But MiniSPares want £26.05 for the same part, without postage.

It is the Verto one - why that makes is over 3x the price of the pre-verto I'm not sure.

I dont get why it matters, just add the postage price to the normal price and get how much you have to pay. If its too much dont buy!

I must admit, I do agree.

You will find that a lot of people on ebay raise the price of the postage and lower the price of the item. I'm sure that with shops like this, it i to reuce te cost of VAT etc.

If it's still a bargain with postage, buy it.

I dunno guys? Is that considered TOO excessive? I was expeicting it to be nearer 10 quid the way you were going on?

The price of the part itself - whilst appearing to be 'only' a washer, is probably justified for a limited run of parts that needs to be both turned and milled. Try getting a machine shop to quote you for one!

That said - I'm glad i've got plenety!

As i understand it people do this to get round the ebay fees that are a percentage of the end price not the postage cost, therefore the sellers fees are less (if the value of the item is 99p and postage say £20 when in reality they are the other way around) although i dont think its that bad in this case. Although i think ebay are cracking down on this type of fee evasion.

Its problably why ebay introduced that rating system with feedback about postage costs, time of delivery, description etc

i dont have a problem with any postage charge on ebay. i class the price of something as the total price which is item plus postage. if you consider it to be too expensive dont bid as easy as that imo

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

most people on ebay put higher postage to avoid final sale fees anyway these days, look at all the stuff from china, 99p and £100 postage lol
