I wish they'd stop buggering about. Just as things are starting to
pick up post-Christmas, they're going to swamp us in crap again. Heigh
ho.

LOL @ "buggering about". You'd prefer everyone pay higher listing fee, just
because you list items on eBay regularly? Maybe you shoud take time off
during 5p day.

Missy, eBay is not a charity service; they're a business that's out to make
money and encourage new eBayers to start selling - that's how they make
money - and spread 'the word'!

Sorry that you ("us") have to be on eBay for a living, and I am sorry that
5p listing days seem to affect you.

I don't see why tat-shifters should have to apologise for liking them,
any more than professional dealers should have to apologise for
disliking them. We're equally entitled to our opinions, and equally
entitled to express them! Anybody who claims otherwise is a troll.

Well said. However, it does get a wee bit boring to hear *you* moan
everytime a 5p listing day comes along...

Thanks
