    While I can understand the frustration, why should eBay be expected to breach their users privacy?

    For myself I must admit, I'm not very impressed with the A1500 toothbrush so far, it doesn't seem to have as much brushing power as the Oral B I'm used to although the toothpaste that came with it the Colgate Advanced is quite impressive (Only used to Colgate Cavity, but the Advanced seems better).

    Did you get the A1500 toothbrush? I got the mid-range one which is C600. I'm impressed with the toothpaste :)

    I gave a bad review for the John Frieda Shampoo trail and not heard anything since. Worried they expect good reviews from you and don't bother with you again if you give bad ones :(

    I don't know but I worry about that too. Havn't had a trial since Dairylea! I was doing the T&G one aswell at the time and complained as the pump on one of the bottles broke mid-trial! :(

    Every time I go on the site they tell me i'm not taking part in anything and to do some surveys so I have a greater chance of being picked, but i've done them all.

    Hi all!

    For those who are trialling the expensive toothbrushes and concerned about them being sold on ebay by unscrupulous bzz agents, did you have to pay anything for them? I remember when I did the Philips Blu-Lite trial a few years back (3years ago maybe?)that I had to pay £40 for the product (was worth £139). There did seem to be a sudden surge in the number of them for sale on ebay once the trial started. I was a bit annoyed by it but thought maybe people had tried it and wanted to recoup their money.

    Must confessed I sold mine on ebay this year as it recommended I use it in the morning for 30mins and I've never found the time to do it regularly especially in winter when I'd much rather spend that 30mins curled up asleep in my cosy bed.

    That's different, selling after the campaign is over is up to you. I just think that people get invited and have NO intention of completing the campaign are cheating others who genuinely want to trial the product and making a farce out the idea of being a Bzz agent. Both my husband and I have the brushes and will do what we are required for the campaign.

    Yep, same. Do all the surveys as soon as they come through, and still nothing.

    Ironically, I only own a manual toothbrush and have been thinking of getting an electric one for a while, so the current toothbrush trials would have been perfect for me! :(

    I emailed the chap on ebay who was selling a half price voucher for the toothbrush at £2.50 + £1 postage. I asked why would you want a voucher if the toothbrush was already at half price online. Funny cos less than an hour later the item has ended. Also funny was that he had 10 of these vouchers to sell, the same as was given in our Bzz pack. He hasn't replied to my question. He is still selling his toothbrush currently at £70 with just over an hour to go

    I think it's unscrupulous to sell on an expensive product you've been selected to trial but have no intention to try it if you've been given it for free which is why I was wondering whether those trialling the toothbrushes had to pay for the toothbrushes. It would certainly prevent people from getting it for free just to sell it on.
