Hi ladies, regarding the blogs ~ I follow this thread daily and rarely ever post (as I am looking for inspiration clothes wise and my current clothes are not fit to inspire a scarecrow!).
I just look in on you all and admire from afar (I'm not weird, honest... well I am a bit).
I have only recently just set a blog up, well its a work in progress and so I joined the blogs I like to follow, which consists of most of you lot
When I am in Daisybella's blog for example, I sometimes click through to the blogs that she likes and see interesting stuff that I would also like to follow, and I think thats where you will be getting your extra followers from, its like a spiders web, all linked together somewhere.

Yeah, that's what I do too, Kandi with blogs I follow, sometimes people have a list down the side of the ones they follow, or link to them, so I think you're right about a chain..Quite excited about making 50 followers - I know a lot of ppl have more lol..but i'm amazed 5 ppl read my random ramblings, let alone 50 !!

Morning girls. I just thought I'd throw this out to you too as I know you all sell. I just posted this on the ebay board....

I hope you can advise me on this one.

I had a breast pump on ebay with a BIN of £40. It sold within a couple of hours and the buyer emailed me to ask that I send it to her friend with a prem baby and gave the address.

I said I'd post it that day (as I know how desperate she must be) but then I noticed that I hadn't received payment. I assumed it would follow but waited before I sent the item. I got an email around midday saying she'd forgotten to pay me and that she would do when she got home from work.

I didn't receive payment and didn't have any further communication until I contacted the buyer the following lunchtime to chase payment. She replied that she was at work, had forgotten again and would do when she got home. Still at 10:00 last night there was no payment so I contacted the buyer again and said I was still waiting and that it was all packaged up ready to send once payment had cleared.

I think she thought I'd sent it but now she knows I hadn't. This morning I get the following e-mail

I really don't know what's going on with my paypal of late. They keep wanting me to verify my card details which requires me to confirm varying amounts of money deposited over, say, 2 days (e.g. 20p, £1). I have been waiting since last week and bid on the breast pump in teh hope it'd be done this week. Same thing happened in Feb and i got 2 unpaid item strikes from 2 vendors and i think. They became impatient of waiting which is understandable. Any chance i could just deposit the £45 cash straight into your account today? I guess it'd be instant and they are no paypal fees

Let me know what you think. I'd need your bank name, sort code & acct no. Nothing fraudulent i swear. Just desperate for this breast pump

I think I know the answer - it sounds dodgy to me. I just wanted to check what you would do. Is this something I need to report to ebay or is it quite a reasonable request.

I'm really annoyed that if this is genuine she wasn't hinest with me and it's only now she knows that I haven't sent the item on good faith that she starts trying to pay me.

Thanks in advance. Sorry this is so long.

vick, she can't do anything with you bank details except money into your account.

and if she's asking you to send to a different address to hers, let her BACs you instead of PP!!

Anyway. Hope you are all well today. It's another sunny day here so I'm trying out a new outfit as my Tesco haul arrived yesterday.
Tailored, nautical style navy shorts with pleats and pockets, turn ups and two rows of buttons at the front.
Cream long sleeved top with shoulder pads and puffy sleeves
thick grey tights - I'm not totally mad!
thin knit grey cardi with batwingy ruchiness at the sleeves.
Grey slouchy boots
Pearl/goldy beads
swallow earrings
cream and gold bangles
pearl and gold bracelet.

I'm feeling great in it especially considering I haven't had the confidence to wear shorts for about 15 years. Think it's the tights helping.

Will really, really try to do a blog post today.

daisybella

and have a small sponge in the oven...just a plain vanilla sponge with white chocolate chips, mixed peel and mixed spice.
I feel like I've done something now

Hello all

Sorry I've been missing in action again, I've had a really bad bout of Norovirus which totally knocked me off my feet. I just don't seem to be able to get the time to catch up with you all like I used to

I hope you are all well. I found this today and thought some of you might be interested in it.

Basically you fill in a short questionnaire about your body shape, face shape, hair/eye colour and what kind of style you want to go for (Party girl, Professional etc) and then you get a guide to what styles you should be looking out for with hints and tips on what kind of clothes suit your body shape - apparently this is worth £30.

I've just done it and have got a 36 page document which is really good. You have to register then you get the document in an Adobe file which you can save to your computer/laptop.

Just thought I'd let you all know

Anyway am going to catch up on the last few pages now - will try and check in more often from now on *hugs*

I'd really like to trust her especially as it sounds urgent and the price is great, more than I'd expected.

I was just reminded of an email scam where they tell you you won the African lottery and ask for your bank details to pay you, then clear your account.

piratefairy

if i were you hun, i would tell her that if she pays the CASH in today, you;ll post it - otherwise you'll have to cancel the transaction - go thru ebay to do that, which means she can't leave you a neg for not sending..

if she asks just for the bank sort code and a/c nummber, there isn't anything she can do - don't give her any other info, and provided she pays the cash into a branch somewhere, there;s no way she can scam it back..she presumably knows this, which is why i think i'd trust someone who offereed to do this, as they're clearly trusting of you that you'll post it out..

if she says she'd prefer to wait for paypal to be sorted, and pays via that, only send to the registered address on her a/c, not her friend's address, or she would win a claim for non-arrival if she was trying to be dodgy as you wouldn't have followed the PP guidelines :S

sorry if this comes across as patronising, it's not supposed to, just a couple of things i've learnt from expoerience!!

I personally wouldn't do it Id cancel the transaction to be honest...I know she probably cant do anything but I dont like the thought of giving out my bank details to a complete stranger....sounds like she didnt even have paypal set up before she bid. Have you looked at her bidding history?
