    People moaning about what's going on on ebay?

    Look up the word economics.

    Most of the bids start at 99p it's the buyers who bring the price up not the sellers.

    Do you really think shops sell things at a loss?

    I think it's desperate parents putting the ebay prices up....

    Bought some hamsters fom sainburys, last week, and was charged £14.99 each, so i phoned the customer service helpline and asked why, got a call back saying they have looked into it, and they will be reducing the price to stay competitive, and would refund me the difference. hth

    good for you thats brilliant. i've had a holding email back but no proper answer.

    Yes momo I think we've established that but perhaps parents wouldn't be so desparate if some people hadn't brought all the already scare stock up in bulk - it is as you say though the buyer that is driving the prices.

    thank you for your kind words, I'm sure she will be better soon just needs lots of TLC, quite worrying though, trying not to read all the bad news about the dreaded flu. I think I will have a few late nights! Tamiflu seems to be making her feel sick and have bad dreams so OH been sent to the spare room..

    thanks for your replies.I've already bought zhu zhu beds and carriers as they worked out cheaper from USA.I was just worried the add ons had been made country specific and may not have fit the uk house I've got :)
    may browse cos if I'm going to buy it will have to be before the posting deadline .
    lost my way but now I'm back ! roll on 2013
