That’s great thanks! Once you had the basics did you get someone to look at your ‘situation’ and give some advice?

Any recommendations to get basic financial literacy? Absolute beginner and a bit risk adverse. Is an ISA with an index long term the right thing? Apologies if this is a bit of a thread derailer 🫣

Really hope it works. If it does, please let me know, I might replicate the method in E10 to see if there is any luck (pretty fed up of big car small dick attitude at the moment)

Yes, when we did windows and doors only a deposit was required. And it was only the guarantee that was withheld until total payment. Pretty much the opposite case

I should have mentioned it, to be fair 9/10 buyers either checked or covered the fees themselves. As a seller I would never ask anyone to choose F&F, it is their choice to make. As a buyer I would never pass on the G&S fees without a conversation. I always thought that was the etiquette.

Anyway one to remember for the future. Always clarify whether fees are included or not.

Thanks @AlexD and @coventry_eagle

Thanks @amey Makes sense, that was also my impression. In this case I was on the other side, as a seller. My prices were quite reasonable and already included postage (over a third of the item’s total value). Unfortunately I just had an ‘established forum user’ push his PayPal fees to my side. Didn’t even ask… it is not really about the money, just hate pushy people

What is the latest on PayPal fees etiquette?

I have tried to prioritise those that got in touch first, will contact in order if I don't hear back from the first person by tomorrow

Is that E10? We got some great examples of rule bending round the corner 🫣

😂 @ChainBreaker is the Mary Beard of the watch thread. P.S: worth a listen for those interested in how the ‘classics’ are (mis)used in contemporary culture https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/intelligence-squared/id708371900?i=1000604683148

We were told that we were being extra for expecting a weekly update from a local independent estate agent changing top £. Only after going full Karen they started getting stuff done promptly. They then went full friendly, gave us direct line to the office director, but still expected to be patted on the back for doing their job. Said director asked to be taken for a pint after deal was done 😂 he is still waiting

@ExTra sorry to hear that. Hope you get the report soon but don’t expect too much. They are all quite copy and pasty

@Howard not all are horrible, we had a great local surveyor that seriously surpassed all expectations (and got recomended to friends, family and fellow Lffgs’ers)

@aethos lovely bike, out of curiosity what is your endurance bike like?

…

Discounts are not litigations, just conversations about value and quality of service. We might disagree due to past experiences (it seems you have had difficult encounters with surveyors and discounts in the property world before) and that’s fine. OP is free to take any, some or none of the advice.

Fair point. However size of operation doesn’t really justify lack of communication. Explaining the delay is easy and quick and would have probably put @ExTra ‘s mind at ease. I still think is worth asking for a discount if you don’t hear back early next week

Ask for a discount for the delay, request complaint form as it is black and white in the T&C’s and leave a serious review in their social media, facebook or Google page… that usually focuses minds and gets the results, just be ready to be less polite than usual

Do you make a similar comment to anyone from Romania?

😂 Mine is a sample of 2

@Alanbt glad it went well, enjoy it. IMO Dutch (and Belgian) sellers are usually extremely nice people.

Morden is pretty nice, good schools and close to lots of lovely green spaces. I will definitely make an effort to make sure it sells for a good price

@ReekBlefs That seems quite expensive, if you are in East London I could recommend a surveyor that friends, family and fellow Lfgss’ers have successfully used for way less
