Whenever the Ebay threads arrive here I'm usually first in line to defend them. Mainly because I've used the site trouble free for many years and any issues have gone my way.......
.....I know I will lose this one. My funds from the sale are already on hold - so they will be taken back and I'll end up out of pocket.
Genuine feel for you hassle with ebay OP but i can only think of this for some reason lol
