eBay's latest scam is to charge you for buying {buyer protection fee], and then they add VAT on that.
adds a far bit to end price what with postage and all
Also staring to dictate what postal service to be used.
Plenty of alternatives now with Facebook,,etsy,vinted and others. they'll shoot themselves in the foot soon.

So I still buy local when I can, in Devizes we have an old style car accessory shop run by a woman who knows her stuff and sells all sort od useful stuff.
