Is it me or is this seller extracting the urine (read the big bold print at the end of the listing).

First listing...what on earth is the handling charge for?!

There are some muppets on Ebay this week.... on Sunday some idiot bid and won a crankset I was selling then denied having bid. Yesterday Mrs Gti bought some boots and the seller messaged to say she'd forgotten she had already sold them. WTF?

Attempting to get some cash for it that ebay will not take a % of?

 

[compo]

I was interested in the frame until reading that. It depends on the final selling price whether the extra £15 is worth it. I guess it may be a strange way of setting a reserve though.

Take a penny jar on principle.

It's a straight up attempt to avoid FVF, which eBay have just started charging on postage, (as some eBayers were selling an item for a quid with £10 postage to avoid paying the fees.)

I'd report him for trying to trade outside of eBay if I felt strongly enough about it.

I think some banks now charge for cash handling, maybe he's HSBC?

I suppose I should have done that

 

[DiddlyDodds]

I am imposing a viewing charge of £20 for anyone on here who reads this.
Cash in brown envelopes please.

I'm not sure what I find most offensive. The application of a handling charge, or the size of the font he's written the ad in.

 

[Arjimlad]

Zero feedback, and he's unlikely to be getting any soon... !

 

[simon the viking]

He's a complete Muppet clearly as he's listed it in health, perfumes and fragarancies

And he's put a £35 surcharge on this bike
