    Ebay/Paypal: What in the ******* world is eCheque??

    This is totally another paypal scam, isn't it? Ok back story: I bought something on ebay, I was excited like ****, right up till I went to check out. Now, this has NEVER happened to me before, but I was told that I COULDN'T pay with the instant bank transfer I normally use, but instead I had...

    Worried about my Ebay purchase!

    Maybe they don't have internet in Ireland. In my humble, honest opinion, I think you sound rather demanding. Essentially, you have come onto a public forum, without waiting a reasonable amount of time PLUS the fact that YOU held off on your end of the deal, and called him a scammer. You...

    7dayshop.. Crap customer service.. avoid tbh

    I don't quite understand why people are being so self-righteous about it. Sure, most of the time everything arrives with no problems, but there are occasions when it doesn't, and in those occasions their customer service is really nothing to boast about! I had a particular problem with one of my...

    70-200mm help please!

    actually, the extra stop also does wonders for bokeh so theres that too i think. anyway, the 70-200mm is about 1.3kg if i'm not wrong. I've carried the 70-200mm 2.8 IS for a whole day, and that’s 1.5kg or slightly more, and while i had no problems during the day, the next day was spent...

    70-200mm help please!

    Cool. Thanks david, the weight IS indeed one thing that concerns me, as I do think I might use the f/4 more than just for sports if I can bring it around easier. I take yours, and packhams point about quality as well. I think its undeniable that Canon L will always be more than third party...
