did I read a few million pages ago that someone from north west lancs was looking for a thread buddy? If so I'll be your buddy, mind you if you check out my running total so far you might see that I'm less than impressive, but there is stuff 'pending' so I might not be a total waste of space

That was me I have a buddy now but us in the NW could form a group perhaps? x

Dammit, you've beaten me! :rotfl:



I actually work for a major credit card company. The idea is that we read up on competitor products etc but the forums are fine too :cool:

Another tip guys, if you are employed or self employed full time you may be entitled to working tax credits. If you apply and you are eligible you will be given back dated payments to April 2009.

Every little helps

Have also managed to same £15 a year by switching to paperless billing with BT.

Thanks for this drinkupretty - I didn't think of this when I was thinking about self-employment. Like you said, every little helps :T

Hi Guys

Two queries, the first is I linked my bank account to paypal again today (deleted it back along as my credit card got frauded and I freaked out!) Credit card was fine today but when I wanted to verify the bank account it bought up a direct debit mandate. I understand I could top up my paypal account from the bank but not sure about a direct debit as that's for regualr payments? Anyone else experienced this? I can't remember it doing that the first time but that was a few years ago.

Secondly, I'm looking at buying from abroad, how does import tax work? Do you get stung all the time, looked on an on-line calculator and it looks to be about 20%, does that sound right?

Thanks

Definately only certain ones sell well, i listed about 100 for my dad and loads went for only 99p and some went for upwards of £30. Obviously if you need to make a profit on it you wouldn't have a 99p start but my dad didn't want to pay extra fees. He's still got some that haven't sold. Basically it's a bit hit and miss. Sorry that's not exactly helpful :rolleyes:

No thats really helpful - it means I won't just go and buy them randomly!:T

Hi Nat,

Sorry, can't help with the first question I'm afraid - but if you look at my second post on the previous page, it may help with your second one

GreyhoundAngel gave a really helpful post a page ago concerning import duties and import compliance etc. As for Paypal, it is so long since I set it up I can't for the life of me remember. I do remember an amount of account verification and adress confirmation (not sure back then if they paid small sums into a bank account and you had to enter them in the site?) ... this may be related to identity verification. Hopefully somebody who has been through the process more recently will be along to help .

Edit: Post 427 in this thread for the import advice
