The market failed in this example and if you want to start an auction at .99p with a promotion and prepared to sell it for £1.20, you are basically paying double for advertising. Each to their own.
I see you included a stamp to demonstrate it could be for holding stamps. As it was more likely a pill box perhaps you should have included a paracetamol....😊
Still, on the bright side, the OP is a business seller, so not suffering SD. But suffering some eye watering fees even before promotion, on this ridiculously non-level playing field.
I think it was just as likely to be a stamp box. Stamp dispensers had many designs and are collectable in their own right. I don't deal in stamps but that stamp is quite a good one with some high prices.
I hadn't thought of that. In any case, the listing of drug paraphernalia is banned on eBay. I think stamps or pills are the likeliest use. Many people posted cards every day as it was their only means of remote communication apart from telegraphy and telephony so having stamps to hand was necessary.
Yeah, think your right and its probably to small for an opium or snuff box. Could have made a cool story though, picked up by an English soldier during the second opium wars and brought back
Whether eBay indicates value is debatable. It indicates value on eBay but many items fetch much more in other marketplaces where richer consumers shop. However, entry into those markets as a seller is difficult and expensive.
