The type of junk that is ruining this hobby.

It's why I've stopped collecting any modern stuff - these pirate issues for U21/U18 games, friendlies and European games are an absolute scam

The seller in Poland looks suspicious to me.

His history shows him selling 194 tickets in the past few weeks yet he's only had 1 (one) feedback logged from all of those sales

That is plainly a ...

I thought as well of Nick Harling who always used to pop up at various games all over the world when I was groundhopping/following England. Massive Palace fan but we had a bit of a falling out which w ...

One extra idea not mentioned above would be to incorporate a live auction into a fair. I was at Staceys's for part of the day yesterday and there was a good attendance in the room - perhaps combining ...

100% agree

I'm now selling rather than buying so everything I sell is packed as follows

- A4 or A5 board backed envelope
- One piece of cellotape to reinforce the seal
- The programme or ticke ...

I had a programme go missing in the post to one of my buyers - eBay processed a refund to the buyer and Royal Mail in turn refunded me based on my proof of posting.

It was only £6.49 but the syste ...

Starting from 15 April, Simple Delivery will be the only delivery method available for private sellers when listing most items. There’ll be a few exceptions, such as low-priced, bulky items, and loc ...

By the way I have a cover scan of QPR v West Ham 15 Jan 77 postponed which you don't seem to have - PM me your email address and I'll send it over - I can probably help with some of the wartime ones a ...

You could use the "Report buyer" button on all the listings in question but I doubt it would make much difference - his listings don't claim to be original programmes

He does sell some re ...

There were no games in the English Football League on Wednesday 5th April 1961

It was just after Easter so likely very few games were played even at non league levels in England as most teams would ...

For 1961 you should get all the info from the British Newspaper Archive. They charge about £8pm but you can cancel your subs once you get the detail you need

For 1965 there won't be anything as t ...

If you look at the Premier League handbook and press releases you'll see a requirement to have all clubs on digital ticketing for home and away fans from next year

It does still allow for printed t ...

Belated reply - West Ham also played at Clapton FC on 16th May 1951 - no logo on the cover but centre pages confirm it was played for the Festival of Britain fund

I'm selling it on eBay - offers cl ...

I've always drawn the line at differences in the front cover - anything internal I don't bother with different versions. Any difference in the cover then yes I'd want both versions

It is a very confusing system.

I have received positive feedback on some items but they all still show "awaiting delivery". Perhaps E Bay should consider releasing the funds when posit ...

Private sellers are still in a better position than before free listings were introduced last September.

Not really. eBay used to give you 100 listings every fortnight with an 80% fee reduction (so ...
