    It's looking like ebay silly season is starting again :(

    Between us we've had an item not received, and item that 'might' have arrived damaged (they haven't opened it yet :doh: ) a return for a reason that was shown in the listing, a complaint about an item that hasn't been posted yet (they haven't paid). *sigh*

    It's a good job that we have so many positive transactions as it makes you wonder why you bother!

    I've finally received a £5 survey cashout that I've been chasing for weeks. I've also finally achieved £40 on one poll so waiting for that.

    I spent a long time yesterday doing a survey for £15 only for it to time out at the very end. Will keep an eye on that and complain if I don't get credited for it. :mad:

  • I hate it when surveys do that. I like You Gov because it never does that.

    Yes, it's so annoying! It was My Survey which I am finding is so glitchy these days. You gov is good.

    Thanks Brizzle, it is frustrating! Luckily the item that might have been damaged wasn't, and the buyer who hadn't paid has now paid!

    OMG, just logged in to one of my accounts, and the PPI plevin complaint I did last week has obviously been upheld. My balance has been reduced by £450 :T:T:T and Plevin refunds are showing on the transaction list.

    I'd already been refused PPI on this account so wasn't overly expecting anything :D:D:D

    Definitely look into the Plevin stuff if you've been rejected for a PPI claim before!
