Bargain.

You spelled completely wrong and used an apostrophe in photos where not required, though

Ebay China will cause a whole load of problems........

What about account hijacking? Someone hijacked my account last week and started selling 95 prada handbags. I responded to no scam emails or gave my password away, yet it takes a week to get my account back. Live help? LOL takes ages and ages to get any help at all.

Don't get me started on that bunch of pirates. An aboslute disgrace to the online community. Mind you; it's National Customer Service week so if there's a good time to call them, it should be now...

Same happened to me. When they finally refunded my account for the listing fees (about 70 quid), it was of course just my ebay account, and I had to put another request in to get it back on my credit card.

I reckon it's not scammers, it's Ebay getting earning interest on my cash

yet another **** take

I Was trying to sell a camcorder last week and kept getting bids up to £4k off some scamming barstewards,in the end all the legit bidders got fooked off and stopped bidding.
Sent over 20 e mails to e bay and not one response yet. Absolutely fcucking pathetic,what other buisness could get away with customer support like theirs.
