    Oh I didn't know you can get blocked from certain boards.

    What does SSM stand for? :)

    Over on the eBay board, hidden amongst the regular [STRIKE]know it all's [/STRIKE] posters who are always in the right ;):o

    Your not wrong - they are like attack dogs waiting to go for anyone who is not a perfect ebayer - and will have nothing bad said about lovely fluffy ebay. If they want to defend ebay all day - they should post on Corporate giant expert.com.

    They also love messing up peoples accounts with negatives, or items not arrived even though i paid yesterday claims.:mad:

    No, we just said we get blocked (not literally) because they deleted our post:cool:


    Where have you been? I can't believe it, seasoned poster like yourself, who keep a look out for coupons & you don't know what SSM stand for. SHAME ON YOU:eek:

    :rotfl:

    I posted a thread because I was undecided how to proceed with an eBay mix up. I wasn't asking for advice. I just wanted to know if others would proceed the same way I would - sure enough they would but because I would not proceed how the [STRIKE]know it all's[/STRIKE] regular's would proceed, it is the wrong way.

    I have made my decision but the discussion is still on going for all to join in :) I am even getting asked why the thread is still going, it wouldn't be still going if they weren't still posting in it.

    Thankfully I have a life outside of eBay and the eBay board and don't need to hide behind my laptop 24/7 attacking other posters to get my kicks. ;)

    Have you got lots of things running everytime you turn on your computer....bottom right on the toolbar...are there a lot of icons...you can find out what programmes are running everytime you turn on your computer by clicking Start , then run ,then enter, then in the box type msconfig..or msconfig.exe...you then get System Configuration , click on the Startup tab and you will see what is running, uncheck things you want to disable, they will still be available for you on you computer , just wont run everytime you start it up, all these programmes running when you don't eant them too really slows down your computer......hth

    all this from techie me...oooerrr!!

    Wooooaaahh Bully, am well impressed with your techie knowledge. :TFollowed your instructions and apart from typing misconfig at first, instead of msconfig , I could see all the programmes. Only problem is they all seemed to be in some sort of foreign computer language, except for one that said 'christmas'! Have no idea what that is but scared of deleting anything. DS is coming tomorrow pm to have a look.

    You're not the only one getting left behind Doc - what is an i-pad? Is it in the same section as i-drops or is it the thing you rest your chin on when you are having an i-test? :)
