The individual may be selling vouchers for travel - perhaps won in a competition or similar ... ...

Apparently that is exactly what they are doing:

THIS IS A VOUCHER/PRIZE I WON BUT CAN NOT GO DUE TO FEAR OF FLYING AND FAMILY.

2 RETURN FLIGHTS LONDON-BANGKOK,ELITE CLASS, OPEN DATES
UK-THAILAND TRAVEL BETWEEN 04/08-06/08 OR 09/08-12/08

Be sure to read the full description.

cannot go due to fear of flying?

ha ha... pull the other one its got bells on

Surely the £186 each in tax is enough to have your wallet worrying

The tax sounds about right Axel, with the outbound flight in premium economy then the APD is double that for economy, IIRC it is £80 just for that!

Nothing in the eBay listing causes me to be concerned about the bona fides of the sale. All very plausible.

If the 2 tickets sell for £500 + £372 taxes - I don't think my wallet would be worrying at all.

There is 1 hour to go still not sold may be there will be new listing at a reduced price

Maybe I just don't like all the small print.
I suppose the price is not too bad, if they turn out to be genuine. I think I have seen too many dodgy holiday voucher offers over the years.

Even if they are 100% genuine there is not a massive cost saving to be made. It is only the Premium Economy going out that makes it more affordable than the normal offers that EVA offer, the flexibility on the dates seems to reflect this too.
