    Over there ? .................................................. .............Lowest Price £3.54p

    Both with free postage.

    Talk about a no brainer and NO BRAINS!

    Every time I list an item here, it is cheaper than anyone on eBid, ebay, Play & amazon.

    I try and check my prices every month to ensure that they are still the cheapest.

    Take the last sold item from me on here
    Cat it senses £7.40 inc P&P
    ebay £12.90
    Amazon £11.75
    Play non listed
    eBid no one else

    if it is only pennies of a difference like you quoted i always buy on ebid. I too check my prices but sometimes the item is available from China or Hong Kong at a price lower than I paid for it so I list it anyway in case someone doesnt want to wait a month or so for it.

    We need to educate the thickies! lol

    Many complain that they can't sell on ebid.

    Incredible!

    They just don't get it!

    You CAN lower your prices and STILL make more money than you would over there!

    Did you consider contacting the seller to see if they would match or better the price, does'nt hurt to ask.

    Since the additional costs over there should be absorbed into the selling price why would your listing price be the same here?
    What would entice the buyer to buy here?
    Pretty sure we all know the answer to "let's see how it works out". Where would you rather sell the items?
