Was amazed really !
- paid for an electrical item that I won a couple of days ago on Ebay ,with Paypal and literally less than 5 mins later a young woman was knocking my front door with the item for me to sign for !
weird or what ?!
obviously ,the seller must have sent the item before I had paid ,either by mistake or otherwise - really felt weird though ,as my ( this ) PC is right next to the front door and I still had the Paypal page up on the screen after just paying ! :beer:

It took me an afternoon to read 1984, so it is possible, but yes, either that, or the buyer owns a Tardis.thepedestrian wrote: »must of been a 10 page book I should think ! :rotfl:"Well, it's election year, Bill, we'd rather people didn't exercise common sense..." - Jed Bartlet, The West Wing, season 4

That's great service. Deserves 6 stars, I reckon.
If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -

Once I won a 99p collection only item & 2 minutes after wining the item they were on my door step with it. It turned out they lived 4 doors down! Needless to say I let them keep the 1p 0
