Seller Verification Fee GBP 2.00, recurring every 60 days

Yup, so do I.

I don't subscribe to anything, I think eBay and Amazon have the right idea in only making you pay for what you list/sell. Subscriptions are one way of hiding "free" listings behind money you don't stand to make back because the site can't afford to advertise very widely. £2.00 per two months won't break the bank, but unfortunately doesn't mean the site has much cash to be able to afford to push themselves into the faces of the buying public.

They only appear to have one seller who has 33 pages of stuff on the site and a postcode that's very near to their registered address so things must be a bit slow at the moment.

Same old generic "ebay-clone" script used by thousands of others. The same people that try to attract sellers, rather than buyers, the same people that think spam is a credible marketing and publicity tool.

I think giving it 6 months is being generous...

Do they automatically take the £2 ?? I hope not
I didn't see anything in the T&C's to say that you have to pay it, I hope that after 60 days they ask for it and then if you don't pay it they suspend your account.

I hope thats how it works. Any thoughts, experience, opinions etc appreciated
Thanks

I'm not sure you'll find anyone here actually using the site. Does it not have a forum or any FAQs that you can check? Does it have a billing source for you?

The only seller is the site owner? Same postcode.

Anyone using firefox and NO SCRIPT?

Site also loads

Mmmmm would typo's in the terms and conditions agreement make the terms useless or just proves they are a 2p outfit?

Unless it substantially changes the meanings of the words probably not - but the latter is definitely true.

forgotmyname

I think they are big enough issues for the terms to not be valid. lol.

What a mess! I took a look and immediatley thought, nope! Not a chance Im trying to sift through that to find something good that probably isn't there. Honestly how do people think they can compete with ebay when they have a site as bloody painful to look at as that one is!

rick@findthatfuchsia

Try doing a search and the site almost stops in Firefox, on IE9 it doesn't even load! Waste of time!
