Did you buy it on a credit card? I seem to remember some card issuers were running a promotion for payment protection where you were protected against price being decreased within a certain time after buying.

because he would then have to bump up the price etc etc whereas , at 150 quid...its cheap, and it fools people into automatically bidding/buying etc
Plus im sure its a pain in the backside having to order 20+ cables, manuals etc etc
The only thing i would do is supply the links etc in an email before the ipod was sent out, allowing the customer to aquire the needed items before the ipod turns up (or near enough etc etc)

£150's not cheap - they're only £50 more in the shops. £150 was his price for a full-loaded iPod (20gb), not some random iPod which someone was probably mugged for.

But your item listing doesn't say it's in packaging!!
Why list the iPod in packaging, but not include things like a mains adapter and headphones?

the ipod itself is in the packaging, the plactic wrap that comes around it with the writing on it.
and if u look, some of them DO come with headphones and a mains adapter
