Even though my elderly aged 70+ parents have not one but 2 computers, they feign all knowledfge of the net when they want something selling on Ebay. A fortnight ago my dad decided to rid himself of his digital camera in favour of a more expensive one. Guess who had to do the advert for the old camera - yes me! Ok it is not so difficult, that is until I logged on and saw there were 27 questions from potential buyers aarrhhhhh! Anyway the camera sold and my dad got his money after I had got a few grey hairs.
Today he asked me to put a lens for a digital camera on the Ebay site and now I am amazed to see that after only 2 hours on there it already has 3 people "watching" it. I do hope this won't mean another barrage of questions I cannot answer!
Meanwhile dad rings up on his mobile from the pub to ask "how do I retract a bid" God give me strength - turns out he has bid on something that maybe of no use to him.......to be continued
