Ebay........v shopping around

[Jillius]

Just looked on Ebay for a dvd that is just out and people are bidding up to �17 on it. Why don't some people shop around on the internet ?? Play.com has the dvd for �12.99 postage free.

some ebay users are indeed retarded.
you can easily make a living selling stuff from the poundshop on ebay.

ive seeen poundshop stuff selling for 1.50 or even 2 quid.
add on a ridiculous 2.50 for postage and the seller has easily made a few quid for posting on ebay.


very often exspensive postal costs can make ebay buys exspensive .

I have sold a lot of stuff from the �1 shops on eBay for a reasonable profit, mostly to customers who live in the Scottish highlands and very rural areas.

Why people pay eBay prices for dvds I don't know. Sendit and Play are two excellent sites and there are plenty of others. And you know 100% they are going to be genuine when you buy from these big companies - the same can't be said for eBay.

A few years ago I noticed a boxed set of videos selling on eBay for �70+. I searched around and found them for �14.99 from Woolworths online. �1.99 postage regardless of how many sets you bought.

I sold 28 sets before Woolworths ran out.

I can't explain why people don't research before they buy.
