RE: Play.com returns

I recently ordered some memory for my laptop. Instead they sent me a poh-pooing reindeer :/ . Anyway a quick email to them and they asked that I sent the item back recorded which I did. The day after I received the correct item and also an email from them saying they would refund postage and also the price of the memory. :D

Very happy with Play.com and will continue to use them. Have ordered over 50 items and this was their first mistake.

RE: Official England v Sweden thread...

Hargreaves for all his critics played well last night and I believe it is a better setup if he plays in front of the defence.
It would take a brave man to do it but I would be inclined to start with lennon on the right and drop Beckham next round. It`s never going to happen unless he picks up an injury.

Still think we have a chance with a little luck as I believe we have the best defence and midfield in the WC.

The WC starts against Ecuador

RE: Ebay Help

Direct bank transfer. Spoken to my bank and they are not interested. We don`t bank with the same banks so it would have taken 3 days to clear. I have his sort code and bank account details but my bank state that the transaction was not fraudently carried out so i can`t ask for the transaction to be reversed.

RE: Ebay Help

No payment was not via Paypal. Payment made via Internet banking :/

Ebay Help

Hi All,

I thought I would try here as you seem to be a nice bunch ;)

I have recently won my first item on ebay however the item which i received ended up being a fake. This was pointed out to the seller and he stated he would refund me. However after nearly 3 weeks of numerous Text messages and telephone calls i have still not received the refund although i keep getting promises. He now tells me that I have to claim the money back from him via my Ebay account to ensure all is settled correctly however I can`t see this is possible. The amount due is approx £110 and to say this has left a bad taste is an understatement. I have now opened a dispute within Ebay and the seller has openly stated he will still refund me. What action can i take to ensure he does ? I have a paypal account but he states his was closed due to fraud. I given the guy plenty of opportunity to resolve this. Would the police be interested ? Trading Standards ? I have the guys mobile number, Bank account details and address.

Thanks for any help

RE: Panasonic DMRE55EBS DVD recorder £229-00

Bought this today from Richer Sounds in Brighton. They were happy to price match Digital-Point at £216.99 for Multi Region. :D Also had my old Tosh sd210 to trade in under RS`s guarantee system so ended up paying £122 :o

Well happy and Richer Sounds were a pleasure to deal with.

XP2000`s are 133 so I would have thought your 1800 would be the same.

RE: what spec pc needed?

ATC,

With the mods you listed above your not far from building a pc anyway. I found myself in a similiar position to yourself last month and decided to take the plunge and build my own pc, having only perviously installed a new graphics card,cd rewriter and extra memory. I used ebuyer to source the bits and took my time to read the motherboard booklet and the excellent 4 page step by step broucher that came with it. Whilst I was scared of breaking things I got there in the end and I`m well please with the finished results and myself.

Best wishes

RE: 3 to go video mobile - £50

Tigalad,

Agree that 3togo is not the same as PAYG but I think you will find that you only pay for what you use. The offer above includes £10 worth of downloads for the first 3 months. If you don`t use the phone then my understanding is that you won`t be charged a penny.

Trust I`ve read it correctly

RE: Do you have Honda

I bought a Civic SE Executive brand new and it bores the pants off me. But it`s reliable and not likely to get me into trouble with the local police who are out to get motorists at all opportunities for speeding. What`s the point of having a car that can do 150mph in Britain ?

RE: Whose the most famous person you have seen??????????

Met Gary Newman "Pop Star in 80`s" whilst I was staying in Crewe on Business (Late 80`s).Was happily chatting to him when his chick came into the bar and said " Are you coming to bed ?" Gary Replied " Not Yet I`m talking". V nice bloke.

RE: Whose the most famous person you have seen??????????

Aged 14 I ran onto the Cricket Pitch when Sussex were playing Somerset at Hove and lunch was called. Went up to Ian Botham and asked for his autograph. Told me to "@@ck Off" Nice bloke. !!!!!

RE: Motor Insurance - who`s the cheapest ?

Try the following website www.confused.com It asks you to put in your details once and then goes away and checks with all the big insurers and lists the quotes. The cheapest I got turned out to be Elephant saving me around £100 from last year. Saves ringing around as well.
