    Fuel costs for towing?

    80 miles @ 20mpg with diesel at £6.13 per gallon = £24.52 But 20mpg towing is optimistic I would be expect the fuel bill (as per ROG's method of fill to fill) to be £40 / £45 and, of course, your friend shouldn't be buying her own lunch that day! For those so inclined, it would be interesting...

    eBay sellers 'making money off postage'

    Maybe what has happened is that OP has bought two dresses that were listed separately with £6 each postage and, in buying two, expected to benefit from the seller combining the two purchases into one parcel for delivery.

I read something somewhere on another forum about the cover applying to a trailer he was towing with a hire car. I don't have the documents to hand just now and the nearest I can find on the website is...

    Not as advertised

    OK, so the seller is a dealer, that puts things more in your favour. She is expected to have more expertise than you and the onus is more on her to be accurate and complete with the description etc. You should certainly be phoning or visiting to encourage her to make good on her offer to have...

    Not as advertised

    can you prove - to the standards required by a court - that the horse is mis described if not, don't waste your time / money with the court route your best option is to try to get the seller to take him back as she already offered to do given that she offered, threatening with court at this...
