Anyone know, or even used an alternative to ebay?

Used that Auctiva for listing, it linked up to your ebay listings............they even started charging to use that. Was that in some way connected to ebay?

I think the next biggest is Ebid, but even they're a minnow compared to fleeceBay.

I stopped selling on fleeceBay years ago when they/PayPal decided they didn't want to pay UK tax and abide by UK laws by shifting their accounts to Luxembourg. I closed my Pay-an-arm-and-a-leg-in-feesPal account - so when they stipulated all listings to offer PayPal as payment method, and stopped negative feedback for dodgy buyers that was it as far as I was concerned.

We have a car-boot within half mile of us so just use that when we need to.

You cannot end or amend an auction within 12 hours of it's end-time.

The copper was unfortunately found dead on the beach. This is a truly sad series of events in what is normally a beautiful part of the country, having holidayed there twice.

All I wish for is no further loss of life. 1 death is too many.

I've not noticed much difference between supermarket or BP / Shell in my V6. It tends to average 30-31mpg on my usual commute with whatever I put in.

Dreadful news. Thats why I'm always a bit concerned about one of my work buddies who bikes in on a notoriusly dangerous road (the A140) and he has a 1yr old lad.
