    I steer clear of eBay - too many chancers!!

    I would, however, recommend Amazon. A couple of weeks ago, I bought the boy a new charger for his laptop - £14 and a few pence. It said delivery in 2-3 working days but was available on Amazon Prime. I ordered it at tea time on the Saturday and arrived at noon on the Sunday. Fantastic service! Did it work? Yes, very well indeed! In fact, it's better built than the one that came with his laptop - a mid-range Asus no less - as the original one had slide-on eletric socket pins (it was two thin pins that you slide the plug "head" on to and it clips in place but always felt flimsy) as the replacement was a solid, one piece construction with no need to clip anything else on! Less than £15 well spent (I already have Amazon Prime). To put this in to perspective, my old replacement Dell charger cost me £65. Well done, Amazon! And your marketplace sellers!

    Many sellers appear on both. One company had a laser I was looking at on both, and it was £10 cheaper on Amazon!

    See? There's your proof! Amazon rules!!

    Unless, of course, you really take offence at their tax situation and would much prefer to pay lots more of your hard-earned cash just so they can pay more UK tax!

    Yes spot on with that comment.

    Its a funny one this--a rather high minded neighbour scoffed at me using Amazon sniffing---we dont support tax avoiders--

    Hmm the problem is they probably use Google, drink at Starbucks and use ebay (these are named on the Internet as main offenders as well as Amazon)

    One nil to Dazzy. First charger arrived, seems very good. Second one? It's for the older model 930 despite me specifying 950 when I ordered it. Ah well, third time lucky?
