I seem to have double posted!

I have bought and sold a fair bit off ebay and only ever had problems with sellers rather than buyers (3 different issues - 1 item never turned up, 1 faulty and 1 fake).

I don't agree with the changes though and I feel as though ebay has always been biased towards the buyers anyway. There are other changes that they could have done, for example, why couldn't they have had separate feedback ratings for buying and selling - a good purchaser does not necessarily make a good seller (and vice-versa) ...

What I really have a problem with is that there are far bigger issues than farting around with the feedback that they don't seem to be taking seriously , such as fake goods - anyone that searches for golf clubs on ebay will know what I mean

And I'm not sure if it is the case or not, but if you report someone as a non-paying bidder, surely they should lose the right to leave you feedback?

I was watching this originally and it sold for £273! - SRS sell them new for £289 so I lost interest in it well before it ended.

How can you tell it's not a Pentax as it's got a cap on the end?

Hi

Really enjoy seeing your pictures, especially as I work locally (Llanberis) but have never been up or around Snowdon though I have managed to make it up to Marchlyn Mawr on the opposite side of the valley as there is a road all the way to the the top! Didn't have my camera that day though ...

Of these I like no 1 the best, though I'm not really experienced enough to know why?! I just find it the most appealing. Love the sky in no 2 though.

Can I ask what lens you used and whether these were hand held?

Thanks.

Hi Gordon - had a quick look at the site and I do like the clean, uncluttered layout and colour scheme. It would be nice if there was a title or comment with the pictures as I find I often want to know about the subject of a photo, so for example knowing which pier I was looking at would be of interest to me.

Another comment is that while viewing the site at 1400x1050 some of the pictures did appear quite small, so those running a higher resolution on a large monitor may struggle.

Very nice pictures though and should be 'shown off' on a web-site

So where should the apostrophe go in "National Singles' Day"?

If you don't watch The Apprentice you will have no idea what I'm on about!

Sorry, I (wrongly) assumed you meant the 18-250 Tamron when I voted. I haven't used these lenses but I am interested in them and the research I've done so far suggests this is the one you should go for. It does seem to have a good review from everyone that has one.

Hi! Welcome to the forum ...

I had to venture on to another forum to get my fill ... Didn't post though so I haven't cheated!

... or was it just me that couldn't access it since Saturday. I tried again from work this morning but have only been able to get back on the forum in the past hour or so ...

not that I'm addicted to the forum or anything

Do you still have these? I wanted to bid on them but forgot as I was cooking dinner for my girlfriend! (her birthday - she may not have been happy if I'd interrupted dinner for ebay!).

I will happily have them if they are still available.
