I couldn't resist and have joined in with the protect & perfect madness. Just ordered myself 3-4-2. Am feeling a bit guilty for spending so much money but hopefully I can sell them on ebay to make some extra cash (altho I'm a bit scared about doing that now having read the posts above!):eek:

Did remember to go thru pigsback though so those points will be nice if I get them :T

I have been selling Protect and Perfect and Refine and Rewind and had 1 listing cancelled because I was selling Refine and Rewind and mentioning Protect and Perfect in the title ( to help Sales ) This is called Keyword spamming where you are giving yourself an advantage by referring to the product everyone wants when selling the 2nd best one. I think the problem is that people are copying the photo and all the write up from the Boots site and this not allowed. I also sell Benefit and ususally have no problem but back along I put on about 10 things and used the pictures from their website and also the description they gave word for word. All these listings were cancelled. However when I re-listed them using their photos but my description they were all ok.
Sorry to ramble but I think the problem is using Boots logo and their description is against E-Bay rules. Hope this helps. By the way a warning about E-Bay. When I checked my account yesterday somebody had hacked into my account and listed 12 things on my account. I contacted E-Bay and they dealt with it within 30 minutes. So keep your details safe and change your passwords often!

I got 180 piggypoints for my last P+P order if I remember right. Messed it up this time though, was too excited and clicked wrong window! :rotfl:

Ebay prices :eek:

What really makes me laugh about eBay is a lot of people are buying the P & P serum and bidding it up to say £40 + but if they were to look at the buy it now listings they could easily get it for the same price (from people with great feedback) if not less and saves the hassle of bidding.

I think people are too lazy to trawl through? What do you all think?

I know if I was going to buy it on ebay i would want the cheapest possible from someone with loads positive feedback............but maybe that's because I'm a moneysaver....?

Yes, its weird isn't it - I've had thing go unsold at a much cheaper price than people bid the same item up to just a little while before - I think its because once someone has found something they 'watch' it, and don't bother checking to see whether the same thing has been listed by anyone else, maybe for 1 or 3 days when they've been watching something on a longer listing.

I have to agree with you ,some peeps on ebay are MAD,paying £40+ when there are many on cheaper BINs.
Or paying £10 for a 5ml sample when you can get a Lipstick bag with 5mls for £8.99 BIN!
Still I can't complain:T
Mind you out of 13 Boots items sold I have only got feedback for 3!
Do you think they are waiting to see if they look younger before leaving feedback?:rolleyes:

That's good for us I was worried that I'd thrown the profit I made yesterday away by buying six more today!
