Would you sell a troubled laptop on Ebay for peanuts or cannibalise it and sell single components?
I have an old laptop which is awaiting the last rites. It boots up but it only charges when the laptop is off, the motherboard is cracked, the chassis is cracked, and many more niggles. I'll take the HDD off and mount it on a caddy. The screen works, the wifi card also works, so is the RAM. I could take the bits that works…

Vinted descriptions

Vinted pending to available balance
I’ve used Vinted for quite some time now and usually when a sale is completed the funds are transferred from pending to available straight away.

The buyer then claimed the treadmill wasn't working, and eventually filed a claim with eBay. eBay sided with me as their buyer protection policy excluded claims where the item was collected by a…

Money Moral Dilemma: Is it OK if I choose to sell something to a woman rather than a man?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I've £100 worth of laminate flooring that I've put up for sale online cheaply to get rid of. As the buyer will have to collect, and I'm a woman who lives alone, I've been reluctant to accept any of the offers I've had as they're all from men. I said to a friend that I hoped a…
