That made me laugh!! Your not alone!!

I was outbid again!!! going to just buy one from e-bay. Thanks for the link. I can never get a bargain?!?!?!

If you're going for a new one I'd go with Zooplus rather than eBay!

At least you know Zooplus are reputable......

They give a discount for your first order and free p&p for orders over £19 so it won't be difficult to add something else onto the order if you only want the one house as they sell so much and for so many different animals.

We always recommend them for the external filters for turtles.

I think ive used zooplus before in the past, recommend them as well, but also theres an addiction with ebay! The excitement of bidding, not had a problem with orders from there so far, ive bought lots of stuff for all my animals from there aswell as internet pet stores. Ive got the new hutch coming from ebay so see if thats all as it should be, its brand new so should be, the 2nd hand one im bidding on i wont pay no more than 15 for it just seeing what happens with that, if not ill buy another new one......god if i added up all the money ive spent on my tortoises, bird and dog ive have a heartattack for sure, but thats what i spend most of my money on, i dont spend half as much on myself, i even get a mate to cut my hair as i wont spend money on hairdressers! But no expense spared when it comes to my animals......screw loose.....definately lol x

I tend to agree with you!

However, when you're a seller and you get people leaving 1s and 2s for fun, claiming the items not been received even when you have sent it Recorded Delivery and have a signature as well it does put you off.

Also buying isn't always as straightforward when you buy something that has bits missing etc, is dirty or broken when you're told its in excellent condition or even new - at least if you buy from a "legit company" you have a much better follow up service, although granted not as exciting as bidding.

Yeh i agree with you there as well, it can be dodgy as anyone can sell anything and either claim its authentic or excellent condiotn only to receive a dud or damaged item, ive been lucky i suppose so far but theres time yet! Delivery for hutch is today between 10 -12 today, good job im at home, hope its what description is.....ill let you know x

[Catwoman63]

Delivery stated today between 10 - 12 it was delivered at 11.10 and it took 15 mins to fix together, brilliant, was outbid on the 2nd hand one, which has worked in my favour coz i will definately buy another one from this seller again. Was delivered when said it was going to be delivered and it had complete screws and extras as well, easy to assemble, im well chuffed x
