Simple Minds-Sons and fasicnation

I like this era of simple minds, the really driven bass sounds . this was the sound of them crossing from alternative to mainstream

Waterboys-the big music

Play.com.....Not the first time

After a break of about a year I have tried to get my online business's back up and running. A few years ago i had ebay, amazon and play.com all at the same time. How i managed it I never know. I decided last week to start a new play.com account, I listed my 100 adverts and thought I would wait until I get to twenty quis and then apply to become a pro trader(which means you can list unlimited ammounts). The plan is to pick up cheap bits and build it up and up. After a week it was going so well, 13 orders and a comined value of 55.00. I sat down this morning getting ready to send out the parcels, I log in and it has changed my email password combination, so I phone them up like you do. Oh yes, sorry Simon but because you have an old account, we have temp suspended your new account.Aparently I have to wait 24 hours to see if it will give me full access.

This is the case in point where I feel i must touch on, when people buy from sites like play.com they are taking risks in that you can pay for god within their syste but the have the power to stop a sellers account without any proper justification, like a buyer who is puttin his money in, the system can halt it. So the money remains in a limb state where you cant send the goods because you havnt recieved payment. I would ideally love to send the 13 or so parcels out, but what if the account is cancelled. They would of paid for goods, I will then have a legal duty to send them while someone else is sitting on the money.

ebay is similar to this and if anything has more rules to abide by. At one time I had an ebay account that was closed at the point where I had about 40 orders to complete, that was a nightmare. I imagine that the system can give people nightmares, Ive just learn to ride the waves and always be ready to justify or verify another change
