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 ...

I sell on a two week cycle throughout the year so waiting 14 days for pay-outs isn't a huge issue

What I'm not clear on is how the 4% buyer fees will play out (everything I list is via auction). Al ...

Yes there was - I sold one on eBay last year for £99.99

If you PM me your email address I can send you a scan of the cover

One of the Holy Grail West Ham postponed issues. The £12 ...

Thanks Pete, yes that is missing!

Just looking at my 61/62 Forest v West Ham - not a valuable or rare programme but it has 12 unnumbered pages and there are no team line ups

Is it missing 4 centre pages?

Even more remarkable was that his professional career only started at age of 30 and he joined Manchester City when 32.

I can't think of any other player who started so late and won so much

RIP

I knew the guy that produced that (Gary) - it was sold at every game for a couple of years and he always explained to anyone who asked that it wasn't the official programme
