When I first saw the 1 paisa auction on ebay, I was overjoyed that I will be able to buy some goodies for very low prices. But when I bade for some items I found that sellers are managed to sell their item at some predetermined minium values, for which the item is also availble by "Buy Now" method. After a little research I found that the seller themselves were outbidding for the item with fake user ids till their desired value is reached. This is absolutely cheating. I understand that no seller wants to sell item for a loss. But if so why the drama of one paisa sale? just wasting time of newbies like me. Also I found sellers charging different courier charges for the same item. I dont understant how come an item as small as a pen weighing just a few grams wrapped in a carboard box can attract Rs. 600/- shipping cost? ebay must do something to stop this malpractice by sellers, otherwise potential buyers like me will lose interest in this website.
