    Well she really is very silly. She has messaged me now to check I have posted it back to her (bearing in mind I only asked if I could send it back last night) as she has sold it again for £70. She has a lot more faith in people (and royal mail) than I would!

    I have sent it back special delivery but didn't pay the extra for it to be delivered tomorrow so she will have to wait. I wasn't sure who was liable for the return cost so didn't want to fork out the extra.

    most likely will be delivered tomorrow anyway

    Next time it's better to use collect plus for returns because it's tracked and signed like SD but cheaper

    But with HDNL/Yodel at the helm I'd stick to Royal Mail...

    I never usually comment on other peoples spelling as my own dyslexic fingers type the most awful rubbish sometimes. However I love the idea of 'risque' jewellery from ebay

    I think it might be spam?

    Spam it maybe but the mind boggles at 'risque' jewellery :rotfl:

    Anyway I can't see the point of telling us about another online jewellery store as surely they have the same problem as ebay, you can't view the item before you buy. In fact the Ebay / PayPal system of guaranteed money back is probably safer than buying from a company that no one has ever heard of.

    Simple reason that isn't selling is unless you know what it is (it's some sort of light but what is it for?) and want one you're never going to search on that name. So a more generic title and a better description would see more interest.
