    Seems like they still sell a fair bit and have managed no negs for the past month but don't think I would ever order from someone with feedback like that.

    She's probably raised her game a bit and having achieved TRS it's fair to say she probably was someone who responded well to being threatened with sanctions etc. Looking down through all the neutrals and negs, she's responding to problems with packaging (changed) and a family loss.

    I don't think I'd have much problem buying from her now to be honest.

    I think the photos are a bit unprofessional, tbh, too. It's a pet hate of mine when female sellers feel they have to post photos of themselves. I don't need to see her legs if I'm buying a jar of marmite.

    Her sales are a mixture of a lot of different things, probably one of those people who coin it by selling British goods overseas (and why not? as Barry Norman would say) - but she has some listings for personal effects among them. She might be better off getting a personal account for those.

    I think Strapped is right. And the username doesn't inspire that much confidence. I know I've had some odd nicknames in the past, but were I trying to run a business, I think I'd reconsider "ladysammywammy"...

    ok im confused, why wouldnt these people just get the stuff from the supermarket? they must sell all this stuff abroad?

    im going to list some yorkshire tea bags, if they sell abroad just go to the shop and buy some and post at the same time, the supermarket is next to the post office anyway!

    seems odd to me to buy food from ebay.

    No some things cannot be bought abroad, Few years back friends used to get oreo's sent from the US.

    Now they are available here, Cant stand them yuk.

    But they used to send cadbury's chocolate bars and walkers crisps to the US.

    Pg Tips tea bags in Spain were about 5euros for a small box (40 bags, possibly) 2 years ago.

    My wife has a cousin who lives in LA, he regularly asks for a parcel of stuff he can't get there he misses from home.

    Olbas Oil, PG tips, Cadbury's chocolate to name a few...
