    Hi ev1 I had a second viewing on the house tonight so I was thinking if it sells that i could just take a slice of the profit say maybe £10,000 and say I turned £100 in £ 10,000. I reckon I would have been paid that for the two hours cleaning X 10 viewings that we have had so far lol
    Anyway back to ebay and the keyring plan just incase some of the more determined ones think i am cheating HAHA
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x

    Hi all
    well what a day I've had,
    paid off a loan 4 years early (dont ask) but anyway I've saved £4300.00 on interest.
    Just been on 4 bingo sites and won/withdrew £170.00-I was getting the bonuses,playing with that money,then withdrawing as soon as I had a decent win.You end up forfeiting bonus monies-
    but I only wanted 'REAL CASH'
    I should really include the interest in my total but I'm not going too.
    Have a great evening.:T:T:T

    Hmm, I think the items I bought on ebay a few days ago are fakes - should I contact ebay first or the seller? I can't be sure but they definitely look different to the ones on sale in Tesco (just popped in to have a look!) and I don't want to accuse the seller if they're real. Either way, they don't look real enough for me to sell on so I want my money back.

    Any advice anyone?
    There's a lot of fakes on ebay, I had a lucky escape earlier today. Had been watching a mispelt item from Fat Fingers and just as it was coming to an end, I decided to look at what else the seller had up for auction. It seems she could spell afterall - the genuine "100% authentic" items from the same designer were all spelt correctly and the fake ones all had a typo. I guess that meant the buyer couldn't complain - the seller could just say she didn't list it as that particular brand anyway. Cunning.

    That is an interesting observation, thanks for sharing ;). It is a difficult thing to judge ... I buy clothes from ebay all the time but until you have them in hand it is difficult to really tell (even then sometimes it isn't obvious). No idea how to advise susie-sue as I have not really been in that situation and have maybe been lucky so far that hunches like copperjar's have payed off ... I may have missed buying some genuine bargains but somehow managed to miss the fakes (either that or everything I own is knock off and I am none the wiser ;)). Hopefully someone with more recent ebay experience will be along to help susie-sue.
