    feeling very annoyed as someone has left neg feedback about me on flea bay:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:I sold her a 30ml boxed hand cream (Clarins)which was perfect and only charged the amount of postage it cost me and yet for unknown reasons she has put "will never buy from this seller again"WHY????I have filled in a form on flea bay to challenge this and emailed her but she does not have to do anything and as I have already left feedback for her I cannot comment on it.Anyone else had this?I am very upset as have been on fleabay for years with 100% feedback and am now 95%...I always notice peoples score so am sure it puts buyers off.

    Rosemary, you can reply to feeback that you've been left to try to set the record straight.:(

    roud to be dealing with her debts 1198~

  • Two more UUs, face wipes and Roc moisturising cream Ive had on the go for years. I will need to have a rummage through my stash and see whats left as there's not much now:j
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • Guy's, I'm not really a nice person. I work hard on my crusty old bat image! The kid has just finished college and got her first job. She's an emergency services dispatch operator with student loan to payback. So my logic was if I have plenty, pass it on. Maybe when I need an ambulance, she'll be on duty and get one out extra fast???

    Rosemary: I feel for you on the ebay thing. I pay the minute the sale is confirmed. Yet many sellers don't leave any feedback. I recently bought some handbags. One is absolutely filthy inside on the lining and the other the "small marks" on the straps are huge. When I contacted the seller she's "all I described it in the photos". Well, she's a great photographer because they looked pristine. She hasn't left any feedback for prompt payment and has basically told me she expects 5s all across the board. So, I'm at wit's end. One bag is filthy and I would have thrown it rather than even sending it to a charity shop.

    Lesson learnt. No more handbags on ebay unless they are NWT.

    Can somebody please remind me never to buy anything bigger than 250mls, please?! I'm struggling with a cleanser that is never ending

    Just the expected ins from Lush - and one less than I thought, cos one of my list is on the retro section and they only have that online at the moment.

    Slightly hillarious moment when the lad asked me if Id been in a Lush shop recently and I answered that I hadnt shopped with Lush for about 5 years.... slight amount of squirming on his part when he recieved my answer having following up with the obvious question... ;)

  • Hello again, still alive and hi Troods, would that answer have involved Fantastic Mr Fox...?!

    I have been silent as I've had zilch to report!
    Only used up a Radox Tropical Shower Smoothie and a Mitchum roll-on since mid Aug.
    I got a free Garnier deo in the post the other week, and succumbed to a OS Strawberry shower gel... and that's been it! Oh, and the huge pot of moisturiser that I bought from Avon as I couldn't find a 4th present to go with the 4 for a fiver deals... Oops and the Berry and Vanilla foot cream.
    Thinking of using a Dirty Works body butter I got as a freebie in post last week for feet instead.

    Am steadily trying to lose weight again. It piled on during the Olympics and Paralympics, I stepped on the scales (after dieting for a week!) and was still the heaviest I have ever been by half a stone. I've lost that now. I was horrified.

    Come next March I may be nearing graduation from here, if I don't buy anything . Wish me luck!

    most buyers and sellers are fine but now and again you get a real a******e!.I bought a linen sheet which the woman forgot to say had holes in:mad:she offered me £5 refund so told her to stuff it and left neg feedback.problem with feedback it is a % so 1 bad comment has taken me from 100% to 95% which would put me off buying from someone:(I have left a response on the feedback saying I have no idea what the problem is.I am hoping she mixed me up with someone else as it took a month for her to post feedback.Only other problems I had with people I got full refunds for.

    Have two uu today -

    Sure deoderant spray in Bright - WBA, this was very effective. Have replaced it with a Vaseline aloe fresh, I bought loads of these and think I still have two more to go plus loads of roll ons and sticks so OK for deo until next summer I reckon.

    Molton Brown Warming Eucalyptus shower gel - 50ml, WBA but don't like the price, no need to just yet as I have two more this size which I hope will see me through my sinusitis months along with Dr Bronners peppermint. Have replaced it with Bamford geranium body wash which I think just has one use left.

    I am going to have ins soon as I have been very, very naughty and bought the LIB editors box, it has been ages since I bought one and this looks good for £9.95 and free delivery. It doesn't stop there as I have also ordered Philosophy Pure Grace shower gel and body lotion from Deb's to go with my perfume and this came with a free gift which looks like the same freebie I got with the perfume from Debenhams in Chester but I am happy with that.
