    nickybo - they dont tell me on email which ones were failed, all my reviews were over 200 words long, i tend to write it with the word count off screen and then look at word count after, the shortest being about 250 , but most about 300 +, i emailed them and they said when they "on assessing the review, the conjective words, and, because were taken out , the irrelavent details and , repetition come in just under 150 words.
    I didnt think i did that, in fact i do try not to mention product in review...lol
    Also they sent a link to their rules. The annoying thing is i dont know which one they talking about.
    And after a bit of detective work, i think they look at your reviews that have been clicked not useful.
    But if any one can shed a light that would be great

  • My Ebay stuff is up to £46.98 now, I'm on course to meet that £50 challenge, yay:j. Also listed 6 more items today for the mini challenge, had a snow day off from work so sorted out some dresses from DD's wardrobe (I covered her car insurance this month so she owes me!)

    Hope you're all getting near that £50, interesting reading about Dooyoo but I think I'll stick with Ebay......

    well done lucy locket!

    susan - ive never heard of that before. I've seen "locked" reviews, 2 of my early ones were locked.

    They are pretty harsh on new members I feel.

    6325 points for me.

    eBay up to £27.50

    Need to list Xbox360 tonight. OH said I could buy his new PS3 to get play.com reward points, then when it coems to giving me the money I have to sell the Xbox360 - no effort on his part ! Pah! Men! :D

    I'd say it was 'women's mag', as it's a a magazine belonging to (or read by) a woman. The 's can mean either a shortened version on is, or the way of saying it's the something or other belong to.

    For example:

    This is Shorties post is spelling my name as a plural
    This is Shortie's post is saying this post was writen by me.

    HTH :)


    yeah see theres what you said but then it could also mean womens (as in read by women PLURAL) cause when i think of the actual meaning of a womans mag is that its read by lots of women ....i dunno im confusing myself lol

    dont even get me started on the american spelling of stuff too! is dooyoo american? maybe i should stick with me US spellchecker lol
