It's not that rare I find for prices to be (slightly) lower from a
business on eBay than direct from their own web site. I guess it
gives them a bit more flexibility to provide 'trade' discounts when
selling direct.

I find the postage is often better on ebay - often the supplier will have a
flat delivery rate like £10+VAT, when on ebay you're buying one item and
they calculate delivery specifically for that item alone.

Given the 'free delivery' obfuscation (it's not free, it's bundled into the
price), it can often be cheaper to go to ebay to buy one item and the
supplier's website to buy several.
