I must admit I have sold a funhouse on Ebay, but not to make money! I sold it as A "BUY IT NOW" £29.99 inc postage. It got snapped up straight away. I paid £19.99 for it, First class recorded postage came to £5.20, ebay charged me £3.37, Paypal took £1.22 and I got 21p to cover the packaging!

But there will be a happy child (or adult) xmas morning!

ebay charging you £3.37 seems a bit steep and paypal charges also:rolleyes:

Wilkinsons website is really messed up - put my order in online but wouldn't load the bank verification page. Called to order over the phone which was fine until the order was confirmed - then dropped a hamster off the order and the payments didn't add up - girl on the phone said I seemed to have store credit somehow??! Now investigating why and where my missing hamster has gone...

Trauma!

I (amongest others) had trouble with Wilkinson's online on their recent half price toy promotion - was trying to buy a Star Wars light sabre and it lets you add to the basket and checkout and pay for the item although it isn't in stock which is really annoying! :mad:

I got an email from Customer Services about a week later informing me that my item was out of stock and they were refunding so they had taken the money for an item they never had which annoyed me.

I wish some of these online companies would sort their real time stock checkers out!!!

lol, i must admit, chunk was the 1st hamster i got but i took him back & swapped him, i did order him today on character though ( so now have all 4) but it was only because i wanted free delivery!

Poor old Chunk!

I've got Mr Squiggles and Pipsqueak but DD would prefer the white one so have ordered him from Play but if he doesn't arrive in time for xmas will just tell her that Chunk has had colour put in his fur (bit like the colours Mummy has in her hair )

She is only 5 so that will be perfectly feasible for her

I thought she would like Pipsqueak as she's a girl hamster apparently?

They have now sorted it out over the phone so I'm hoping that the stock is accurate now - also have a feeling that they have messed up their calculations and refunded me too much!!

It was Chunk that messed up my Wilko's order - hope he's not going to be trouble...

I checked before (during my usual daily trawl to keep myself amused) and all the hamsters were 'back soon' but you're right, when you actually click on the hamster, it does appear to have the add to basket options :T One thing I would say is that I ordered a couple of hamsters from here a few weeks ago and you can select 'delivery to your local store' which is free. So if you live near a wilkinsons, then you could select this option and you wouldn't have to pay postage.

Thanks for this, rang up and ordered num num and mr squiggles and collecting from local store free of charge in 3-5 days, they said they will ring when arrived, also sent me email of confirmation, so looks hopeful! :j
