now i'm getting worried with every email i get from ebay, will it be another 'ghost' email?

do they include subliminal messages.....dave, buy more carp, go on, you need more carp....

does ebay have a policy to pay for sellers physiatric treatment?

Got another one today,

"FOMO alert ... Hip hip hooray - it's Sunday today!"

very nice title but c'mon Ebay, put a message in the Email for crying out loud!

BTW, i knew it was sunday as yesterday was saturday. gee i'm clever.

David, I got the email too and it's full of offers. Are you clicking on "Download Pictures" at the very top of the email?

[davidc4430]

maybe its because my email is old, i'm using windows mail that came with windows vista pro my operating system.

but i get lots of other messages/emails from ebay with daily, weekly offers that work fine.

there is no 'download pictures'

i do get a bar across the top of some messages saying pictures have been blocked with a button to show pictures which works but this message doesnt have that and its not even showing the printed words without pictures. its just a blank message page.

Think it's time for an update.

It's so annoying isn't it. I have an Asus laptop with Windows 10 which I love. But I can no longer receive Microsoft updates because Asus have ceased updates for my driver. So I will be left behind and will have to buy a new computer. They've got it all sewn up, one way or another we have to give them our money to keep up.

[davidc4430]

yes, a new computer is in my future but its that whole having to learn a whole lot of new stuff to do what you did before i hate.

when i moved from whatever it was before i had vista to vista it took ages to figure out what was where.

ive nearly got it figured out now lol

i really dont like windows 10 much, have that on my laptop, only use it in emergencies.

i'm hoping this clunker will be ok until whatever comes after 10 so i dont have to learn 2 new systems.
