Here we go again.... only this time they are being much more creative and are using multiple accounts to deceive me!

MASSIVE COURIER GUIDE NEWS! Shutl have now removed the Collect+ Economy option from the postage labels that can be printed directly from eBay. They instead recommend the (more expensive) Standard option. However, Collect+ still offer the Economy option, either direct or via Parcel2Go! This courier g...

This one is a right gem. I can't believe that something like this would ever happen, but it has. Please be aware of the buyer in question! The buyer was... heftymadmax They bid on a job lot of 50x Alkaline Batteries - presumably without reading the description - then sent me an eBay message: "...

Forty three.

Now then, is this just me, or is February 2018 the month of dodgy buyers?! This is the 3rd time in a few days that I've had to update this list... Here we have an absolute gem. I didn't think this would ever happen, but here goes... User in question: jimmynock38 This buyer didn't even have the chan...

Courier Guide has now been updated as of 1/13/19. This is to reflect the Shutl price increases that came into effect on January 4th, 2019.

@spotify95 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-46647954 :D Nice :D However, if it is based on the Radio 1 chart, then I don't give two hoots about it as I don't ever listen to BBC radio and haven't tuned in to their chart show in about a decade.

Haha, nice one! I can see the concrete lighting in the background of that image, so I can see where you are coming from - maybe that road will have all of its concrete LPS' lamps disappeared along with new shiny LEDs in their place?

Another update to this list is forthcoming! This time, it's: mysiczek Reason? Well, plagiarism? Theft of intellectual property? No attempt to reference my listings? Or just stealing my descriptions/titles as they see fit? If you have a similar item to what someone else is selling, then fine, use th...

@spotify95 Yesterday I reported a flickering pinkish red LPS light outside my mum's house and tonight discovered it's been replaced with an LED! All the rest on that road will be replaced within a few months. Also, the final few LPS lights on the road going past Tesco have now been replaced with LE...

It's time for another update. Usually, eBay is a nice, civil platform to buy and sell on, and there's not usually any vindictive buyers out there to try and cause havoc. I say "usually", because there's always the odd troublemaker or so. Today's troublemaker is: gbmfreewheel This buyer pu...
