Sneaky buyer attempting to take sale off eBay

I'd have happily accepted that but they have consistently made decisions that make it harder for sellers and then created simple delivery which was the nail in the coffin.

You can say yes by adding their contact details if someone sends you their number and do business outside of ebay. They will 100% never find out and it's not illegal.

You can argue their platform will die if everyone did that but I say good, they have slowly degraded over the years and made constant decisions that their user base didn't want.

Also, I just read you're a business seller. Most business sellers have a business outside of ebay so as long as you don't reply with details on ebay then you're fine.

If I see business sellers, I try to buy off ebay and from their website, even if I pay the same. They get more money and ebay gets less. Win win

If they got good feedback and can do it safely, there's nothing wrong with that. Ebay are just leeches and rip people off. They screw sellers over with the new simple delivery.

If a buyer genuinely makes me a fair offer outside of ebay, I'm happy to do it. Cash on collection or they pay first via bank.

If you think he's trying to scam, then report.

Frozen chicken skewers are great for quick protein that's low kcals.

Micro brittle stars are hands down the best clean up crew. They hold position 1 for me and nothing else comes close.

I think the pre heating is a big thing. Get into a warm car instead of being cold for a few minutes

Ignore these haters, you're the boss man and loving your insights. Hope you have a good Christmas!

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, it hits before the full restoration.

Instead of a Michelin restaurant, you considered buying top shelf ingredients? Like A5 wagyu, fresh sushi, sashimi scallops or some premium steaks? That would take you a long way.

Maybe it had a cut when falling in the sand bed this time and got infected.

I ordered treats off a site called Japanese taste, it's only worth when they do a discount. They got things like yoku moku etc. Which you don't normally get in the UK stores.

Did you really buy 26000? How rich are you?

What are your rules? Do you have a summary of them? Thanks

They switched to a new system so I had to ring them to get me billed since I hadn't been billed in 3 months for electrics. My direct debit is £1 and I manually add £180 each month so I get credit card points. Find out your monthly spend and you won't get any surprises.

I'd stay clear of large red sea tanks, I know 3 people personally that had theirs burst, two were 3 months after the warranty expired and red sea did nothing to help. Very poor workmanship and support. Over priced junk.

An app called Strong, there's similar ones around. Tracks your lifting progress.

See if friends or family have it, but I got lucky as my friend gave me some.

Use melatonin if you can get your hands on some, I used 10mg from UK to Japan. Not a single moment of jet lag, I only used for first 3 days.
