Thanks sportandplay.

Yes, I am about to open a store (basic). Have been holding off as I thought a credit card was a prerequisite (and I dont do credit cards anymore) but (surprisingly) I read recently, in this forum I think, that I could use a debit card to register........ as I thought I couldnt and that a credit card was the only way.

My monthly accounts are and always have been deducted from my PayPal account.

As my sales have been increasing steadily over the last year or so, the 40 free listings (and one FREE 200 lists kindly posted in this forum) are soon used up and then the real cost of relisting 60-80 every 10 days is, of course,  not kind to my profit margins.

The search results do not surprise me........been disappointed, as are a lot of others, since it started giving results as you posted. Just putting up with it at the moment and hoping things might improve. Fortunately, about 50% of my sales are returning clients so that certainly helps.

Incidently, very interested (and concerned) you found those odd prices when you did a search. Could you advise where or what and I will rectify ASAP (I couldn't find them)

Thanks for assistance all.
