"you will receive 100 rolls"
Sounds like Poundland put that waybut... but... but.... ten rolls for a tenner....
must.... be.... sensible....
I'll take one for the team, and let you all know in three months whether I've lost £11.89 or whether I'm sat with a mountain of 6 year expired film
The Chinese government subsidises the postage, there's loads of stuff on ebay delivered for free from China that is cheaper than the same product from a UK seller. You' just got to be prepared to wait a month to get the goodsGiven that it's free shipping, and apparently from the mysterious orient, does anyone know how much of a loss is being made on each sale?

Excellent question.
Normally, the delivering company (in this case Royal Mail?) will put a card through telling you how much you owe in customs and VAT as well as their handling fee.... I guess you can opt not to pay it and a few posties wil be getting free film!
Wildly guessing at 20% on a £3 roll of film, that's 60p per film, or £60! Plus handling! And that's *still* less than £1/roll
No doubt Carl will keep us updated
Well, day 6 and as expected still no film
Their recent feedback is amusing though... I can't understand how people actually bought this expecting to receive their film? I'm not the sharpest crayon on the cake but even I can see it's got scam written all over it
I'm surprised eBay has let them leave negative feedback so quickly after auction end... Have you started the process to get yours back yet? Or are you still optimistic
Also it looks like they've sold 95 of these, so if they manage to get the money out of PayPal and do a runner, they've made about £1,130
Looks like there’s more bargains to be had.

PayPal allows up to 180 days to raise a dispute, so I'd suggest keeping your Proof Of Postage for a little bit beyond that. It's not as if they take up a lot of room.I think there's a 90 day window and once outside that you've had it. That's how long I keep my receipts of postage when I'm selling.

I had some trainers with a month delivery advertised arrive within 48 hoursYou can get lucky with delivery times from China\Hong Kong\Taiwan as I bought a computer accessory on 6th June saying delivery time 24th June to 18th August......and it arrived on the 19th June
My how the tables have turned
It is posted?Update! eBay has given me a refund now, and the money is back in my PayPal account.
Weirdly I got an email from the seller this morning, apologising that their account is under review, but saying that the item has been sent to the post office.
Perhaps they don't know they've been rumbled? My how the tables have turned
Apparently it is open, but strict social distancing and biosecurity measures mean that you have to stay where you are, he has to stay where he is, and no money or goods can be exchanged between you in case it spreads the virus.What about the rest of us, biting our nails, suffering anxiety attacks and generally emotional wrecks due to the uncertainty of whether Hall's Photographic Supplies will open?
