I've been scammed
I bought a buy it now DVD from ebay - not badly priced at £4.99 with 99p postage I thought.
3 days later it arrives - brand new and direct from Amazon - DOH!!!
So I check Amazon and find I could have bought it for £3.99 including postage AAARRRRG!!!!!
I have to admire the audacity of the seller though - even though the note was signed 'your smurf' which I think may be a derogatory urban
slang term of some sort.
Still I've learned my lesson and will check prices more thoroughly in future.

I suspect in this case it translates roughly to "you're a c*ck"

thanks for the tip. 
I've been looking at the guys feedback - he seems to be doing 5-10 of these per day and everyone leaves him glowing feedback
Maybe they are all too embarrassed to admit they could have got it cheaper from amazon

There is absolutely loads of stuff on ebay that can be had cheaper elsewhere, but I'm sure thousands of people do the same as you and just buy
it without checking (or maybe even caring). I would be a bit annoyed, but at the end of the day it's only a quid.

£2 with the postage he charges but doesnt pay for.
Just ebay fees of a few pence.

Nothing wrong with what hes doing in my opinion, its entirely your own fault for not shopping around - plus hes hardly charging any extra!
A bird in the hand....

Shaft him with paypal then if you feel like you've been had. Or accept it and leave feedback telling everyone to beware.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

I agree. In fact, I you've got me thinking about how to write a system to list items automatically.

Tell Amazon about him - you might get refund.

Ingenious idea.
I thought Iron Man 2 was a bit of a sad affair. It just seemed to go on for ages without much happening and I was hugely disapointed to only hear 2
AC/DC songs when they apparently 'did the soundtrack'.
Not a patch on the first.

That awesome.
Apparently the bloke selling megajolts for £250 does about the same.
