I've seen something I want to buy on this site, but I'm not confident as never used it before.  Any tips/feedback to encourage or discourage the purchase.  It's a set of Christmas lights at a very good price, if that makes any difference to the replies.  Thank you.

    I want to buy something from OnBuy, but am reading mixed reviews.  The price of the Christmas Lights I want to purchase is very reasonable and that makes me worry?  Any thoughts?  Thank you

    Just bought an item from this site advertised at £71. By the time I authorised payment through Paypal it was £79. Have messaged them asking for an explanation. Will post again when I have received my item and explanation.

    I expect the OP will have bought their lights by now if they intended to. This thread is from October 2021 and they haven't visited the site since
