The prices they are suggesting is what they will sell it for is 'not normal' in other words way above what I would be expected to pay - but there again it is E bay innit There's one born almost every minute!

Thanks, yes, there is no advantage to this site for most film stock but Foma 200 clearance rolls in 30 metres looks to be the exception

Just a pity that Norm hasn't used his yet but it looks as if it should be OK

I'm the complete opposite to John, as I buy quite a bit on ebay. BUT, I look at other sites as well, to compare prices and the reviews of the seller.

But I know what you mean John, you only have to look at the enormous variation in price for a single roll of HP5+. The higher prices that the film gets sold at, although not as often as the lower priced ones, goes to show that there are inexperienced photographers or / and users of eBay, who end up buying products at highly inflated prices, often way higher than the lowest priced seller, for exactly the same item.

In case I've messed up the link (likely) or the item sells before you see it, here's a screen shot of the offending item - a bulk roll of film displaying itself in the full light of day with no shame whatsoever 😱😟
This may not be exactly as it is shown here. It seems to be a standard Ilford advertising image. I have just come across the same image on the Mathers of Lancashire website and it is exactly the same, so not an original posted on wherever, but an image poached from Ilford.

Bought a tin too. They are also doing 17m for £20 and I am thinking of getting one. Its fine and a really nice film. I had some old FP4 in my loader and swapped them over. I thought I had let some light in so I made a short roll, whacked it in a little range finder then developed it in stock id11 at box. Its a really nice everyday film. Have a look at SFLAB's take on it
