Wow!
I just ordered an item from abroad and wanted to add several small fitments that go with it. I asked the seller to do an invoice through ebay to me for them all as one order and to include them in my main order which already has postage paid. They came back and said they can't. Frankly, I didn't believe them and thought they were being greedy. Seems from reading on here they weren't and that it is a dumb rule of Ebays now. I'd done this numerous times over the years and never thought anyone could be so dumb as to create that regulation. So, to buy just one little fixing ring costs about £2.40 but postage is £8.60'ish. By the time I finished adding it all up, my purchase was about £18 and postage about £36. Double the cost of my purchase. That rule has lost that company the sale of a further four items. Ebay is losing it's senses. This is why I have cut back using Ebay unless I really have no other option. I feel really sorry for all those sellers who use Ebay to reach distant markets, trying to provide employment and a living for them and their employees while Ebay sit there dishing out laws like they're Gods. I'm regretting this purchase just because of all the crud I have had to wade through and to just get here.
