    Brilliant post!

    If that us the way they treat people then I don't want to be involved!

    I listed a lot on eBay.

    QUESTION. I listed an item and a guy has asked for a buy it now price. Why don't they just bid on it.

  • On the other hand, it does give us on opportunity to review them ;)

    I often get people asking for a buy it now price, usually after someone has already made a bid meaning I can't cancel the auction to do a BIN anyway. Could be a number of reasons, could be they want the item quickly, for a present, to replace something that was broken whilst the parents were on holiday, a gift or maybe just someone who doesn't have the patience to wait until last moment to see if they are outbid last second. I don't know enough about it myself, but if you go to the auctions and listings board they could advise the benefits and disadvantages of doing it.

    Sorry to hear about your mishaps on BP, this is exactly what happened to the others of us who used to go on it a few years back, they just banned the lot of us at the same time. We never, ever got a reply to any emails as to why they had banned us. The same things happened with the mobiles not being verified etc. Seems like someone must be checking on this forum and then connecting people some how. The annoying thing is I still get the emails from them even to this day saying what they are doing on the site etc but cant get in to stop them so now have them sent straight to my spam folder.

    On a good note, I managed to redeem £20 Paypal payment this morning from Surveynetwork.


    Dont know if I will get so much done today as got doctors in a bit and then OH is off today so not sure what we will be doing,
  • Oh my god I went on just to see what my account said and my mobile has been un-verified too!! I haven't played properly for a couple of days! What on earth has gone on?! I noticed a couple of days ago that on the dribblers thread someone put on there that you could use BP to get amazon vouchers, I hope they didn't write it in any of the forum posts and we've all been traced back? It is all a bit strange...

  • Sorry to hear about you all being booted of BP sounds really unfair to me.

    My son seems to be on the mend today, yeah. Still not eating as he usually does but I guess it will take a day or two.

    Finally got round to doing an opinion post on Toluna, If any of you would be so kind to give you opinion on it I will return the favour if I haven't already done so. I have been trying to find you all on there but I'm a bit slow on toluna.

    Hope you all have a great day. I've got toddler group today in the village lets hope more then two of us turn up today!

    I can still play bingo but cant chat or post!!! I am furious and not about the vouchers, just dont like the fact I am getting made to feel like i have done something wrong, i have put something on their facebook page, bingoport is advertised soon as you search free bingo, if they dont want new players then why advertise!!
