Along with the push from the 2012 London Olympic organisers to ban the vuvuzela from the games, it has been announced that the 127db hearing threat trumpet has been banned from the Rugby World Cup next year in New Zealand. In recent news it was also advised that soon the vuvuzela will also be banned for good from all New Zealand grounds.
I really hope and pray that this trend continues to sweep the planet!
So I have this timeshare right. Some swish accommodation in Thailand that I’m not using. So I thought I should try my luck at selling my weeks on ebay. Never again. They are such bastards!
During the selling process I was looking online at what the charges etc were and somewhere I saw that if the item doesn’t sell then you don’t get charged the listing fees. I obviously misread it. My fees were £9.26. My item didn’t sell. I still got an invoice! I then got an email suggesting I could resist for “free”. Now I don’t trust anything from ebay anymore so I looked into it further. This is what I found out. This is what they DONT tell you:
So What’s the Catch?
There are two, really.
- First, the relisting process is not actually “free” in the sense that you don’t have to pay for it. Instead, it’s a credit—if your listing doesn’t sell the first time around and you relist it with a successful sale the second time (after having used the relist button), eBay will post a credit to your account for the value of the insertion fee. If the item doesn’t sell the second time around, you’re responsible for both insertion fees.
- The second catch is that this credit only covers insertion fees, not things like seller features fees that may help to increase the likelihood of a sale.
So if you know of anyone looking for accommodation in Thailand give me a shout. It’s still available!
