    Sorry to hear about your eBay problem. Just a bit worried that it was a genuine eBay message about real fraudulent activity. There are lots of spoof ones doing the rounds, I get about 2 a week:eek: ,which are nothing to do with eBay and are just an attempt to get people to input their details etc so they can commit fraudulent activities.

    Good Luck:beer:

    Morning all :D

    Well I've checked my quidco this morning and have £91.42 tracked or validated, this includes £50 CB for an Alliance & Leicester Account which I opened that I registered with quidco on the day this challenge started, so I hope you all don't mind but I'm going to include that in my total as seeing such a huge amount of money in my sig is gonna give me real inspiration. I was going for the £300 but think I'll try for the £1k now :D

    Ebay here we come!!

    I'll pop back later.

    Another ms site I used to use (before mat. leave) is:
    http://www.edigitalresearch.com/eMysteryShopper/index.htm
    It is mainly website reviews so you can do it from home. Work not regular though and you need to earn £15 to cash in. There is one client doing the rounds at the moment for £65 for a visit, but it is a little difficult as it involves returning a product. Nice when you get the cheque though!

    Thanks for advice i will double check with ebay- it does sound offical though. They dont want details off me and have laid out that i must type in the address and not click on a link. I did have spoof emails sent aswell though.
    Im just gonna go get my exact loose change total.

    There's a Subway MS I could do just a few doors down from where I work, but I'm too nervous (it'll be my first)!
