Don't do it! I read a thread in the ebay section just last week i think, from someone who had a similar problem with a high value item...they claimed it straight back via PP.

I agree. Do you specify UK bidders/postage only on your listings. If so, send a polite email to the buyer and tell them you don't ship overseas. I stopped selling overseas because of problems with buyers claiming to have not received items. You can send items tracked overseas but the reality is the tracking once it leaves the UK is only as good as the postal service in that country.

You need to be careful of charge backs as well. This is when the buyer reverses the payment after you have dispatched the item. Not as easy as it used to be but it still happens. Once you ship the item, it's gone. If they do a chargeback on it they get their money back and your item.

It looks good to me and we have Le Creuset as well (posh pans to you David.:rotfl:) I'm fond of making Tarte Tatin and indulged myself last year and bought a Le Creuset Tarte Tatin dish...makes things much easier when you are trying to flip over a very hot cast iron pan leaking red hot caramel.:eek:

I would not be able to afford the ingredients if I bought those posh pans :eek:

Evenings Eliters,
I'm gonna give up this DTD malarky, I tried a few weeks ago and was refused, saying they were the wrong ones, ok I let that one go.
Tried again at the weekend with the beef topside and top rump, £10kg on vac packs, yellow sel £5kg, pays and goes to cs acts all confused saying I think I've been overcharged, shows SA the sels, she agrees and checks with dept mgr, who says no the dtd as the barcodes are different and that a customer has put them there in the cabinets, we haven't had these since lunchtime, thats not my fault is it, the meat matches the description, am I expected to check every barcode I buy? I think not, he then says I can have them at £5kg, so I say ok, I'm thinking call H/o CS after.
Then duty mgr gets involved and says what will make me happy? I say full refund and the joints, no I can't do that its not an overcharge but we'll just refund the total amount and he will have the meat back, he says no to me having them at £5kg, and the meat is removed.
I take my refund and walk out, I call H/O they said they can't do a lot because I didn't have the meat, she contacted the store and came back with a £10 gift card which I've accepted.
But can I ask did I get the right beef as I started to think I got the wrong ones because they said the barcodes were wrong but I'm sure Ive read on here somewhere where the barcodes change at the end.

See, this is what worries me a bit as well...also the fact that the cheaper ones have blummin' great stickers on them...

I'm coveting that pot as well, but i just can't justify it at the mo. Maybe if my DTD works out tomoro!

I have 2 cond spends. A £5 off £40 and a £4 off £40. I will buy it with a nice jumper or jacket that doesn't fit and will go back for a refund that makes it justifiable

I do specify UK only but his ebay account says he is in the UK and it wasn't till after he had bought it that I saw the Peru address on paypal payment.
Somehow I don't think I will be sending this , will see if I get any sense from ebay tomorrow.
Thanks for all the replies.

Hi again - back to usual, I'm on here very late.

Busy day and I'm starting off with a rant... I so hate Mr T's!!:mad:
I went - wisely indeed - to check on t.com the exact terms and conds. regarding the 'spend £20 and get a £5-off voucher'. The £5 off voucher can only be used if you spend £40 on the second shop. There's no way I'm spending that much, especially when I can only get £10 back on PP.

So Mr T, I'm spending less with you not more, in order to get more value back than your £5 off 'helping hand' which would, it seems, only have helped me to put a noose around my neck.

No thank you.

Instead of the £20 spend on what would have cost £10 elsewhere, thus a spend of £10, in order to get £5, and then a forty pound shop costing £30 elsewhere, but in effect £25 with the voucher (total £10+£25 = £35!!!), I'm just spending (far less...)... well, actually... I'm going to embargo the exact details of what I'm doing for several months in case T is reading this forum and withdraws/amends any of its promotions before my plan can come to fruition. Sorry folks...it's not going to be much use as it otherwise only matches prices elsewhere, but with a £5 that is less value than the old Sains. Nectar voucher £8 off a £40 (£30 elsewhere) shop. 8 pound off each forty, sorry thirty with brand match, shop far better percentage than just £5 off £30 and then being tied in to spending yet again perhaps to get another £5 off what you wouldn't need to spend.

Also I notice the petrol price in my T is two pence a litre more expensive than nearby S or A. So if we do drive out to T, and then fill up with its petrol, we do lose out there!! Bet they start a new promo of buy £XXXX and get a voucher for 2p off each litre of petrol, making it the same price as elsewhere but spending lots in order to get it! A £60 shop in order to get pence off (overpriced?) petrol is too much, especially when it has to be at least £50 comparable grocery bill elsewhere. My own plan is much better!!
