I just won a OBC wiring loom which i need from Ebay

Complete kit minus actual display which ive got..

This seller is in England and wants Ԛ£12.50 P&P ... do i get his car in the package too? :?

Ive emailed him...yep i might get a dodgy feedback but im NOT paying that for P&P..

Its only a loom FFS!

NOTE TO SELF: Allways look at P&P << F-kin N00b

lol

no but apprently he has had all the wire casing stripped and has it enbedded in Gold plated resin with has E30 stamped along its length..

thus is adding to the extra weight which in turn adds to his P&P charge :wink:

Id rather lose my account and make another than to pay that postage...thats just rediculous..its not the money but principle from me being a dik and him taking the p i s s

You can actually complain to ebay about unfair P&P, what this will do is anybody's guess, but i might do something.

Its against ebay rules to have over infalted postage charges, but many seam to do it...

well..ive sent the guy an email...i got the cash here but he gota drop that P&P or give me good resone why he has it so high...

looks like to me he put a high postage to give him a bit extra on the total not knowing how much he will get..

i say about a five max for that...cant way much just for an OBC loom

your other option is to do what I do.

tell the seller to stuff the postage up his rectum.

Have parcelforce48 service collect and deliver the item for you.

Cheap as chips.
