6956 forum posts 229 photos	One of the other problems I once found was a buy-it-now that included the postage but the seller was only half a mile from me and there wasn't a way of removing the postage and offering to pick it up. Even thinking about trying a message exchange meant it was bought by someone else.

(not that you will take any notice) Your opening response to Michael's not unreasonable criticism of one of the many bizarre vagaries of eBay did come across as gratuitously unsympathetic, Howi, to me at any rate.

442 forum posts 19 photos	Ebay like many other sites such as Amazon, Hobbyking, Aliexpress, Banggood etc all have vagaries that we don't like, such as bombarding you with adverts/offers etc after searching for items. Personally I just ignore them as being totally irrelevant as i have most likely already purchased the item I was looking for from another source, BUT like I said, while it may bug you(and me!), you can't do anything about it. Bleating about it on this or any other forum isn't going anywhere and while we may simpathise with you or not, is this really worth a spat? Come on folks, get a grip and move on. If feelings are that delicate.............!
