just to put the whining of facts into proportion

But to be credible, we must also criticise:
tv ads?

That link doesn't work here...

You need a full stop in the line above!

Barclays talk a pile of sh!te with everything.

Have you seen the advice for when buying from auction sites?

"Try spelling it different....put in an extra 'l' or 'p'. Mix it up and you might find a bargain that nobody else has seen"!

Garbage as Google will correct it every time!

Well I was going to say thanks but I certainly won't be watching that.

Must say I didn't read the content of the link, otherwise I wouldn't have commented.

A rapacious rate of interest for muppets who borrow on them, almost criminal you would say

Wonga's new direction on advertising (along the lines of it's for everyday working people like you) also stomach churning

Sorry but the Garbage here is your garbage, I've not seen that advert but it's correct.
People don't search ebay from google normally, they search from within ebay.
I've sometimes myself searched for listings that might be named badly and spotted bargains compared to the exact same item that's listed well, if they've put the wrong or bad wording then most people miss them.

And anyway even if google autocorrects YOUR typo it doesn' autocorrect the LISTERS typo.

Try not to be a tw@t all your life , there's a good lad

Thanks for clearing that up JC.

As an e-bay virgin I should obviously keep my nose out of it!

Well I'm not embarrassed after all, as I just put in five ridiculously bad spellings, and four were auto corrected
and took me straight to the listings.

The other one found zero listings.

The last one I searched was "Pine Draws", as I know that is spelled wrongly by many.

Guess what, it's right there at the top of the listings, so I take back the previous comments, as the garbage is, in fact, from you!

You searched via what? Google? Ebay?

I just went to ebay, and tested with a typo on a common thing and sure enough, first attempt, it just returned things listed with just that mistake.

I'm not arguing with you about this. If you don't even use ebay or the like, why are you persisting in arguing with people who actually do know about these things and how they work? Do you go to to doctors and start telling them where the are wrong in their medical diagnosis, or tell Messi where his dribbling is wrong???

There are skills to getting items (hopefully) cheaper and this one of them.

It's quite obviously really, if you can take the path less travelled to bid on a similar item, you'l have less competition for it as other people won't be seeing it.
