    Thanks for the info Cath, it's nice to hear about sellers striking back! I can't really afford to leave ebay quite yet either, but once I'm out of debt I'll be gone for good. I might list some auctions around christmas because obviously that's a good time of year, but that will likely be it. I'd love to say that I'd stop buying on there but some of the CD's I've had were absolute bargains :o.
    Finally bought a home

    he he i will still buy on there too but to be honest it is a good deal for the buyer!!
    i am off on a course today so that will be more hour owed to me from work and some petrol money i did 3hours extra yesterday should be another 2 or 3 today! going to ask if i can have a few more days in the summer with the owed hours to cut down on childcare,.
    i was thinking about quiting work and having the summer off but i can't face going back onto income support it will be a huge jump in money from where i am now and i wouldn't be debt free this year if i do quit work so that is that

    On a thread on MSE a couple of months ago someone was complaining that another seller was using their photo out of photobucket without consent...Anyway, The person who the photo belonged to went into their photobucket album and put pictures of dog pooh all over the photo-obviously as the photo had not been saved (it was used direct from photobucket) the picture on ebay was covered in pictures of dog pooh and it took the seller (photo stealer) several days before they realised!!! lol
    Or if you list with auctiva they make your photos uncopiable (I think).
    Or on auctiva you can watermark your photos
    Or as someone suggested put your ebay ID or shop name on the pics
    Some of us aren't leaving ebay coz we can't afford to!!! :(


    LOl that is great- that person was a genius lmao!!!!!!!!

    Morning everyone,

    Where has the sunshine gone? :mad:

    Yesterday I was a good girl and took back the tops I got from Miss Selfridge, so I only spent £68 in total at the weekend. That’s much better than the £100+ I originally spent.

    I printed out ‘the’ job application form this morning, its very long and if you get more than 10 errors your application is chucked in the bin. I may find somebody who is VERY good at English to check it over for me. I’m even willing to pay – anybody here want the job? :rotfl:

    Have a great day all :j

    I'm very good at pointing out spelling mistakes ! Feel free to send it to me to check over- can u scan it and email it? No charge of course. Grammar isn't a great skill of mine so you will probably need to get someone else to check that !
