Is my post showing up funny? It looks ok here..but then I do seem to have some intermittent problems with MSE.

You appear to have 'super-sized' your text.

It's about this size, which doesn't look huge except that you also wrote quite abit - and that makes it appear larger.

But don't worry, if you want to be loud - you go ahead :shhh:

nothing looks odd here, not even your example (which I assume was supersized), how odd?

I'll go and cut the text down a bit..I am cross, but not THAT cross :eek:

Woo... I'd just like to say that since advertising some items on Amazon about a week ago - I've sold 3 DVD's, 2 Xbox games, and a CD - all I've which I don't watch, play, or listen to! - I've made over £35 after fees and posting! Certainly makes more sense to sell them than have them sitting there!

Hi Soolin

You look quite normal now

Actually I’m sitting here :wall: over the sheer incompetence of a major high street DIY retailer who after 3 weeks of waiting finally got surveyor to call to measure up and survey a house for a new bathroom and kitchen. Unfortunately the surveyor was sent to my home address, which is the billing address only, and not the house in which the kitchen and bathroom is to be fitted. That house is 90 miles away and my OH has battled for almost 2 hours through heavy motorway traffic to get there and is not amused.

The fact that I haven’t sold any books again today, nor has my Amazon purchase turned up, nor has my ebay seller responded to the chargeback I have opened, doesn’t seem to matter much at all. I may have to open more wine, if I don't log back in within 24 hours send out a search party.
Oh, and since all I am getting on MSE this evening is ‘page not found’ and all my posts are disappearing isn’t making me happier. I’m now forced to type this all out in word and then cut and paste it just to stand any chance of posting anything.

The glass of wine sounds like a good idea. Maybe once you have 'chilled' the Selling Fairy will pop round to cheer you up.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

My Play.com seller has continued to ignore me, so I have bought another copy from a different seller - I'll have to go through the Play A-Z later in the week - you're only allowed 3 in a 'lifetime' so I will be a bit miffed to 'waste' one on a £5 purchase - but it is the principle.

FFm, gosh only 3 claims per lifetime on Play, that's a bit harsh! I agree though that I would continue to a claim on the principle of it.

I'm doing the same with my ebay seller, I've put in a chargeback and I've made a complaint about him, I've also sent his emails to ebay. It's very petty I know for such a small amount but if he gets a slapped wrist over this then he might be more careful in the future.

Oh, and thank you for the selling fairy loan..I sold a book last night from my oldest stock box, the lot that I consider will never sell...so I'm pleased.

Yep you'll need airmail to Europe, but for lighter books it can sometimes be a fraction cheaper than sending within the UK as there is none of that faffing around with large letter/package nonsense and it is done entirely on weight.
