I do not understand E-Bay, nor have I been able to register with them (in case I ever wanted to buy anything!). Every time I tried to register I was rejected!!!!

However, it does concern me that legitimate retailers (of quality goods) find it necessary, or indeed are able, to sell through this medium. I always thought it was for the use of private individuals. It seems wrong that those with established retailing outlets - on the street or on-line - should be able to use this, the on-line equivalent of newspaper Small Ads.

I know you are a commited AOL user Hamish!

But whether this is affecting your ability to register, I don't know, however, registering with ebay probably requires your browser to be able to handle 128 bit encryption in order to ensure your personal information can be transferred securely.

I suggest you try using Internet Explorer (V6 at least) as this will certainly be able to do the job.

I have bought an argyll jacket amongst other things from ebay. There are bargains to be had out there!
