Title: E-Bay Changes !
Post by: Robin_Holden on March 28, 2010, 08:14:13 AM
Greetings all. Can anyone help please ?

Just got back home to S.W.France from a two week trip back to Britain. Switched on my computer to do my ritual trawl through the engines for sale.

E-Bay seem to have changed [ again ! ] their listings.

I just can't locate the 'engines' section without having to wade through zillions of electric motors !

Has anyone else noticed this change ? Anyone got a 'formula' for getting through to the 'engines' section ?

Any help would be much appreciated ,

Robin.

Robin,   I've just had a look on Ebay UK, under model aircraft engines with no problems!  ;D Where were you in Britain? My lady and I are thinking of jumping on a ferry for a run-a-round in France soon, (before the passport runs out!) fed up with England at the mo.!!!  ???

Cheers   Neville

Neville , good morning from a sunny Charente.

There's no problem with E-Bay U.K.

It's E-Bay.com in the U.S of A that has changed the designations. It's dead easy to access the U.K site as normal.

We were all over the UK going from London , up to Yorkshire where we lived up to leaving the UK in '97. Went to Cleveleys on the Fylde coast for a night with friends and the fish n'chips !!

Not been back for many years. Very expensive , especially to eat out !!

Motorways were a nightmare for an old sod like me. Too many 'cones' everwhere.

Robin.

It's the people listing the motors under engines.  Same with engines under motors.  Some people can't tell the difference. S?P H^^

To be totally pedantic! should it not be, "model aeroplane engines"? S?P I see the US spellcheck doesn't like the word "aeroplane"!  ;D
Robin, I though all of the euro zone was expensive compared to the pound? When I was in Dublin in October a pint of Guinness was the equivalent of about £5.50!! OUTRAGEOUS! mw~
