Hi all,
I see so many listings for items that are:
- free postage
- less than $10 in price, sometimes even only $5 or less
- say they're sent as a parcel with AusPost
- the dimensions of the item definitely wouldn't allow them to actually send it as a letter
Here's one example:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/395704247873?itmmeta=01JDQPAGGET5FP0AGGJDHP0PPP&hash=item5c21cfa641:g:8DoAAOSwrwpm7F3a
AusPost parcels, even on high volumes through AusPost Business, are at least $8 or more right?
So are these sellers doing some kind of weird money laundering thing and deliberately losing money?

·1 year agoFor a start the seller you list there is beyond dodgy so who knows what they are doing
You can hardly compare what a seller who has 14 negs negs in the past month alone does to what a genuine seller does, especially how many are for items never arriving (I'd be surprised if they were ever sent)
