Now £350 but with free postage! lol, Apparently dealers place adverts on ebay for a set fee and when they sell out of the items they alter the price to one no one will bid on and then lower it back down when they have new stock. They apparently save a lot of money in ebay listing fee's this way.

My Brothers bike shop used to have an Ebay shop account for selling off old stock until a few years ago. He closed the account after they sent him notification of changes to the account that would save him lots of money. When he looked at the details a lot of listing charges were reduced or removed, but only if you listed a minimum number of items - can't remember how many but it was in 4 figures! For lower volume user like him the charges had more than doubled, to the point that it was more expensive than a standard account. Because it was a business they wouldn't let him go back to a standard accout, so he now just lists the odd thing on his private accout that he had before the shop.

I once listed a Fiat 127 brochure on E-Bay and clearly listed it as a brochure, yet I still had one person bid on it then ask what condition the car was in!
