    Can't remember if i said £50 cheque from populus arrived yesterday?? sorry if adding twice - brain dead today!

    Curious about the number of posts thing....is there a reason to get to 1500 or is it just for fun :) lol
    (

    it was just for fun :) and also to keep the Fred bumped on the first page of the forums rather than dropping down. As we all know people do really well making extra money and we have seen many accomplishments from it, yours included :cool::D

    and also to try and get people to post their earnings, to give us new ideas etc ;)

    yes you did tell us about your cheque :)

    It sounds to me like the parcel has been taken by either a shop staff person or the delivery driver (maybe i just have a suspicious mind :o)

    Good that your buyer is so understanding but i do hope neither of you end up out of pocket! xxx

    yes I have a feeling the courier took it realising not been scanned as out of shop etc. and probably thought collectplus would stump up for it anyway.

    hopefully gets resolved this week though for lex.

    I wouldn't worry about it getting to Court. Am sure fleabay and CEO will sort out by end of this week and something will occur. Either camera will mysteriously reappear or a refund will be issued. Hopefully 2, one to Lex and one to her buyer. that would be nice :D take note mr ceo of Collectplus, good customer relations etc.

    right can we now stop discussing this please. Lex has done everything right and is waiting on a positive outcome. No need for further discussions on court processes etc.

    Yes I expect that's what's happened. That or it's lying around a depot somewhere unaccounted for. Hopefully now the CEO's involved I'll get my money back.

    It does sound as though the shop were in the wrong for sending the parcel away (If they did ) - but I think the only person who really wanted the parcel was the original buyer and (s)he was insistent on using C+ in the first place - Asking for it to be sent to this particular shop ?

    I wonder if the shop owner is a mate of theirs ?

    I expect the buyer will be opening a "did not arrive" case in due course. (full of apologies of course )

    Let's hope that the CEO (who doesn't seem to be bound by "Data protection" in the same way his staff are ) sends Lex a cheque as a goodwill gesture.

    [ I don't think you have an unduly suspicious mind FC ;) ]

    shame 8 out 0f the 10 items didn't actually sell, but oh well, try again next month.


    Got a shocking amount from musicmagpie/CEX, but a lot of people have said it takes weeks and weeks for payment so not gonna count it yet

  • Ooh, and....

    Hubby lost £20........
    I found it..... (In the pocket of the jeans that he threw in the wash, which in all honesty is the reason he thinks he lost it haha).....
    Sooooo.....
    If I give that back to him as his Friday night going out cash, I technically save £20, right?? :rotfl:
