Default ebay-WTF?

Rightly or wrongly, I always thought ebay was the place for a bargain.

Now I know if you hunt (and depending on what you want) you can pick one up, but this just takes the ****.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fairy-Liquid-W...item4aa42eff1a

At work and at Asda a bottle is around a pound (500ml) so even if I had to buy 4 to make up the amount, I'd still have saved myself nearly £7 going by this ad alone. Plus the ad is misleading, it says 1ltr in the title and further down it says 650ml.

I think such ads just prey on people who don't like to go out, at least they get free postage.

Don't ask how/why I stumbled on that btw.

If I need to answer, I was bored.

Maybe he/she thinks the £7 postage is a bit steep.
