It's a system designed to get rid of private sellers who sell low price items under £5. It isn't worth doing, when you factor in the ridiculous buyer protection fee, and how it takes up to 14 days to get paid in many cases. Why is how you post your items got anything to do with e-Bay?

The BPF is a total rip off. You don't need it, they already have a money back guarantee and counties in most cases will compensate for breakfast or non delivery. The prices you see are different if your either a buyer or seller. When you bid you don't really know what you're bud is! It's a joke and I'm out of here, for the second time in a year.
