    Just seen on a listing that ends at 4 minutes to midnight. :rolleyes:
    MUST BE PAID FOR WITHIN 2 HOURS OF AUCTION ENDING BY PAYPAL
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    :rotfl:That's great. "Must be purchased by insomniac or night-worker with internet access..." (so most of MSE would qualify :o)

    Oh bless, I'm sure it would be a kindness to take away ebay accounts from some people.

    I use to use Ebay quite a lot, but don't use it any more as they charges to sell are too expensive as are the charges to accept Paypal. By the time you have sold items it is not worth it.

    Do you sell elsewhere or have you given up entirely?

    Found THIS ONE. Its obviously a new seller. They need more photos to sell this lots of detailed photos of a thing like this will always help sell it. The text is just a list so nothing to grab you to read it. Also they are not offering cash on collection,

    How about this for a description.... It would definitely put me off but as the item is currently at £62 I guess it does the trick for some folks! :confused:
