{May 31, 2006}   Ebay

So many things, where do I start?!
Although I’ve never had any problems buying stuff from ebay.co.uk, theres still some damn annoying things about it!
Firstly, they let people get away with doing a ‘Buy It Now’ for £0.01, and then charging £10 for postage, so the person gets to avoid the fees… They need to set a standard, for UK to UK sending, if its a certain weight, you pay so much. I don’t expect (regardless of the item price) to pay £3 for what’s supposedly just postage and the item arrives with a 2nd Class stamp on it. Although the total may equal the same had the item gone for the price you’d expect, but still, I like to think I got value for money, and the way my mind works, that just doesn’t seem like it to me!

Then there’s the waiting about days and losing in the last 5 minutes… Ok so the whole point of ebay is that it’s an auction, but still! It’s just not fair. :(

And theeen! There’s the people who can’t spell and/or manage to post in the right categories, it’s not hard, and just means they pay the listing fees and stand no chance of selling anything :P

But saying that, it’s alot cheaper than buying things from proper shops, including online ones, because people pay what they want, and not whatever the shops decide to charge…

Anyways, off I go to watch that listing till I leave tomorrow morning for 2 weeks, I’m better win it though, or I’ll scream…
