    Picador 10” disc sander SOLD SUBJECT TO COLLECTION

    I have the same sander I made a simple box to sit it on and an extraction port off to one side, used a bit of a vacuum cleaner tube, silicone sealed all the way around it works reasonably well

    New saw (been a while)

    I have a Scheppach 1600f as a secondary machine which apart from the blade clamps is more or less the same machine I have not got around to it as yet but will try and fit a quick tension release, the present wind up down knob is a bit of a pain to be honest I fitted one to a Hegner which...

    AWFS18

    I also have the AWFS18 and am very happy with it and have found it an excellent saw The Hegner quick clamp is the solution to quick blade changes, it may be expensive but worth its weight in gold Before the brass roller upgrade came out I made my own modification to the easily worn out nylon...

    A portrait.

    Quite so, useful for the American market but the machines are not really relevant for the UK or Europe The WEN is basically the same machine as sold by Aldi for half the price or less I have never owned a Dewalt 788 but given the number of posts I have seen regarding breakdowns and the need to...

    Your entire online purchase history (if you use Gmail)

    It only records those purchases where you have opted for an electronic receipt In my case Screwfix and Argos, but I have bought very many more things from many suppliers which are not recorded

    Paypal payments can a buyer cancel without notice

    Well to wrap it up I ignored suspected scammer and surprise surprise they haven't made further contact But last night I got another prospective buyer, who has just followed up and collected, paid in cash So all is well that ends well

    Amazon Echo

    I see what you mean, just checked mine and sure enough all there With ahead line that says :- "Only you can see your purchases. Google protects your privacy and security" Of course why would I worry, no one has ever been hacked into and have lost data online have they ;-)

    Amazon Echo

    I agree there is a price to pay *if* you allow it A lot of smart phone aps request full access to all your data, regardless of whether its relevant, which gives them carte blanche to take your data and do with as they will, so I don't use those aps Likewise facebook, if you play their silly...

    Amazon Echo

    I don't think anyone is daft enough to think that there are thousands of spies/government agencies hanging on peoples every word But I am surprised that some seem quite happy that they use the data they gather to bombard us with ever more spam in various ways, the paper spam has mostly dried up...

    Paypal payments can a buyer cancel without notice

    No we didn't get that far, so had no idea where they were supposed to be What raised my suspicion was that soon after posting the item which has seven photos, the enquirer asked if I would email the photos to a given email address, so my first thought is why if the photos are on Gumtree, but...

    Paypal payments can a buyer cancel without notice

    Yes I understood the theory but in the paypal blurb it does state that once paid they have to request a refund and only then can they open a dispute case, however it is ambiguous, as I said from the start Needless to say it raised my concern, hence the post, I shall err on the side of caution...

    Paypal payments can a buyer cancel without notice

    I don't know why I didn't think you check before but just googled the persons email address, only thing I found was a post on one of the telephone reporting sites, suggesting this person was a scammer using a different name to the one she gave me, so perhaps I was right after all I was going...

    Paypal payments can a buyer cancel without notice

    I know, makes no sense to me either Many companies over here print their bank details on their statements and web sites so how a bank can advise against it is beyond me

    Eh? Is that right?

    Also a common practice to hold the advert on ebay Its made me do a double take on several occasions

    Paypal payments can a buyer cancel without notice

    All I can say is ask Lloyds, Barclays & Nat West all of whom advised against it

    Paypal payments can a buyer cancel without notice

    In response to that, I have sold more through gumtree & ebay than on facebook, facebook is immediate and passes in seconds, so you have to keep reposting as its lost almost as fast as its posted, generally gumtree is more trustworthy than facebook IMHO, although there are problems with both, it...
