I think free shipping wasn’t intended and I will be charged carriage, they’re just getting set up for International buyers and getting flooded with orders. They do accept PayPal, it should be enabled on the site soon

oh, and it says that they DO accept PayPal. Saw it in their Terms and Conditions for payment. Maybe it was changed???

I was surprised too that they want international sellers to make a phone call to the US.
Emailed them about it and got a quick reply advising me that they’d be happy to help with an email order.
I asked for a size guide as well for the clothing. Any regular eBay seller will put more info in about their items than the eBay shop has.
And she also said she’d be sending me the FedEx rates, so I don’t think free shipping is the regular thing they do
See what they come back with.

I am too puzzled why it’s on a seperate website not an eBay Shop/Store. Methinks it might be they would fall foul of SNP pretty quickly…

Dammit.

I could not resist the lure of a USB plasma orb….
Or the metal folding weather station/alarm clock…

Regardless of the fact they have eBay branding or not, they are both satisfying my need for gadgetry at a relatively low cost!

cant think why anyone would want or need such rubbish
and to actually pay for it takes some grasping

that big business all over.
you would think at the board meeting one bright spark would put forward the idea of an ebay shop with paypal if nothing but to highlight the suitablity of the brand.
no the go off spend K’s on this and that research and it was under there nose all the time.
lol

now onto the nhs.

“eBay packaging perhaps?”

Lindy, if you’re going back to the post “by the ex-eBay employee”, it *is* a fake, you do know that?
