Are the chairs in the auction?

Are they going to be generous enough to pay ebays percentage or is the sucker expected to pay that as well?

I think they pay the eBay charges.

If it goes for more than £30 they charge one third of the final value.

I can't work out what the chairs are for.

anyone who takes their stuff there to be sold needs their head looked at...they take £10 of your cash if it sells for £30 or less...or if it goes for more than they take a third...so if it goes for £13 - you get £3

...the chairs will be for 'customers' to sit on after they have collapsed with shock after being told how little they will be getting back from that silver service set they handed in last week..

and what happens if a prospective buyer asks you a question - do they answer it for you ? I am presuming you lose all your ebay rights when you go with this mob... as in you cant cancel the auction at any time blah, blah blah...

thats deffo money for old rope...and before anyone says they dont have a pc and its a good idea ...you then use loot or the free ads..I hope they are wearing stripey jumpers and masks cos they are robbing folk blind...and I wonder just how much ebay are making from them..cos I presume they do have ebays permission to display their name in the shop window

..I will say they dont...

I think it is an ebay shop where the staff are willing to try and market and sell your items on ebay for a fee, I will be checking this shop out shortly as a result of my work, and the fact that I like to keep my ear to the ground regarding business in Accrington. I can provide an update when it has been checked out.....watch this space! lift-n-shift

WillowTheWhisp · 07-11-2006, 22:09

Er, it IS an eBay drop-shop moonbyter. I already checked it out.

Watch this space.............

Wonder what their ebay id is ...

Rip-Offs-R-Us?

I've heard of these sort of shops in other parts of the country. I wonder if they are connected and if they all charge the same rates.

Time for an RT query methinks.
