    Ebay, fees from 1st October

    I'd say they've changed their format to be more in line with Vinted I noticed a few months they were doing no fees on clothes sales which has got to be due to competition from Vinted

    Making your own bait.

    Solar S&O was one of the best flavours going. It had a high PH so was very different to most other flavours.
