Overpriced shipping costs
Hi everyone.
Have you ever come across users who list an item for auction starting at €1 and then maybe set shipping costs at crazy amounts? I’ve even seen €90 for shipping. What does it do, deliver it by bicycle? Can’t these clowns be banned?

On eBay there are rules about excessive shipping charges, see here:

It's up to you to judge whether there are grounds to make a report.
But I want to add one thing.
An item at 1 euro and 90 in shipping means that if you win the item, you'll pay 91 euro.
The seller will still pay the fees on 91 euro.
In the case of a purchase as an item not as described, you will receive a full refund of 91 euro with shipping costs charged to the seller.
So decide whether the item at that price may be of interest to you or NOT.
Kind regards.

·3 years agoIn the past it was done to evade eBay fees (which were calculated only on the cost of the item), today for pure marketing reasons.
