    Try BBC's watchdog program too. Ebay seem to listen to them, as it was because of the program that seller feedback was banned.

    Really? I fear for the next brainless plan Watchdog comes up with then.

    What am I saying? I'm sure Watchdog sell on ebay all the time and have a full and balanced view of the impact their proposals have on the community :rolleyes:
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    Don't forget that the serious bit of news will be around 40 seconds long, the rest of the 8 minute section will be long looks to camera, reports (at least three times) of how Mrs X is disabled and trusted someone because they had a really nice user name.

    I am interested though as to why techspec you think Wathdog were the ones who got seller feedback banned? Do you have a link please. I am surprised that the UK Watchdog programme actually got ebay.com to stop feedback..even if the UK Government can't get the Americans to do anything, and of course ebay.uk only followed on from the US model.

    Oh yes, reminding Watchdog about how they care so much for thier users..whilst smirking at camera. At least that awful Nicky Campbell has gone , he couldn't ask a serious question if he tried and used to give companies a really easy time.

    Oh no, please don't tell me I imagined it, I can't stand him.

    Rushing off to check google as I type!

    Panicking now, maybe it was just a dream as I can't find anything that says he left.
