I list everything as BIN. I sold about £400 worth this weekend and wasn't charged a penny in fees.
As I see it, for private sellers you'll only be charged fees on motor vehicles.
For sellers it's a great move but I don't get how they can just dump a multi-million pound revenue stream just to 'compete' with far smaller competitors...

Restaurants with menus and/or opening times on Instagram that differ from actual restaurant menus and/or opening times.

Should I complain/send pics mentioning its been reconditioned (not included in description) and mentioning the rounded out bolts or am I being a touch sensitive?

If you really wanted to return it, you'd have no problem getting your money back based on the condition of the bolts. You need to decide if it's worth it though. If it was described as 'used' and this is the only issue and you didn't pay over the odds, you may be better off just keeping it.
Can the bolts be removed and replaced for decent ones?
If you're definitely going to need to get in there and the bolts are stuck fast, it may be better to return it and wait for another to turn up.
It's your call but I wouldn't say you're being sensitive.

Probably showing my age here but I find pretty much 99% of all modern 'comedians' woefully unfunny to the point that they just really annoy me.
In the last 10 years or so the only comedian that has actually had me in physical pain due to laughing so hysterically is Stewart Lee.
Seen him live a bunch of times. Maybe he's ruined comedy for me...
Prior to him, I really enjoyed most of the Chris Morris stuff and The Mighty Boosh but little else for many years.
Otherwise, I kind of feel like the Comic Strip crew and Monty Python crew were some of the last bastions of decent Britsh comedy.

If it's worth the leg work you could go through the process described in bigshape's link and ask the DO to confirm in writing that the delivery addresses don't match.
Although, if your local DO is anything like mine they'll be as unhelpful as possible just to get rid of you. Or they'll tell you to call the customer help line and then you'll definitely give up.

Why does this show as being dispatched 5 days AFTER they were delivered?....

Until you have the physical item in your possession you won't be able to claim it's fake.
Also, you won't be able to open a return request until the 'item not received' case is closed.
Therefore, first action is to receive the item by whatever means necessary. If the PO can't deliver for any reason, they should hold it for you for a couple of weeks.
You then collect from your local delivery office. Once the PO system has updated to show the item delivered / collected, the case will close automatically; or you can do it yourself.
Once you have the item, if it is indeed fake, open a new case / return stating you suspect item is counterfeit.
As long as you do things in the right order you should be fine.

You could take your chances and ask the buyer to take them to a bike shop to confirm if they’re cracked (even though they likely aren’t) which might discourage him from taking it further.
Otherwise you’ll have to just ask him to return them to you for a refund. Which he may also see as too much bother but worth a try…

Yeah looks very much like a scratch to me and not something I’d be refunding for…

Agreed. Impossible to open without spraying a small amount of milk across the kitchen.
Also, the lid is still plastic. Surely it's better to have a lid that can be removed so it can be recycled separately from the 'mostly cardboard' tetrapak?...

Just beware (if you're not already) that the 80% off fees only applies if the item sells within the first 30 days.
After that, the fees revert to standard.
Unless you have hundreds of items, as annoying as it is, you can just end listing / re-list every time there's an offer...

imbalances in strength and body position, notably hip tilt, shoulder drop, glute and calf over/under inactivity.

Another vote for @scherrit here. Most of the fit time is spent off the bike.
For what it's worth, I realised I also suffer from the same traits as you mention. Apparently it's very common; especially in people (such as myself) who spent several years sitting at a desk and not exercising!!
Although Scherrit recognised my imbalance, it didn't affect the bike fit; but did affect my efficiency on the bike as every time I pushed on my right pedal, my body would lunge forward slightly rather than transferring the effort through the drivetrain.
Scherrit spotted this (before I'd even sat on the bike) and referred me to a well respected physio; in Wales as it happens.
One session with her and I started a long road to recovery. Basically she gave me specific exercises to do every day for life. I'll probably never be perfectly balanced as no one is 100% but I'm much better than I was and don't injure myself now if I overdo it ;-)

This guy's in my (very small, and very local) club!! Shocked to say the least. You never really know someone etc.

does this constitute a close pass though as i was in my lane and they were in theirs,

Lanes is irrelevant. They should still give you 1.5 Metres.
Unfortunately most drivers seem to think that 'i was in my lane and they were in theirs' is the correct behaviour. I believe this is why Chris Boardman petitions against this type of lane.

Moved to evilbay.

Selling for a friend, done one season at the velodrome from new. Near perfect condition.

DT Swiss T1800 Track Clincher Wheels with Vittoria Pista 23c Tyres (and tubes)
Lock ring included; no cogs.

Collection only from Bristol

£350 firm.

I thought the lower you are the more pressure your hands get?

Not necessarily. Hard to know without knowing all the details but it's like this:
Let's assume they are adequately balanced above the bottom bracket and the saddle position remains the same; moving the hands down or further away from the centre of gravity forces the core and / or pedals to support more of the upper body weight; thus relieving hand pressure.

maybe it's not an issue

I don't think it would be in the real world.
I live in Bristol so pretty much all my rides are hilly.
When I was young I had a Rourke with 10 gears and a freewheel. Now I'm old I have 1 fixed gear. Routes are all the same; no faster, no slower. (Shit fixie skidders say?)
So yeah, echo what @spinnnout says...

If your not averse to supplementing via a tablet form, Vegan Vitality do a daily multivit with B12, D3, Iodine and a ton of other essentials in...

functionally it's pretty flawed for more hilly riding

How so?

I’ve had loads since March. In fact, just ended / relisted a few items this morning as I had another 70% of deal until Monday…

Yeah, not really the right forum for this but out of interest, are you trying to sell it for more money than it cost to build?

Not really; they're also not repairable with patch kits.
I run latex but carry 2 spare regular tubes and a speed patch kit.
Luckily I've only had one puncture in 9 years but if I did puncture, I wouldn't really want to be pissing about with patches at the side of the road; especially in rain / cold etc.

Although, unless your seat tube angle is REALLY slack, why is the saddle so far forward?
It also appears to be sloping down at the front.
Having all your weight front loaded would explain the wrist niggle.
Saddle further back and level with a shorter stem would probably be a better solution IMO....
