^^^ Sounds like a decent fellow.

If he's charging to print them, then he's charging for them, regardless of how he words it. I mean, I don't really care, but I could just as easily say that I'll ship you a free PS3 and all that you'd pay is a $300 handling charge.
It can't be free unless it is 100% free. The same goes for all that infomercial crap. "FREE set of knives with the juicer!" No, they've just priced it so that they make money on the transaction, period. Free is a bullshit term in sales. It means nothing and it's sole purpose is to attract suckers.
Now if he was doing it at zero profit, then we'd have a slightly different situation...

I've reported the publication to mercadolibre... Let's see if they take it down or at least contact me to explain why am I reporting something fishy.

So re-reading their blog, I noticed something missing. Oh whatever could it be?
Now we can't even email them because we called their bluff =(

What I meant is if it's purely print service = customer sends the image to be printed -> then it's OK. If that is not OK then printing at Kinkos or other such place is wrong too, right? ;)
