It is in the interest of Ebay to limit postage, not the seller or buyer as a seller you don't get charged on the "final value fee" for postage so if Ebay can stop sellers from inflating postage, the seller has to sell higher and a bigger % profit for Ebay. and less for the seller.

Welcome to the forum Ryan

Get it before some other Pentax forum user does

Welcome to the forum

Mike you lucky person, don't rub it in

So big fuss about nothingi must have missed that bit
Pentax are for me, the best there is, try Canon. A friend of mine did buy one, not just a 450D but a 1D mk3, mega money, he was still waiting for his cash 4months later.
He did get it back in the end after writing phone calls etc.

Did you send claim "recorded mail?"
Also the "bar code tabs" off boxes?
If not could cause hold up.

Hows This one Mike, Early last year, no names mentioned but a seller of Nikon/Canon cameras suddenly bought all the “refub” cameras from “Clear our gear,” Jessops ebay shop, he must have had a total of £5000 worth.
His ebay “Shop” disappeared over night leaving buyers/sellers out of pocket.
I do know he is now trading again on Ebay with a “front name” not his own.
As far as I know he has done this several time before, renting industrial units, and when the time is right he does a moonlight flit.
I just wonder how many more are like him?

I have stopped selling on Ebay, it just is not worth the hassel , I have a feedback of over 700 and 100% and did sell all over the world (my old camera kit) with no bother, but seeing how it is run now, you are open (As a seller) to black mail from the scammers.
Amazon is just as bad and it costs more.
When I get round to it I will list some of my surplus kit on this forum site. To like minded people that I can talk to.
