    Red, well done on the job decision. I had a well-paid job that I hated, but eventually took redundancy and I am the happiest I have ever been. I have followed lots of things on the OS board, and we haven't missed my wages at all.

    Pigpen, I am not at all pleased with Ebay, but am riding it out in the hope that their turnover will drop due to all the changes, and they will eventually go back to how they were
    You're only young once, but you can be immature forever :D

    Pigpen - I am shocked and stunned that you are ending your relationship with ebay - are you sure there is no way you guys can work it out???

    When they put the feedback system back to how it should be.. fair and just instead of treating the sellers who pay their wages like second class citizens then I MAY consider it.

    In: Nothing

    Out: 2 carrier bags full of junk (been going through stuff in sotrage, still loads to wade through)
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Is anyone a member HERE ???

    It seems to have a lot listed and a lot sellig... wondered if it is worth a try??

    I'm happy to give it a go!

    I'll look forward to reading your feedback!! I'm happy enough with Ebay at the moment, but thus far I haven't had problems like you have .. fingers crossed/touch wood and all that! That site does seem busy considering none of us have heard of it!!
