But the likes of ECP are basically a warehouse with a counter. And
usually busy. And given Ebay sales include free delivery, I'd love to
see a true breakdown of costs.


This morning I attempted to buy directly from the Saxton Blades web
site. I had problems with their checkout as it failed to accept any of
my email addresses and wouldn't let me proceed without an email address
it would recognise (this was not shopping as a "guest" customer and not
as registered account customer). I gave up and decided to see what I
could find on Ebay. Same item from the Saxton Ebay shop and cheaper
without the hassle of filling in their USA orientated point of sales
software questions/details.

I've met this with a US based website. Can't cope with .uk in an email
address. Probably with .anywhere too.
