phawley Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I bought this item 271073780604 from Ebay last week for £2.99 it is a coachline for my car and unfortunately I found that the 10 mtrs was not enough to finish the job so I went back onto Ebay to buy another one only to find that the price had gone up to £29.99 an increase of £27.00. Obviously I thought the seller had made a mistake and messaged them only to be told that their original supplier had gone bust. Who in there right minds would consider buying a roll of tape for £30 when they can be bought for less than a fiver at the local car spares.

Leah-Lacie Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Some sellers dont want to lose the (X amount sold) records of their listings, and so dont want that listing to end. To keep it on (maybe until they get a new supplier) they multiply the price by 10 to a ridiculous amount nobody will pay, to keep the listing up until they can restock. I once noticed a seller selling headphones for £9.99, but in one colour variation, they were £99.99, so i messaged them, thinking they had made a mistake, and they explained that to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phawley Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Thanks for that explanation Leah that could be the case but I would have preferred it if the seller had explained that to me instead of coming up with ridiculous excuses.
