Agreed. They also think that OCAU deserves lower prices because it's supposedly not a pain like eBay or anything, but it really is.

The worst part is there's no system, and the low-balling is horrendous. Even with eBay fees you'd do better than at there.

What a exciting day :rolleyes:

TPG charged our account and then decided it wanted to suspend our account an hour ago. Rang TPG and billing is closed, spoke to tech support with a american girl with a bad attitude problem who could only say "Huh". Spoke to the supervisor who said its a glitch and he to speak to a senior tech who have given us a "test" account to use until the problem is fixed (Unlimited downloads and speed is 8000/512 instead of 1500/256)

Wonder if they will let me keep this account ;)

TPG are pretty well-known for all sorts of stuff like that.

I think you'll find it's an imaginary line called the international dateline.

How does that make it come in to Melbourne then go to Sydney? That's where its date is? I'm not paying for it to go out on the town!

Well either its having a look at the sights or its in a customs clearing facility being checked for illegal substances or materials.

Doubt it needs to go to Sydney for that - we're in Melbourne, not back in the dark ages of Perth!

That middle bit is the package processing. It physically isn't at Melbourne till it says "arrival scan" at Ascot Vale

Righty. So "ASCOT VALE, VIC, AU" is a virtual location, not an actual one? Weird.
