AY Mod

Thanks to you all for coming to Doncaster and devoting the time to do the features. Good luck at Derby!

Not at the start of the range I believe; one of the important stages to go through is ensuring each product meets EU Toy Safety Directives so the range will build over time based on demand.

I thought I'd grab a pic of Celebration Thomas from the US site... In the finest social media tradition I should have then asked who else was dressing up for the party.

That should be fixed now.

Although I've indulged with some bookcase weights it's worth pointing out that 30% of what has been listed in the Classifieds to date has sold.

Another benefit for Gold users is that they can use the Classifieds to link to their eBay sales thus promoting them to a different audience.

Which would require RMweb to be a transaction platform to accept payments but due to it's complexities cannot be integrated with company payment systems. It would also be an additional workload for me to administrate. Patterns are emerging that it is an effective selling platform and if you sell over £50 of items a month you would have saved the eBay fees plus get the other benefits.

There is, as per my previous post.

No-one's been discussing cardboard scenery and rubbish monsters in the Gold Lounge. Or much else yet.

It should now be fixed from non-https links anyway.
