XBOX controller on ebay from a "UK seller". It turned up and was obviously not the "genuine" article as advertised, and totally unuseable. Have asked to return it, but the seller now appears to be in China....

TBH that's why I don't use Ebay.

You should contact ebay and get them to give your money back.

Oral B Smart 6500 toothbrush - I missed the offers on Amazon so ordered on on Ebay for the same price (£70) - not paying the £130 now on Amazon. The new models don't have a "timer" and use mobile phone apps but who takes their phone into bathroom?

Halfords battery (car) charger - just one of the cheaper models but I think I need something to work at a lower ampage to get charge more fully into battery (according to RAC man called out last time flat battery).

For those buying vouchers it's worth looking at the discount sites. These can offer discounts of vouchers so recipient gets same value but you pay less. Hides your stinginess (or promotes your generosity).

Just bought some gypsophila & forget me not artificial flowers for my Mum's grave since lately the flowers that I leave seem to be getting eaten by the rabbits within hours of being placed.

I just want my Mum's grave to look nice, although I'm not a lover of artificial flowers until I can come up with another alternative, I really do not know what else I can do. I have tried everything even bought a bitter apple spray from pets at home that I sprayed all over the flowers on Friday but again the rabbits also seemed to love this.

Is there any gardeners on the forum that can advice what flowers rabbits do not eat or what I could spray on the flowers so they won't eat them. Any advice would be most welcomed thank you.

100% refund with no quibbles when approached by ebay. Don't even have to return it, so they possibly knew it was fake rubbish.


Today I bought 400g of oregano from a trusted ebay seller... we use a lot of it...
