Maybe im cheap and think this is a bit OTT considering i have found a front bumper, old item new out of stock with all the front gubbins for £20 last month (sold before i could get my grubby mitts on it)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Ne...#ht_1995wt_910

it dosent come with the plastic blanking plates, or the central grille. i think its a joke myself? you could buy another 460 with decent bumpers (almost)

may have been to circumnavigate ebay fees

if someone contacts me on here, or comes to mine, and wants a load of bits and one of those parts is currently listed on ebay, I just convert to a BIN/fixed price auction, put a silly high price, to ensure no one buys it, then just let item 'not sell' ignore the 'do you want to relist for nuffin message from ebay' and save the 10% commission, IIRC ebay allow about 2 or 3 auctions to be ended early without paying final value fees, so it gets round that

If I want to sell something on ebay, to one person for £90, I will list at say £500 BIN, with best offer option, and £85 P&P, tell person who wants it, to make best offer of £5, and I'll accept it.

40p listing, and 50p Final value fee =90p but with buyer and seller protection on the whole sale.

if listed at £80 + £10 P&p, then 40p listing fee and £8.00 Final Value fee = £8.40

I would rather pay £7.50 less on fees and pass saving onto buyers

Not so anymore. You are obviously not aware that the final fee structure has changed to also take a 10% final value fee off the postage cost on the listing!

So using your example, £80 + £10 p&p, then its a 40p listing fee and £8.00 final value fee for the item and a £1 final value fee for the postage = £9.40.

Straight up! Its robbery as when you get paid by Paypal they also take a 5.25% cut of the ORIGINAL total of £90, so a further £4.725 in paypal fee's bringing the total deductions to £14.125!

Just thought I should point this one out as many people are unaware it came in recently!
