As you wish, but the point is it is a barrier to trade, it puts people off. Well it has put me off.
Chapaking, will do – “Shane it’s still a PITA for the shop to resolve though.” is ebays fault right, I can see there is a difference between what ebay calls buy it now and add to your basket, but there are plenty of ecommerce websites selling all kinds of goods with a “buy” button.
Being used to consumer law etc, you just expect “buy” to mean add to your basket, its not bought until you pay. As a user it felt like a scam to me, hence the initial question. I was like hang on, I added this to my basket now they are making out I have broken a contract. This is all based on mine (and most other peoples) absent usage of the net, ie not reading t&cs etc.
