Yeah, when it's like that it's fine. I just seem to have had a really bad run

of people winning items, not paying. Then people winning, trying to claim money back as a part refund claiming stuff was part broken (then after I have shown evidence proving they are telling porkies, the item is suddenly fine and they leave positive feedback).

There are some really top buyers on there, but just lately i've notice the scammers and time wasters increase a fair amount, maybe just unlucky!
