    or woman...

    of course they might not be awful, but if you don't use The NHS, Police service, schools etc... well, it must be terrible to have to pay towards them:rolleyes:

    Well, you might have a point there because not everyone deals with the police, and not everyone has kids. Or goes to the library. And not everyone goes on the dole and gets the benefit of all those years of NI payments they made. And some of us won't ever get a state pension.

    But perhaps it's not the best place for this argument!

    I realise you have an agenda with Big Wardrobe but can we please try and keep the posts useful. We have no idea what the OP wishes to sell and can't assume it is clothes so suggesting a niche site is not going to help if the OP has, for instance, electronics or Cds to sell. Also, realistically BogWardrobe is not growing anywhere near as fast as it might be hoped so to sell anything it is way down the list of alternative sites, if OP asked for other sites then surely ebid or Tazbar would be the next most logical for general items.


    Either way, by using Ebay you are supporting it and helping the joke-of-a-company stay in business! We need more people to stop using it and switch to something else. They days of big Ebay profits are gone!:eek:

    This is a common argument on here. Whilst there is no real alternative sellers like me will continue to use ebay, my listings have in fact just got cheaper so why on earth would I leave and sacrifice my pin money?

    all i can suggest is make sure you have clear pictures, specially if its clothes, nothing worse than a top/dress being described with lace or ruffles and you cant make it out on the picture
