he says he isn't well and just asked the guy to 'shove it in the garage', didn't get round to looking at it for a couple of days

tbh, I don't care if he did get a lathe and a refund, I don't think he was on the fiddle, but it didn't cost me anything in the end so I couldn't care less.

Glad it worked out for you! Makes sense the delivery company would waive their industry-standard-since-forever policy on compassionate grounds (and don't need publicity about smashing and pilfering).

I broke a pair of sunglasses on the weekend, so I'm selling the lenses (linky in case anyone's interested - Oakley half jacket lens kit). I've decided to stick them on ebay for no other reason than I want to get rid of them and it's convenient. Anywho, they've changed the selling procedure since I last used it, and found this suggestion thingy.

The lenses are going for the £20 to £30 mark new, so why it thinks a second hand set would be ripe for the picking at £37.85 is a tad confusing.

Don't they get more in fees if you start an auction at a higher price?

(nod) That's what I thought, but the thing's still got to sell though and there's less chance of that if I'm selling at an inflated price.

Could you fit these lenses into them?

Buy the lenses anyway. Then you're half way there to getting a non-broken pair.

Unlikely. I buy the kind that fit over regular glasses, look like welding goggles and cost 25 bucks.

Listing fees are charged regardless if an item sells or not (and higher start price normally means higher listing fee, think it's fixed rate-ish for buy it now stuff though).

I seem to get 20 free listings a month though (still have to pay final value fees). Perhaps through the mobile app or something.

The do the occasional 'offer' too where you're able to list for free.

ISTR the last time I was selling stuff on there they had a policy where you could list for free, but only paid any fees if the item sold, any subsequent relistings were also free until the point of sale.

They're a shower of bastards if they've changed that now.

Nice, aren't they? If only they did them in tortoise shell.
