Since this post, I now seem to be getting lots of posts like the below on my Snappygear FB page! David Gilbert Today at 00:05 AVOID AVOID AVOID INTERNET FRAUDSTER - Ripped me off for £2000. Lists on Facebook / eBay / Photography Forums etc but has no stock. The Police are coming for you...

I'll be in touch with @boogieman my issue was in 2011 on POTN but still have lots of info...

It's do-able. Consider.....stock purchasing, insurance, stock holding area and security, distance selling regulations, accountants fees, bank fees, communication fees, website design and set up costs, finding the right stock at the right price, selling at the right price, be prepared for people...

Wiggle are awesome! Now thats a company that knows what customer service is! Now is there a cycling thread in the OOF section? BRB!!

I'm surprised you're not getting the results from this camera as it is a cracking body and focussing system. I used one for 2 years doing motor sport and a superb hit rate with it....gotta be something simple! Is it worth posting up an image that you're not happy with? Rob

Good stuff this! We had a similar idea a few years ago when we set up the Snappygear branding. We got a local design house to come up with the goods as our scribbles around the idea was awful!!

Was this a business seller? Was the item a buy it now purchase? If so you are covered by distance selling. If not, simply open a case, it will take a little time, but you will get the refund once the lens has been returned to the seller. If you need any other help with regards to eBay, drop me...

Good PDF that! Saved and printed for reference. For smaller,more expensive items (over £200) Royal Mail are still pretty hard to beat! We recently received a letter to say the local sorting office were re-tweaking the business in line with increased parcels in the system. Rob

Will keep 'em peeled for you! Might be worth adding an email alert on ebay to let you know when 5d mk2's are listed. Rob

I'd go for the 17-85 IS too, if your budget is sub £200. However, they do tend to wear the inner flex quite regularly. Rob

If you sold the 500d, with your £850 on top, you'd get a spanking good condition 5D mk2, beautiful camera! Do it! You know you want to!

You say the images came out strange? In what way? Colours distorted? Under exposed?? Cheers Rob

I remember seeing someone on here did one a year or 2 back. Might be worth a search as I remember there was quite a few images from the thread.

Thanks guys, some really interesting stuff! Let's hope the next trip is a longer flight!! Rob

Cheers guys! I have an app that will let me store youtube vids offline so this will be very good fr watching on the plane...
