Bought a printer for a friend from Amazon and today got an email offering the usual range of accessories - inks paper etc including compatible 1290 colour ink cartridges at 1p each. Ordered 10 just for my mate and luckily checked the bill before clicking confirm.

£45.00 postage for items charged at 10p

Always check anything from Amazon as to what the carriage will be as their outside supplier seems to charge 4.50 per item not package!

rotters, not what i expect from such a well regarded company.

It's the "Amazon traders", not Amazon itself.

Indeed it is, but its still Amazons reputaton on the line. The whole point is to be different from ebay nad having the backup from Amazon, so that customers feel safe ordering from them. This kind of thing will destroy that imo.

exactly as joe said. i know it's not amazon themselves, but it's their name on the line.

i use the 'buy it new and used' all the time as a hassle/paypal free version of ebay precisely because i was sick of this on ebay.
