    Now I was told off for suggesting that buyers were made sick. I did not personalise it, yet I cannot see a ticking off for this poster......

    I am guessing that this poster has mis spelled my user name - its not an uncommon mis use of the language - and that this insult was heading in my direction.

    I will continue to use ebay but will certainly never venture down this end of the otherwise excellent MSE boards again.

    Best wishes to you all in your money raising efforts.

    Caveat emptor.

    If you are referring to my reply to the earlier "please don't go down that path" reply then firstly I am not a BG on this board, I just try to help my fellow BGs by encouraging people to not get personal in their posts and keep threads on topic. None of the BGs are on here 24/7 - so just because no-one deals with a particular reply then please don't assume we have read it and approve of anything said. If you feel a post is out of line the report it. The link for doing so is in my signature and at the top of the forums.

    So as it's friday night, it's getting late, I want to enjoy my wine and A Touch Of Frost on telly... can we all please be nice and not take anything personal but instead take a deep breath and maybe a sip of wine and go have a hot bath :) Go on... you know you want to :)

    And that goes for everyone! No need to start getting personal about what debts people have and how they should deal with them :)

    Remember :
    Please be nice to all MoneySavers. There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps.
    As quoted from the top of the forums :)

    Sorry - it was a tongue in cheek comment - just realised my smileys are not working!! ?

    And yes re-reading it, it is a bit personal/harsh in the wrong context!

    This is the EXACT Unfortunately as the item was sent Recorded, it does not meet the Paypal Sellers Protection policy. Items must be sent by an ONLINE TRACKABLE method - currently Royal Mail Special delivery is the only truly viable option for this.

    ...!

    Recorded is specifically accepted as a trackable method by paypal:

    However, it will not be accepted in this case as it doesn't show as delivered. Even special delivery would not cover a seller where it has not been delivered.
