Hey all,
I've purchased a few items on ebay from top-rated sellers, but it does make me wonder how they can sell the products so much cheaper than normal retailers - is there any catch? How do they do it?
I've purchased IS Clinical Youth Serum and it had a similar manufacturing date to one that I'd purchased on skincarerx.com.
Anyway, I just started feeling a bit uneasy about using ebay.
Thanks,
Jamie |

| Some have some relations with BA so that they can have sample for free or get discounts, some buy it from outlet and rest of them I don't know. |

I would also want to know answer to that... I bought some stuff which price was barely one third of original price. And those things don't look as forgery or something like that  |

| Was the shipping rather high? (higher than you think it should be). |

That does seem to be a quite common eBay practice, a lot of sellers make up their profit with absorbitant shipping charges!
IMHO

I agree... this seems to go on quite alot.
eBay cannot take any fees out of the shipping charges. So if a seller lowers the price of the product, but adds it to the shipping they get away with the fees.
But maybe that wasn't the case for the OP.
Example. Item is worth £10, but seller sells it for £3 (shipping would ONLY cost them £2.95), but they charge £9.95 for shipping to cover the cheaper price of the product they are selling. |

I don't think so. 9,95$ from USA to Europe. |
