I'm useless at searching!

Post by enid »

I want to try to let the two weeks that my guests have had to cancel because their son has had a road accident. (They have paid by the way). I want to try E Bay and I know there is a lot of advice on here but i am useless at doing a search on the forum. Iknow some of you are experts ' Ros? Jane?) and I would really appeciate your help. :)

Also does anyone know how Lastminute.com works?

Hi Enid - here's one to be going on with, I'll see what else I can dredge up - assuming Ros doesn't get there first!

This one has a link in it to other (older) threads, but if you look at a post of Helen's on page two, she gives a link to the right part of e-Bay, if you haven't found that yet.

viewtopic.php?t=5386

This might come in handy too!

viewtopic.php?t=6155

.... and this! (showing off now): viewtopic.php?t=1493

Couple of useful tips here too Enid. I've left e-Bay highlighted to help you spot them:

viewtopic.php?t=3891&postdays=0&postord ... y&start=15

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

That is very kind of you Enid. :)
Trying every way to get rebooked.
Im sure the family will be really grateful if you are able to, so they can recover some of their outlay.

Good Luck

Good luck Enid! We've bought but never sold an item on e-Bay and your experience might just be the kick up the wotsits we need!

It sold!!!!! - quite a bidding war at the end - very exciting - so I can give my clients some money back. The Buy it now price was £500 and the auction starting bid was set at £250 and it went for £365.

Memo to self - check our travel insurance policy!!!!!
