After reading this thread i went to the
Ebay website & did some further reading (especially on the selling part) Ebay takes their payment depending on how the seller displays his/her advert, the seller is also encouraged to use
Paypal which when used depending on the final closed auction price & also takes a slice of the pie so to speak, its a wonder the seller has anything left.
I noticed looking at alot of the ebay selling adverts most sellers leaving out the option to pay using Paypal even on the buyer winning the sale using small amounts as low as -£13.
Surely everything sold on Ebay should be classed as secondhand regardless of whether its been used or not opened?
