That appeared on my instagram feed this morning. Pay only for shipping... I smell a rat.

Pay only for shipping

Depends what you're paying for postage. You could easily buy a watch for a couple of quid. You'll find watches on ebay for 1p plus £12 shipping which means they're really an £10 watch.

EDIT - in fact you can buy nice looking watches on ebay for 1p plus £1.99 postage, so in real terms a £1 watch

The question is whether you believe the 'was' price - whether the items have every been sold for, and worth, the price they're suggesting

Ahh, so there is a catch then...

Lets not bother, even at a mere £13 quid postage... 😯

I shall never, ever trust anything I see as an advert on my Instagram feed.

Bought one item that appeared from China several weeks later and then found I could indeed have bought the same for a fraction of the price as jonnyboi points out.

Came oh so close to buying some bargain Salomon shoes after seeing an advert on Instagram; a very convincing looking website until I noticed that the PayPal email address was a gmail account...
