Is this a good deal on paracord?

I bought 100m of starter cord from eBay for £8 - it's more wear resistant than paracord, stretches less and is rated at about the same strength. I'd wager that the Poundland "paracord" is 50 feet, not metres, and although it's fine for general use, it's pretty poor quality

Actually the cord I used to make the bow was starter cord from a petrol strimmer lol

That multi core one is advertised as 550lb (250kg) and the cheaper single core one is the same breaking strength. Is the cheap one lying?
