Don't be fooled Eddie, that's Bessie "Big Thighs" Arkwright from Rochdale. She'll do most things for a curry role and chips. Chuck in a deep fried Mars Bar and she'll invite her sister as well.

Hi, I'm new on the forum. Is the fundraiser still running? How can we donate and what are the charities for this year? Thanks

LE : Never mind, I've found the other thread with the Virginmoney link in it

Eddie, how about a modest fee for the sales thread? Or maybe its been suggested?

After all, i'd say theres a far greater rate of success selling your watch on here than ebay and you dont pay the listing fee or the ebay AND Paypal commission fee.

I'd think something like a pound or two per listing would be i nice little charity earner running in the background and wouldn't upset any genuine member as they'd still be financially ahead of ebay on even a 30 quid sale.

That would be a service and thus probably subject to VAT and associated admin costs

Indeed it would, but would still be an earner for charity nonetheless.

70p out of every pound over 20 posts a day mounts up to over 5k a year and a lot of good things can still be done with 5k.

For every £1 raised via your suggestion, only 83p (after VAT) would be donated to charity - whereas for every £1 donated to the fundraiser a potential £1.25 goes to charity … a difference of 42p per £ donated. And you're not taking into account potential admin time and costs.
