I just went on both of the sites above and found loads of items selling for 1p. Have you ever bought somthing for 1p and was the service and product good?

A) Look at the product
B) Look at how much profit the seller makes from P&P
C) Consider the final sale price if it's up for auction rather than Buy It Now
D) Ask the seller as many questions as possible to help you get a better picture of quality
E) Read seller feedback
I have had good and bad experiences. I can't comment any more unless I know what it is you're buying.

Yes, I have bought several items for 1p.....they've all been second-hand book from amazon's marketplace sellers and the quality has been just as described. Of course the postage is about £2.75 but still, if it's a book you've been searching for, then a total cost of £2.76 isn't too bad, I say!
I'd recommend that you check the rating of anyone who's selling stuff before you buy. Only buy from someone with plenty of postives and few, if any, negatives.

The monitor I am using at the moment came from a company selling on ebay, The auction ended and I had the highest bid of £1.00 the next highest bid was 5p so I only had to pay 6p (P&P cost me £15) I have had no problems at all with the monitor so I would say if you can get something for 1p then go for it you have nothing to lose.

If you bid and win the item for 1p , you will find that the postage charge ids probably about £10, more than enough to cover their costs !!!!

ive bought a few things for 1p with free postage on ebay and the service was excellent. on the other hand once i bid on som,e items with 0 feedback and they were new to ebay and they were con asrtists (didnt get conned cos i figured it was a con) so my advice would be to look at their feedback, if they have 0 or negative, dont bid or buy

hiya, alot of items start at 1p or £1 but most of the time bidding takes them up to be alot higher or if you look closely you will see that the postage is really high :0)

Provided the seller has good feedback 95% positive or higher, and the cost of postage is sensible and still makes the product a bargain then should be OK

No, but after all they are only 1p....just watch out for how much the P&P costs.

A seller will list an item for a very low price so he does not have to pay Ebay a high final value fee, he will then make his money on a jacked up postal charge.
