnt include postage.All in all a big fiddle all round i think
