Contacting eBay with a free text field.
I want to report someone to eBay for circumventing fees but the only way I can find to do it is by a standard form where there's no place for free text.
I want to buy three items from a seller, two are the same and are listed at £1.75 each with £5.10 postage and the third is £1.99 with £4.99 postage so I mailed him through eBay thus.. Quote:

So if I just enter the item numbers on that page, it'll do no good, I need to send the text of my messages to eBay. Can I find a way to do so? Can I buggery. Anyone know a link/form for reporting people to eBay where I can put free text?

Is it really worth your effort? I doubt they'll care, especially enough to bother doing anything about it.

Me neither. The difference in listings fees at that level isn't going to be much, and it seems to be a commonplace practice (99p item with £3.01 postage is one I've come across).

No idea, but it really grinds my gears when people do it
 divine` is right though, they won't do anything about it.

Well they made a big thing recently about unreasonable postage costs and it is cutting into their income.

Depends on the definition of unreasonable (size and value obviously count). £15 does sound a bit off though.
Anyway, if you still want to do it, go through 'report a user' instead. @Kitten - no, they're not. They're doing away with neg feedback from the seller |

Bought (won) a card reader yesterday for £0.01, but with £4.49 postage costs...
There was the option of getting it sent via Special Delivery for £11.99... WTF! I sent Kellee an entire system (well, mobo, RAM, CPU and HS/F) for about £6...

It is daft, I remember a couple of sellers I dealt with always used to combine the postage if you bought multiple items off them.

It worked out much cheaper buying separate items from separate sellers.
