So, a buyer comes along and makes a 99p bid.  The option to "buy it now" disappears.  That buyer then contacts the […]

I just got an invitation to sign up for a Paypal Debit Card.  Should be much better to be able to spend paypal funds without having to draw it down to the bank account first.

Yesterday I found an App called "nDrive" - it's a satnav and costs just £5 (might be on a special offer for that price, as I see lots of reviews saying it is £10). I've been after a satnav for a long while but didn't want to pay £60 to Tom Tom for something […]
