Health problems, groans, moans and pick-me-ups

[littledelving]

Just to start this thread off. Among other more serious health issues, I have finally figured out (dogh) why my middle finger on the right hand is stiff, swollen and a painful. I have RSI from the mouse wheel. Has anyone else experienced this?
So I went on the 'Bay to find a bandage. Millions of listings. So I select UK only. That doesnt help because so many accounts have a UK base but the item comes from China or Hong Kong. The other frustrating thing is the way the prices vary. So a listing might say 0.99p to £17.99 and then you open the listing and find that the 0.99p is just a sample or something completely different to the advertised item. Very much hope eBid never goes that way. The 'Bay is now getting impossible to buy on as well as to sell on.

How true, how very true. It's reached the point where over there I switch to 'lowest price + post', then I skip all items that say a range of prices. So if there are any sellers who actually use that feature in a fair way, sadly I'll miss them. Tragedy of the commons.

Middle finger? Really? I would find that quite awkward, I've just tried it, doesn't work for me, I use my first finger. I guess you have an unusual mouse. Maybe you need to get a new mouse. Or try a trackball, though I can't say I like them much but I guess I'd give one a fuller try if I currently had RSI. Hope you're better soon, I know it can be painful.
