Primark warns shoppers not to buy its products online

Primark has warned customers not to purchase its products from third parties online as they will be paying higher prices for them than in store.

Reports had suggested Primark - which does not have an online shop - was now selling its products on Amazon.

However, the High Street chain said that it did not have a commercial relationship with Amazon.

The BBC found popular Primark homeware and fashion products on both Amazon and eBay at a mark-up of between 50-75% in price.

However, the footage suggests the victim had no intention of driving off without the eggs she came for. She returns to the flattened structure, picks out six undamaged eggs, puts them in a box, gets back in her car and drives off.
