Dear CEO - Chairman - Director......

[safetyian]

Who, from the CEO downwards can honestly assure me that this buying and selling facility is not secretively, furtively or clandestinely owned or controlled by *bay.co.uk?

Will I get a warning email if, in answer to a maiden's cry concerning how well her shapely form will fit into a pair of coveralls, I include a phone number within the reply....? Does that really constitute "selling outside of *bay.co.uk"

I meant to ask this in my original post....
Who started first? Ebid or Ebay...? Just curious, you understand!

Depends what you mean by 'come to the UK'. They registered the ebay.co.uk domain in 14-Sep-1998.
