    Yes, although some in PR would say any publicity is good publicity, and ML is not unknown for wanting to get his name spread about ! :-)

    Good spot Payless

    I think it just goes to show what kind of "adviser" you could well end up with on ebay - anyone thinking of going that route be very very careful

    Have you seen some of the other jokers advertising on there .... some related to a colourful network !

    Can't say that I have

    But surely they cannot be compliant? Well it wont be my door the FSA comes knocking on!

    I'm all for choice, but if anyone is thinking of getting mortgage advice, then recommendations from friends and family would come top in the list.

    I don't think searching on ebay would even make my list :rotfl:

    I was having a conversation about how different brokers use the internet for prodcing leads ... and someone said that they will be on ebay next, and so we did a search!
