Fair enough Gary, as I said, never had any real problems in 7 years, sadly the horror stories are usually because people don't follow the very basics, when buying.

I have a friend who bought off ebay and sold there for years, she used a guy with great feedback at xmas time to get presents for her kids and got ripped for nearly £200, felt so sorry for her, and she thought she was a wise buyer and ebay did nothing all to help really, like anything in life there is always a exception to the rule sadly :(

If she had paid via Paypal, she would/should have got a full and almost immediate refund Gary, they always favour the buyer.

The real problem is, like anything in life Gary, if we let one isolated, often second hand tale of woe, distract us from using something, then life would become very difficult, to say the least.

Regarding the OP, I don't think I would buy off anyone with that many negative feedbacks anyway, but thanks for the heads up, Dean.  :)
