Chur bro, I hear you and agree. Risk aversion runs rampant through here . and common sense seems to take a back seat when the wowsers start to throw all sorts of scary arsed scenario's around - gawd. I do heaps of different things because I know that I ain't delivering babies, performing open heart surgery or sending someone to the moon. I look at pimply arsed apprentices and knarly old mechanics and tell myself - 'Frick - if they can do it - so can I'

Splinter-Just to explain mon. THAT is the line TM won't allow us to cross. We can offer advise on here but aren't allowed to actually physically help. I'm not saying this to rark you up because I fairly famously got in a whole heap of trouble a couple of years back. The situation was that a ladies lil kid spilled a whole bottle of choc milk into the back seat of her car. I offered to wash the seat with my cleaning machine.TM were told and I got in a heap of trouble. Keep in mind I'm not a car groomer so had no possible gain by helping her out. The TM argument is that its to protect their buisiness.But what the person who informed TM had to gain I can't fathom.

Still not legit. You can't reference your own auctions as well it's advertising / self promotion

The easy way to get round that kazz is to start an auction for the person you want to help then tm make their money out of it and they are happy its a pity that this has to happen when some of us would go and help others just to be helpful oh well the christmas grinches win again
