E-bay quick tip to beat them and get a bargain.
The new e-bay site (based on the American version) is designed purely to make e-bay more money.

Payday booms?
Marketing seems to be a big deal around pay days of late, do any sellers experience very big jumps in trade? We seem to get a little up in trade for a day or two, but nothing exceptional, except on a couple of products. If you are a slave to payday, apart from bills, etc, what do you spend your spare cash on early on?

Overseas bidders on Uk auctions
Twice in the past few weeks, I have created a UK auction on Ebay, but overseas buyers have managed to bid. Yesterday, I did another, and this morning I have an overseas bidder. I have checked, and the auction says UK only and no international shipping option. Have I missed something, or is anyone else seeing this ?

Bought a printer, tested it, found it to be working fine, sold it 3/3/13. Buyer was a real genuine guy and had a good 10min chat with him. Came back to me and said he is having problems with it.

Rage !
Grr this is the first time this has happened to me but I am 99% convinced a seller wont be following through on a sale. I bid and won an item (I was the only bidder) however the start price was reasonable and was set by the buyer so you would assume they would be happy with the price however I bought it at the weekend its…

Seller 'pulls' item before end of auction.
Twice in the last couple of months I've been watching Ebay items with a view to bid........and the seller suddenly ends the auction with a couple of days to go. :mad: Both items were pick up only, and the last one even had a bid on it. It's pretty obvious that the sellers must have had offers they couldn't refuse and sold…
