I know, so carry a stale sausage roll to beat them with. Can't go into it unarmed.
Ebay or Ebid? Page 2
Thanks to Lee for the heads up about Facebook groups/sales as I'd never considered it before. eBay really gets my goat with its high charges and anti-seller ethos - I tried to sell my son's old pushchair last year and photographed and described the darn thing in great detail. The winning bidder stuck her 4-year-old son in it and complained! Raaahhh.
*and relax - TBN goes to the cupboard, grabs a wine glass, moves to the fridge and pours herself a glass of cold chardonnay*

It's treating us all like Meercats.

I tell you what I used to love, Yahoo Auctions.
Bought a few things off there, but it didn't catch on apparently and shut in 2003.

Yes! I remember that and they had a countdown timer for us snipers. 
Shame it went as I think eBay has got too big for its boots.

Shouldn't that be "Americanizm?"
Have you looked at 'Preloved' ??
Another buying/selling site which is an alternative to the bid ones.
Only used it a couple of times, once selling and once buying, and both times it was a nice smooth transaction.
Have a look as an alternative for your good self

Ta, will give it a look.
Are you buying used ladies underwear again HCT? I thought PayPal suspended your account as a result, but I could be wrong.
The only thing selling on eBay these days is Lego, it's like the gold of the auction sites.

I was cleared on appeal, not that it did me any good as since I have only managed to pick up a pair of Ann Widdecombe's well used Tena Lady pants.
