Because packaging costs money, as does time.

Wrong. Try again.

Okay, do tell.

Paypal would reap the most
benefit as ebay don't get their cut from postage. That'd also be the
reason why ebay is moving to free postage in some sectors.

Wrong. Try again.

Again, do tell.

and who has the most to lose from that?

Bog standard sellers that want to start at 99p.

Wrong. Try again.

If I have it so wrong then please educate me.

What do you think is ebay's reason for forcing everyone to use
free postage,

See above

Wrong. Try again.

Do tell (1)

Even though doing
so was just an attempt to save buyers the additional ebay fees they
would have had to pay if post was "free".

Buyers have to pay ebay fees now?

They always have done. All costs associated with selling are passed on
to the buyer.

You're wrong you know. I have never passed any of my costs on to my
buyers.

Then you are a fool. Where is the logic in selling something for less
than it is going to cost to sell it?

But I list on ebay for free and then pay 10% to them and circa 5% to
paypal. My items sell and I get 85%. I'd say that is a pretty good
return. I've also never made a loss on any item I've sold on an overall
basis. You've also got to bear in mind that I don't do BIN listings.

How is that not logical?

Is there a reason why you are pretending sellers do not pass on all
their selling costs to the buyer? Perhaps because you have some reason
to make people think a 1p item with £10 post will still be 1p if post
was free instead of costing £11?

Again where have I said that? I haven't.

And yet you have. How strange.

Sow me the google groups link and I'll happily admit to being wrong.

The way you interpret a post so that your reply can include such gems as
'everyone is picking on me' and 'this group is half full of racists and
i'll do what I can to stop them'.

So "twisting and contorting" is when you pretend that the reason
everyone who exposes anti-racist views is attacked is because nobody
likes me?

Can you point me to where I said that? Tell you what I'll save you the
time, you can't. You are looking a little foolish here.

Can you not read, I didn't say that nobody likes you. I replied to a
post from zoidberg because it genuinely made me laugh.

Would you like to carry on looking foolish?
