    Evening all.
    Hope every ones ok.

    Hope you don't mind, but about to go off on a rant.
    I'm selling off some of my Dad's old records whihc he doesn't want anymore. 3 of the ones that have ended have all 'sold' to people abroad. 2 have no feedback and 1 has 8 feedback score. 2 of the records (1 with feedback of 8 and other with 0), have gone for way above what they should have. Both are worth about £50, but one has gone for £130 the other £205 :eek::mad:.
    Anyway a friend who has sold records before has said that there are people who run the bids up and then not pay. :mad:
    So got horrible feeling this has happened. Will have to wait about a week before I will offer under bidders a chance.
    Still annoying though. :mad:

    Right thanks for the rant.

    Think it went ok

    Very wordy exam. and i don't like that kind of exam.

    At least with numbers you can gauge how well you did with your answer. With words i always worry that i'm waffling (not on here though obviously!)

    Hope it wasn't too bad for you, a few of us at uni called that one and P3 the waffle exams, as long as you could talk around the general principles you're fine:)
    ;) Done I had a quick whizz through some of the other photos and noticed another person getting MSE votes. Good luck, how do you find out how many votes each person has, and can we vote daily?

    think you can only vote the once, i had already voted for the other MSE member on there when i saw mgamble post, tried to vote for her too but FB wouldn't let me

    You can open an unpaid item case now after 2 days, so if you dont think they are going to pay do that, you wont have to wait as long then and then put them on your blocked bidders list HTH

    Ive stopped selling to people abroad altogether. It's too much hassle and there's too many scammers. There are a few scams from foreign buyers. Do you mind me asking which country/ies the buyers are from?

    I'm joining you on the diet thing next week :o

    My diet starts each Monday morning and finishes by lunchtime. LOL.

    I tried to be really good last night. I had no crisps in my boudoir nor did I have any sweets. However, when I woke up this morning there were 3 empty crisp packets and lots of Vimto chew sweet wrappers. :(:o:(

    Who was it? Who sneaked into my boudoir last night and disposed of their litter there? How rather very dare they! Or was I sleep walking and eating again?

    Hi the countries are Mexico, Malaysia and Japan.
    Have sold abroad before, and been ok. Luckily if they do pay, I send it recorded.
