I have now gone back into my account its says 5 items to pay for mostly from people with little or no feedback ( none of which i have bid on at all whatsover ) .. Does anyone have any advice? Has anyone heard of thsi happening before ? . I am very concerned now..
Answer:
the sellers are all in China too...
Answer:
No expert, but it sounds to me like your account has been hacked into?
Not sure if it'll help, but the first thing I'd do would be to change my password.
Answer:
thanks BB, Really dont need this cr*p at the moment ! will look into that
Answer:
Oh no!
I've seen several threads on the Ebay community forum about account hijacking and it does sound as if that's what's happened to you :(
You might want to post there for some help. I don't want to put a direct link to the forum in because it might not be allowed since it's a commercial site.

Nice coats in the sale?
My Mum has offered to buy me a new coat as it's getting seriously cold, so was just wondering if any of you guys had seen any nice ones? I'm not really after a particular style to make it awkward, but no parkas. Would have to be high street and pref on sale, or just not too expensive. taa
Answer:
Gap, Mango and Zara still have nice ones left.
Answer:
Reiss have some fab bargains at the moment too!
Answer:
Got a lovely belted jacket from Warehouse, but if it's a longer length one you're after Gap have some lovely ones!

my friend is getting married in August and wants to steer clear of the traditional dresses as she has a budget of around £100 and is not a traditional looking kind of bride. She has charged me as chief bridesmaid to start finding her some options. anyone got any suggestions?
Answer:
Try Monsoon and also occasionwear in Debenhams.
Answer:
Well, where you say she's not traditional.. how do you mean? Whats her style? :)

shes into skating and mountain biking, so mainly wears jeans t-shirts from bench and paul frank. she also used to be a goth, the piercings are gone, but the huge tribal tattoo from the middle of the back to he elbow isn't going to go with a 'white wedding' image! all the 'alternative' websites were a bit goth / medieaval. any ideas would be appreciated!
Answer:
Bigboots get theyself over to the wedding forum, the girls there are great for ideas. If she is into the goth or medieval look then I think Oldpunk has some websites, but other than that all the girls on there are so different I am sure there will be some suitable suggestions for you and your friend. And they are very friendly and helpful!
My dress isn't very traditional, but was over the budget of £100. Some of the bridesmaids dresses would perhaps be more suitable - what about Dessy, they have some gorgeous evening and bridesmaids dresses in every colour imaginable that I know some people have worn as wedding dresses.
Dessy dresses
Other than that there seems to be a trend at the moment in the bridal mags for black and white wedding dresses, and also a lot of red, perhaps these would be less traditional for her? There's also the option of having it made, it would be much cheaper.

They call it a cullotte dress (How it can be a dress when it's trouser bottom?) and i rather like it:o
I think it would look great in the summer with oversized sunnies and some red heels.
Am i mad? :D
Answer:
Oooh, where's it from CiC?
I'm kinda liking it too, esp your outfit suggestion but would have to see it IRL to judge I think

Answer:
I'm not keen on brown handles with that bag, but then I'm not keen on that style of handle anyway!
Answer:
Ooh Bella, that one you posted with the blue flowers is almost identical to the fabric I made my laptop sleeve out of! :D
Answer:
I like the ones Bella posted. I also like the first one but the handle is not practical for my needs. They really are pretty!
There is a lovely stall on Portobello Road selling bags made of antique Kimonos - I have an apricot shopper which I love, and another canvas bag with the rising sun painted on it.
