Yes, Scott and possibly others have gained,
and I will probably have lost some money but
as far as I'm concerned, in the UK is buying.

<tailed>

I feel I have not "gained". The buyers who use the service, at their choice,
to pay me may well have gained through lower transferral charges (although I
know this may not be the case). When I sell an item, I set a price. The
buyer must get that money to me using a method which is acceptable to me. I
do not see how I am gaining in any way. I'd appreciate some clarification on
this.

<and>
One last point - I'm a bit puzzled by Scott's comment
that

I'm sure matters have been made worse by the recent exchange rate
fluctuations. As a seller it is good news for me,

given that the usual complaint in the UK the last couple
of years is that the UK pound has been so strong that
it's really cheap for us to buy things abroad and
very hard for businesses to export anything. Scott?

It is because I deal in US$. Say I sell the 8880 at $160. A few months ago
this translated to UKP97, now it gives UKP103 (these are v. rough figures).

OK, since this discussion appears to be to some extent about me, I may as well make a rare excursion out of loc.uk :) Larry's factoring service is a great service, offered at an extremely good price (Larry seriously charges a fair bit less than I (...)
