Two valid reasons to do this, though this is a silly way to do it and
breaks rules in one case. My cousin who has a sale rating in the tens
of thousands selling dime (litterally yes, dime) novels sometimes
forgets to send a book along to someone. To get postage, they will put
up a 2 cent auction and close it. Ebay's discount they have for their
account applies to shipping a 2 cent item as well as for shipping
anything else.
Way cheaper than post office.
I have a sale open right now and the seller is digging on things he owes
me, and i bought a small item to allow shipping and also getting around
ebay's stupid blocking of identity exchanges (which I've done anyway).
Some high feedback sellers are afraid of the 500# gorilla and won't do
that.
And of course could be stupid, but the seller has a 987 feedback so I am
doubting that.
thanks
Jim
