    We'll refund all the £2.50 payments over the weekend. I think we get the fees back from Paypal, so don't worry about that. (I realise some of you didn't care anyway - but I promise not to take it personally).

    Just to confirm Paypal refund all charges if you refund the transaction directly.

    Cheers, Des.

  • He he - it was either that or cash all the £2.50 payments and call in at the local on the way home.

    Seriously, we are having problems finding them all - the paypal history screen is running to several pages - if anyone hasn't had a refund by Monday night please email me.

    Hi folks,

    p.s. the ebayers amongst you may want to recheck the original link before you sell it.

    Well - I must declare I didn't start an auction, but if I did I would expect a full refund of my listing fees. ;)

    Best of luck with your site. :)

    Tony, by having the guts and the good humour to respond on this Board, I think you may have done yourself a bit of good. Every success to your business!

  • I think this is a success all round. Laptopbits updating website, got some publicity (1300 reads) everyone had a laugh and brightened up a boring Friday afternoon. Nobody down on the deal.

    Another success for MSE!!! 8)

  • Wow, I hadn't realised so many people were seeing this! Can we keep it going?

    For future reference the site is https://www.laptopbits.co.uk, and we sell parts and batteries for laptops, we do laptop repairs, laptop hire, projector hire.....

    I can't afford to buy this kind of publicity - it works so well that people are still ordering screens! Stop - there's already a worldwide shortage after this afternoon!

    Just reading a few other threads - I'm even working late. Can you guys get me on telly as well? (Even if it is Watchdog?)

    Oh, and Sharna says thanks - she's never seen her name on the net before!

    Have a good weekend :D
