A word of caution here for people paying through Paypal.. My daughter
lost Â500 last year. She bought tickets for the Reading Festival through
e-bay, and paid through Paypal after the box-office had sold them, but
before they had printed or distributed them. By e-bay rules she had to
pay immediately. She waited until the tickets had been distributed
(which was much later this year than previously) but when hers were not
sent on to her she tried to contact the parties concerned. The person
selling had, by then, disappeared. Both E-bay and Paypal refused to get
involved because it was too long after the transaction. The matter was
referred to the police, who seem to have done SFA about it, even though
the "seller" could be traced via his ISP.
Of course, I'm not suggesting that any of the QL traders are anything
other than 110% trustworthy, but domestic consumer protection law just
does not apply, and I, personally would not use them until they improve
in that respect. (In fact I was considering starting a pressure group to
try to encourage a boycott to force them to change their policy - but
life's too short...)
