I'm all for helping oxfam but really not buying paypals attempt to look all fluffy after the wikileaks fiasco.
In this case it wasn't paypal's decision in isolation; that was a manipulation by visa/matercard. They don't permit people to make payments using their cards towards wikileaks, through paypal.
I don't do twitter etc., but I'll start the bidding at £25 (if it hasn't yet started).
Any links to the actual "bids/offers"??

Not too sure how this was supposed to work - thought there was actual bidding?? It was up for only £19.99 (fixed price) when I found out how to navigate.
Anyway, I'm now the proud owner of Martin's wallet. lol
A little tweaking and adding a donation I managed to get this for my £25 offer (hubby's card). :j Gift aid should give this a small boost.
I hope there is a signed picture in there.
One day he might just make it and become a celeb. Could be a great investment then. :rotfl:
A small donation to a worthy cause (some of my savings made from this great site given back).

I want to know what this message says inside the wallet
I'm intrigued as well to see what his "money matras are", probably says "Don't waste money buying cheap wallets". :rotfl:
The "mantras" is what gives this prominence and I'm going to frame this (sad I know). I've got a small piece donated to Oxfam from the "Great Man" himself and the charity has benefited - winners all round.

Many thanks Martin, just a bit sorry it wasn't actually auctioned to perhaps raise a bit more.
Again, this great site has saved and made me many, many pounds over the year due to yourself and it's fab members, so just a small (very small) token of my appreciation.
To be honest, I was very surprised to get it for only £25.................and if I had been more frugal it was available for only £19.99.
A great cause and a little something for myself - which I'll treasure.
Again, many thanks to you Martin - looking forward to the next one.
Take care.

I highly doubt there is a connection between the two events. For a start, this would have taken a while to organise, and it's been going on for a while already (and I got an email about it in January).
And secondly, no-one cares about paypal stopping wikileaks donations anymore. Infact, I haven't heard anyone mention wikileaks full stop in weeks.
