The original image may have been 18Mpixel but the received picture is highly unlikely to be.


Unlikely it may be, but that's not proof.

Put it this way, if this got to me as a paypal/ebay adjudicator I know which way I'd decide.
They'll decide in favour of the method that allows then to keep their fees (about £65 in this case all told). The seller wins again I'm afraid.

Wonder how the buyer will feel when he realises - poor s.. he really should learn to read everything that's on the listing
I think he has - if you look at the feedback it was left just a few hours after the purchase. Buyer's remorse doesn't even start to cover it...

I'd file a SNAD saying the picture was not 18Mpixel as described.
He's charged £10 for p&p (insult to injury) so all he's got to do is provide the printed version - it'd be very hard to prove how many MP went into its make up...

And someone actually bid £500 for a picture !!
Not bid, it was a buy-it-now.

As far as I can see the buyer has no comeback either as the item is as described technically.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this one:

Read the listing and see if you can spot the catch. If not, read his feedback then read the listing again.

Some people...

My local Poundshop is currently selling laptop sleeves (for £1 funnily enough) - these are made from neoprene which could be cut up and fitted inside your rucksack to provide protection. One would probably yield enough material to go around a 6x7 but for that money you could get two to be on the safe side. They're only doing them in hot Barbie pink unfortunately, but as they won't be seen from the outside it shouldn't be a problem.

First (and also clincher) was a Rollei B35 handed down from my Dad when I was very young (5? 6?). He always had several cameras knocking around and by giving me the little Rollei it stopped me begging to play with his more expensive toys. It was my only camera until I was in my 20's.

I'd skip the extension tubes and lens hoods (and anything else that ties the kit to a certain outfit) and just keep it generic - much easier to deal with and cheaper to source.

Stick a grey card in there too

That's the last you've seen of that then

I'll stick with Royal Mail - they may be expensive but they've never lost or broken anything of mine yet. More than can be said of other services
