Post by: IanT on Apr 27 2020 16:03
A GRS kit- built loco - track powered but could be converted to battery if required I assume...

Well, that's cheeky. How does this work then?

Is it the same seller - or someone taking a punt on eBay?

they have to allow for ebay fees of 10% and paypal fees of 3.4% so the ebay price will be higher to acheive the same net price.

Very true although it might be assumed that the ebay seller would not be paying commission to GRS unless of course they charge the seller fees anyway even if they don't manage the sale. Maybe somebody on here will have used the GRS commission sale route and could comment.
