Me too, but the sceptic in me says "why, what are they after ?".  Are they going to push thro new rules, or change charges, or make it even more insecure and unsafe. I was after some hard drives, and there was one bloke selling 2 * 250G's for £50. He had quite a few for sale. Only prob was he would only accept internet bank transfer or cash paid into his bank a/c.  So if he doesn't send anything you are stuffed, no comeback.
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

I know for a fact that they're changing or have changed the feedback for sellers, making it so they can't give neg for come backs over their faulty etc goods.
In the mean time, i don't mind taking their £10.00  :y

It might be worth getting another account for selling stuff. I did, so that if some clown starts hitting me with -ve feedback, he won't destroy the +feedback I have built up over the years. Its like having several  email names, so that if one gets stuffed with spam you can change over to the alternative.

Sorry minor rant, but Ebay could be so good, but they put profit above safety. There was a recent thing on here about someone selling a Miggy, and the price went up a lot all by the same bidder, but because it was above £100 you can't see who's doing it. Looked like someone boosting his own sale. I emailed and complained, and got a nice email back, which basically said they were not going to do anything about it. I have been caught a number of times, but fleabay impliment rules that should work for their "millions of customers", but allow the small time crooks to get thro. Perhaps this £10 is just a sweetner to keep us happy in lieu of proper policeing.

Having said all this, I recon the internet and cross border shoping is quite good. I wanted some books on "weekend C++ crash course" (look out The Boy !!!!!!), and it was very very cheap to get them via Amazon from the USA and ship over here. I am just rebuilding an HP DV9000 series laptop, and have just sourced various bits I need to finish from California. A base and heatsink will cost about £15 plus about £7 post, which if I bought from suppliers in this country would cost silly money.
The world is changing, last one out please switch off the lights !
