    The $10 paypal works out as £6.25 (it was £6.20 earlier this week but still an extra £1.20) you can transfer it into your bank account and use it for amazon if you want, or your rent etc if you need.

    Does it not come as a voucher code to use on amazon like other survey sites??

    No paypal redemptions are directly credited to your paypal account. This is true for both sw@gbucks and superp0ints (Make sure the email address on your account is the one connected to your paypal, or suppose you could set up a second paypal account for that address).

    All the other voucher prizes (or at least all the one's I've used) come as a code. The amazon voucher comes as an amazon code.

    Just a quick question for anyone out there! What would you do if you sold something to someone on eBay that lived around the corner to you? Would you still send via Royal Mail to get proof of postage? Its weird because I am selling something they could get cheaper if they took a 2 minute walk! (no exaggeration!)

    I have to agree with Ms Night Ryder - protect yourself from come backs and post it to them. They would have noticed when buying it that the item was under 5 miles away, so they could have emailed you about it to see if collection was possible (I always do!) and paid cash, then you would have been covered.

    Also, I'd be a little freaked out if I'd bought something off ebay expecting it to be posted and someone turned up on my doorstep to deliver it by hand! :rotfl: :p

    Someone convince me please it is better to cash in for $10 amazon card for 1000 superpoints than it is £5 for 1000 superpoints.

    And can I still use $voucher on amazon.co.uk??

    I've had a couple of .co.uk vouchers that state that you can't use them on .com - I'd guess that it would be the same the other way around, so you might not be able to. Maybe go on to .com and look at the T&Cs for the vouchers.

    Ahh sorry you confused me, I thought you were talking about the $10 paypal for 1000 points. Short answer no the $10 amazon card is for amazon.com (I'm surprised you can see it in their catalogue I know you can't redeem Amazon.com cards from swagbucks if you're in the UK, I'm not sure about superp0ints but I've never seen a amazon.com voucher on there) You can use it if you want to order something from Amazon.com though.

    Thanks, maybe i should set up paypal then as would be better off.

    until then I think I will stick to .co.uk voucher :j

    Well, another £50 to add. Got it from my brother last night at a meal for my birthday.

    In a very bad mood today and feeling sorry for myself so gonna take it out on the housework and do some stuff for ebay. Lol. Out of the HUGE family that i have, only my parents and my brother remembered my 30th yesterday. I have a huge family and can not believe that EVERYONE forgot. Gutted. Never mind.... Next time they want me to sell something for them on ebay then they can go take a run and jump..... I'm sure i'll feel better later and realise how much of a child i sound but i do alsorts for everyone, ask nothing in return, and they can't even remember to send me a bl**dy card!!!

    *Rant over*

    Awwww pennies........:bdaycake:for your 30th yesterday.

    (((Breaks into another tuneful rendition of Happy Birthday "and a day" to youuuuu.......!!))

    Does that mean you and Lolly have the same birthday?

    Families are the best at times aren't they :( People are probably swept up in pre-Christmas preparation and will have lost track of time. Well done for doing some positive ebay and tidying with your annoyance though!! (I would have sat and sulked and ate chocolate I think).

    Just to add, will be another zero total for me today. Did do a couple of ebay listings last night despite loosing the love for Ebay. Have put my bad buyer experience into perspective - I suppose it is inevitable you will get the odd one and you should not let it put you off as the majority of people on there are fine and besides, it earns £££ to boost that total.

    :rotfl:re all the ebay house clutter. I used to just get rid of things without blinking, now I have the "mmmm that will get at least £2 on Ebay" and won't throw anything out. Result = spare room missing in action with piles of stuff to be listed!! Have a good day ev1 :cool:
