Hi, probably 9 out of 10 people have had proiblems with ebay (but they still go on there), but yes i've had this problem before. This was even when i was an active seller on there so not been signed in for a while is not the issue. I tried to re-boot the computer and even contacted admin about it. Eventually i had to re-set my password but even sometimes still not been able to sign in. I couldn't change my username as this would affect my ratings. It ened up being their settings after an update on their part (I wasn't the only seller affected by this change).
Emailing them was more productive than contacting ebay live as you were given detailed instructions on what to do and they could be followed easily. I hope i have been helpful. Take care Donna

Well not problems but there is a guy that sells vw beetle speedos and they are all KPH ones and he says they are all origonal. Like ones for 68 - 72 bugs and it's pretty obvious he is making face plates and they are not genuine because Origional MPH speedos have 5 odometer wheels and the KPH have 6 so there is a hint if anyone buys one of ebay. He is making alot of money out of it as he could buy a box of old speedos for about $15 a speedo , then put a KPH face on it and they sell for over $100. If you dont mind the speedo not being a genuine KPH but still buy one beware the odometer will still read in miles.

Have been using them for over 8 years... E-bAy Aust Mainly... ONLY have bought a few things from overseas ebay.. UK-Canada-USA-China-Hong Kong-

I do get emails requesting payment for goods sent supposedly by Me... every 6 months, but just send it on to spoof@ebay and no problems...

this may be because I've never SOLD anything on ebay...
only bought...

I find e-bay and Pay pal great....

Excellent... Majority of people I deal with are also gret people.. naturally a few dickheads on there...
but Mostly great people.. [especially Aussies..- I have had a few problems with asian people in & out of Aust]
[they don't seem to trust anyone]

I did have a problem a while back with My computer security very high... but thats all I remember...

cheers

Lots of Bargains on e-bay....
Most sellers in Australia don't like the Pay pal charges

that'd be brent
nice bloke, he hasnt made heaps, only sold a couple of beetle ones and one was to me which im very happy with
they only correctly fit the 74 on KM/H speedos but
68 was the last of the 5 digit odos, so u could put them in anything after 68 but 68-71 only goes to 90mph so speed wouldnt be dead accurate

indiglow face do look awesome at night tho
