It has to be the Tax and the price of fuel that does it.

theres no such thing. its a completely made up bollocks way of paypal finding a way to hold your money for almost 10 days.

Just as withdrawing to bank taking 7 days. again complete bollocks, they just holding on to your money before doing a transfer.

This is why paypal moved to luxemburg as the banking rules allow them to get away with it where as here theyd get in shit

you would make more if you have the space and time to collect,

the car collected 2day so im sure Dan will post back to say what the car is like soon.

as to the echeque thing, yeah i know its bollocks, i was told years ago that waiting for cheques to clear is bollocks aswell,

Couldn't see a mileage properly there... has it got 800,000 miles on it or something?!

Crazy money for a crazy spec car that is likely to waft on and on and on....


Cheers,
Grant
