I ordered a cd from eBay, it arrived today.

It was a normal sized cd in a well sealed, padded Jiffy bag envelope.

It had a 10p stamp on it.

I opened it and found the cd and four loose 18p stamps inside.

The envelope had the sender’s name on the back with the words, “£1.30 postage paid” written underneath.

The 10p stamp came away from the envelope as I was opening it and I saw it had brown paper stuck to the back.

The envelope was white so that stamp must have been reused.

There was no indication that the postman had wanted me to pay the extra postage.

The cd was only ordered a few days ago and arrived very quickly, especially for an eBay item.

I’m reasonably sure this is not how the postal system is supposed to work.

I have many questions about this whole affair.
