    An interesting tactic

    I'm thinking: "4 x 2oz lunars for $99 BIN ... wtf?"

    .... then I see the postage charge.

    :/

    They do this to avoid ebay fees I think since postage isn't included in the % of selling price.

    This was a while ago though not sure if they changed policies.

    .... and reported to eBay as in violation of listing terms and conditions. :)

    I could fly to Hong Kong, pick up items and still save money on postage costs. LOL

    The point within a circle...
    AirAsia would probably fly you there for LESS than the postage costs... One return ticket please! :cool:
