    Omg grr to fleabay :( they just removed one of my listings. It was 22 quid!! I did not know u couldn't sell used cosmetics, serves me right 4 not reading policy i suppose. Would someone have to have complained for them to take it off?

    Mfou not had bank charge yet but sure its on its way!

    Have you tried contacting the bidder, explaining the situation and see if they will buy it from you outside of ebay? :think: I know a couple of times people have asked DH if they could buy an item now rather than go through the auction and he's sold it somehow , maybe just by email agreement and paypal...

    i second the idea about contacting the bidder.

    note to self: sf flour made from plain+baking powder does not taste good! I was trying to make 'twinks' as found here and I was so looking forward to them but I can taste the baking powder! yuk.

    Found the tiger who came to tea and Angelina Ballerina :o

    My sister may be moving to Bristol so it wouldn't be that far Tirl but it is coming to Cardiff. Have to sweet talk DH when he comes home.

    Thanks for the heads up Bonglecat

    Sadly fleabay have deleted the item & all the bids with it. There was 33 watchers & 16 bids. And no1 had emailed me suggesting a buy it now. I will stick it on a buy it now i think, whats the worst they can do? Kick me off? Lol
