Thanks for all that. It might still be difficult to write a description, but I can muddle through now.
The dog is Milo, and he just had his ninth birthday last week. He's a lovely little fella but...

A new theory we have just come up with is that you use the spark thing to light a candle, then you can carry this around the house lighting the other candles, and it lights your way. Does that sound...

Thanks for your reply. It's stamped on one side made in Italy, so not trench art. Also the flint mechanism works and gives a good spark, so I don't think it will be for matches.

This is a flintlock type pistol thingy, with a candle holder on one side. There is a small opening box in front of the spark mechanism, I assume for tinder. But I have no idea what to call it, or how...

I decided to try Spybot, having used it a few years ago. It's installed okay and seems to be working fine.
I try to be careful, as my comp was hacked into a couple of years ago. It was so full of...

Used to use AVG, and I tried Zone Alarm for a while. They both gave me problems eventually, conflicting with other programmes. Tried Zone Alarm recently and it won't install, but I might try AVG...

I'll look up windows defender. I have lots of problems trying to install files.
Need a new system, but money is too tight to buy one.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I've been browsing around looking for a good free spyware download, since my free one is now trying to charge £3 a month.
Anyone any recommendations?
I installed Ad-aware okay, but it wouldn't...

It worked after an hour or so later. Must have been a glitch with the site. It did say welcome to ebid test site when I opened my browser.
So finally managed, but thanks for the help.

I went to list an item for sale, and for the first time ever was asked to login first, although I was already logged in.
I got this annoying pop up to type in my username and password. It would not...

Well over here near the West Yorkshire border it's been stuck on the ground for two days. Can't hardly get out coz it keeps freezing and the gritters don't come round here any more. Even our main...

My Cocker won't touch the dried food. He varies between cans and fresh meat. He's partial to braised liver, which I cook at the same time I cook our meals, but only in water, no gravy. Or chicken can...

I use Loquax too, and Prizefinder.com.
The only snag I've found is a substantial increase in spam mail, and I always make sure to tick any boxes stating I don't want promotional emails.

I've been doing free competitions for years, and I have had some great stuff for free.
I've had two big televisions, a car from the Daily Record a couple of years ago.
Once a few weeks before...

Her broadband seems pretty reliable, it's just the email that's not getting through.

Yes that's who she's with. I dumped them years ago, well they sort of dumped me without notice. Said I was using the unlimited service too much. I've been on cable since, but there isn't cable where...

Hope someone might be able to help. Does anyone use Orange/Freeserve broadband, and are there any current issues with email?
I'm asking for my daughter who sadly uses them, and she hasn't had a...

Well having tried AVG again, it refused to install. I tried the Avira Premium. It accepted my code no problem, but I just could not work out how to install. The manual was a PDF that didn't open, so...

I've just downloaded the avg, but now it won't finish the installation.
I'll have to try something else.

Thanks, I'll give it a try tonight.
I'll dump the PC Guard, and get AVG back.

I used to have AVG, but when it stopped updating I had to replace it.
Had no cash at the time, so went for the free PC Guard.
I have a code for Avira 12 month subs that I won in a competition, but...

Are there any NTL or Virgin users who know anything about PC Guard security?
I have the free version. Then last week I got an update, and now I have a spyware scanner running every couple of hours....

You're lucky, they won't let me close mine!
Been requesting it for three weeks now, and I just can't get a response. I haven't used the account for over a year. I know they are probably desperate to...

Just answered your mail. Sorry I had to go off to Asda and only just got in. I'll get in touch with support and try to sort it.

I had some items finish about an hour ago. One sold but stayed in my items with bids for a while. Now it's moved to sold items and listed three times, all to same buyer. I've checked my fees and been...

Wooh!! I've been on the Radio Times website tonight, and there was a E-Bid banner ad on almost every page I visitied.


E-Bid the best alternative to Ebay.


Soon to be much better. (Added that...

I have now listed these mystery items, and hope to get a bid. Thanks for all the varied opinions as to their use. I hope they will please someone somewhere.

I've been having the same problem trying to list crochet mats. They aren't antiques, but they are vintage items. They would probably fit better in a linen category, or put linen as a sub cat in home...
