Can anyone recommend a decent budget Ultrasonic cleaner for RC and 00 gauge train parts. I have no knowledge about them. Thanks.

New Ebay payment confusion. Help Please.
I was informed by Ebay recently that they are stopping using PayPal as a means of receiving payment if you sell on there. They said this would mean they would be dealing with all transactions themselves and I pay a one off payment per transaction, which "most sellers will pay the same or less than before". I've just sold an RC for £120 with free delivery. Ebay have taken £15.66 for their fees. Now correct me if I'm wrong but that seems a bit excessive to me. If the payment had gone through PayPal then their fee would have been £3.78 on the £120, and I'm sure Ebay wouldn't have taken another £11.88 for their fees. Am i missing something or are they blatantly ripping me off. I knew where I was with PayPal and the money was instantly in my account as soon as the buyer paid. Now it seems I have to wait a few days. I'm not happy about this. Why oh why do companies have to change a well tried and tested successful way of doing business. OK rant over. Any advice would be welcome. Yes I know. "Stop selling on Ebay" hahaha 😂😂😂

@DogBone That's extremely useful. Thank you very much 🙂👍

Turok, they had to levy a fee on postage as the Chinese started taking advantage....so if an item was £51...they would List the items for 99p...with £50 postage... Thus avoiding fees altogether....
They could of just capped postage really... But guessed they then reversed the taking advantage scenario.
As guns said, I try sell when it's £1 max fee listings now...
I still pay £50 a month in fees.... But heck, its better than paying the £500 I once was🤣

Has anyone bought from Make-It-Build-it recently. I ordered some parts that were "in stock" on Saturday and my order is still showing as "Being Processed" in my account this morning. I've emailed them but had no reply. The irritating thing is I received am email from Modelsport the next day notifying me the same items were back in stock, and I always prefer to buy from them because I receive my orders within one or two days, regardless of the pandemic.

Thanks for all your replies. Unfortunately they confirm my initial suspicions. They did get back to me via email this afternoon and this is what they said :-
"Hi Derek,
Just looked into this for you.
It looks like this should have left us this week but we had a stock discrepancy on the Fenders, I do apologise as you should had received an update regarding this and this it looks like this wasn't sent.
We have more stock due to arrive with us next week and we'll aim to get this dispatched as soon as available to send.
Apologies for the inconvenience, please let me know if I can help with anything else.
Kind Regards
Emma
Make It Build It"
So it sounds like the same thing has happened to me too. I ordered some Sendero inner fenders from them because they were the only place that showed them "in stock" at the time 😄
I don't know if I should buy another set from Modelsport and if I do get the ones from MIBI I can sell them on or wait and see what happens next week.
One thing I am certain about is I won't be using them again.

A warning to anyone interested in this Tamiya Booming on Ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-Boomerang-with-Box-shelf-queen-Vintage-Re-Release/163273819483
I bought and paid £80 for this in July via another forum and never received it, or got any replies to any of my messages or emails to the seller. I know that this is the actual Boomerang that I bought because he is selling a Hotshot as well which was also on the same sales thread with the same photos of both RC's. Unfortunately I paid by pp gift. Lesson learnt. The seller has been banned from the site because of this. He was on there under the name of "Bails" I have since found out he has had several ebay ID's and lots of negative feedback, eg "item not received" and "doesn't answer emails", and then closed his account only to reappear months later under a different but similar ID.
I apologise if this post breaks any rules and please remove it if it does.
