Has been going on for a while. Extremely high first. Now extremely low (EUR 0,04) http://stores.ebay.nl/Rare-Finds-and-Collectables I suffered from a totally different glitch this week: The Item Specifics glitch. Under Item specifics > "origin" eBay automatically filled in the wrong country of origin without me noticing it. Japan instead of Finland, France instead of Germany etc etc. A great way to puzzle your potential customers. After I removed everything - one hell of a job - and I made a revision to an item eBay did it AGAIN. eBay should compensate for their glitches. It takes lots of time to work around them and they are no incidents but here all the time :neutral: Same here (from .nl). Has been going on for a while. Extremely high first.

Does anyone have any examples that are not from .com? So, we’re agreed this is borked in both directions: showing too little *and* too much postage.

Does anyone have any examples that are not from .com?

That is going to go down like a pile of very shi**y bricks when they discover that it is NOT free.... it shows the correct postage in the actual listing, but hey! which one are people going to try to hold me to?
