Anyway back to boots directily. I have some of the giftcards for claiming the beauty offers if anyone wants some- where you put £20 on them and can get a free beauty treatment. Just pm me and I will try to get them sent when I can. This here -



Please not whne you cliam your voucher it can take a fewweeks as they are sent out in batches about once a month.You recieve a book with a list of treatments then send it back .After that a rep calls you to book in your treatment- so not the easiest way but heck its free ( im getting a facial and got my mother in law one too )

'On Hold' IMHO means that your next message will be 'Cancelled' followed by a snotty e-mail from Boots CS....

Dotchas I think there is maybe a problem with the payment or delivery details.As this seems the kind of response to that. Maybe double check your payment details or delivery details.I ordered mine Sunday and it was ok- did you also order anything else that might delay it ?

How do you tell though its a false bid or a fake id? Can you tell just by looking at their feedback?

This has totally put me off listing any Boots items on ebay. I hate all the mither of waiting seven days to start the dispute console and then there is the dread that someone might give you a negative and ruin your 100%.

The odd Boots items I sold in the past have mainly gone abroad, US, Canada or Italy - people say they cant get it abroad.

How can you set your listing preferences tight?

I wish people would set up their paypal accounts before they start bidding or selling. I bought a dress from someone last week who I thought would be OK, registered a while ago and a 34 rating but when I went to pay by paypal her account wasnt ready so now I have to go to the mither of sending a cheque.

Someone who ruins your ebay auction by putting false bids on it or bidding with a fake id. Basically someone who has NO intention of paying.There are a lof of this on ebay. And popular items are a magnet to them.
If you look through the items ending you might see them winning several items the same constantily.
If you look through this board you will see some people have mentioned selling the p& p and the winners saying they can get it cheaper elsewhere- and not paying- or just simply not paying.
Sometimes its also a case of people are bidding on several items in the hope of winning one and then sometimes win several- so dont want them or pay for them.
I have my listing preferances as tight as possable but already have recieved one neg from a women who won the rewind serum then bought it from boots so decided she didnt want it -so I losed out on selling it to others and then she negged me !

With places like pigsback offering points when you open an ebay account and place a bid I don't think this helps the problem.
People open accounts and place a bid with no intention of buying.

There is details on here about setting your preferances on ebay and also about non payers. If you look through the ebay board there is more information.I have my preferances that you need a paypal account to bid but still get non payers.

I paid by Paypal as I always do,and delivery details are OK.
I got 3 P+P and 3 lippy bags.I also paid for Thursday delivery.........guess they won't be coming now:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I just know if I phone ,it'll get cancelled:mad:

Oh well,more money in my paypal account to spend on ebay:j

Is it possable you mis typed a letter etc when putting in your paypal details ? maybe double check your conformation reciept.
The only other thing is if you have placed more than one order this week using your payapl accout for the p&p .However if I was you I would go through all your order details really carefully to see if a simple mistake has been made. Worst scenario if you cant find a mistake is just phone as sometimes you get a silly assistant who wont know about the p&p restrictions.
My order is for delivery thursday too and i recieved a notification it has been desptched this morning.
Dont think negative- its prob an error and worst thing you dont get it they will be back on line soon so try again.Good luck
