        His last SIM was 24GB (valid for two years) for £28.40. That’s less than half the price of 3.

          Steve, When they run out, he buys another. This is by far cheaper than topping up. He only uses 1-2GB a month so contract is not an option. Richard’s link shows prices. Eye watering.

            Steve, It’s a PAYG SIM. When the data was low, he would buy another.

            His bookmark worked without logging in. Now it doesn’t. This means setting up an account each time a SIM runs out.

                  If you have ‘pay after delivery’ with paypal, they pay the seller after 14 days. Leading up to this, the scammer sends out the ‘shipping from alternate warehouse’ twaddle hoping punters will not be savvy. After 14 days, the scammer clears out the balance on the hacked paypal account.

                  If you don’t have ‘pay after delivery’ they will clear it out straight away.

                  There are lots of clues in the listings pointing to a scam.

                  1. Low FB. Bought 19 items sold 1 in four years.
                  2. Sudden seller.
                  3. Bait pricing.
                  4. All five listings ended within one second. (Pulled by ebay)
                  5. Cut ‘n’ paste listing.

                    That’s what a scam is. Someone loses.

                    The scammer transfers the money out and disappears.

                    Then it’s last man to blink between paypal and punter.

                      The scam is simple.

                      1. Hack an ebay and paypal account.
                      2. List valuable stuff at silly prices.
                      3. Appease punters with tales of ‘supplier problems’, ‘ill health’, ‘unexpected order volumes’ and such.
                      4. Take the money and run.

                      I hope for you all this isn’t a scam. But it is.

                        That’s a shame. Mine live in roof (not suspended from lower beams) and keep bikes above head height.

                        Sad about your 650. I tried a 29. Not for me.

                            I use lifts in the garage. Similar to this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silverline-20kg-Bicycle-Lift-Bike-Cycling-554289-/351224195214?hash=item51c697e88e:g:6YcAAOSw4GVYNK8G

                            Mine come from Lidl. They are £6 when they have them.

                                    Ta much.

                                    @Robin, IIRC I will have uninstalled it two years ago.

                                    Steve, No skip. It chinned me off.

                                      Thanks everyone. I started at the top of this thread and worked down.

                                      Google wants bank card. Dream on.

                                      Double twist. Control NFC et al.

                                      Play Music. Possible. How bad are ads?

                                      @Robin Yes it’s a Samsung. There is an individual file player. No player (uninstalled?) though.

                                      Media Monkey. On the shortlist. B-)

                                      Music Folder Player Free. Ads.

                                      I had an epiphany half way through this reply. Does VLC have a mobile version? Yes. B-)

                                      My phone is a SM-G357FZ. ‘No suggestions’ result from Samsung website. :negative:

                                        EdP, Don’t luvvie bash. It only attracts their attention. ?

                                        As for my opinion. Watching the cast of Emmerdale Farm mince about on Children in Need was more enjoyable and a lot shorter. ?

                                          Just worked it out.

                                          My username appears. Blank password. I have to click username and select it from the drop down to get my password to appear.

                                          Edit: New bookmark sorted it. Didn’t see above as page not refreshed. :bye:

                                            FF doesn’t remember (or offer to) passwords.

                                            The password appears filled in momentarily then, as the page loads, disappears.
