eBay Suspended & PayPal Limited Forums - UK ebay

I have a thread going elsewhere about my one and only sale for today today, from Italy, and it is having to get cancelled due to the ridiculous cost of shipping the bloomin' item over there.

Re: UK ebay - no sale today

I would not get too worked up just yet. It may be a couple weeks before things boil down and people get on with purchasing as normal but without any doubt, people will need and want things and buy soon no matter what the markets/exchange/shipping will be. Let's just hope it is sooner than later.

I think people are confused. Nothing has actually happened. We are still within the EU. Nothing is likely to happen until we get a new prime minister in 3 months.

I just think the last thing on people's minds right now is spending money with scaremongering financial articles all over the place.

Best thing the UK ever did. No more support for non productive countries like Greece etc...Some day they will all give in to the US dollar and give up on the (German) Eurodollar Ha!!!
USA means Superpower, live it...love it!

UK is about 1.5 trillion USD in debt? but is less than 1/40th the size of the USA. UK debt per capita seems to be twice the USA.

Just to keep things in perspective....

Whichever party gets in over here they just borrow more and spend more, hence the size of that UK debt.

Super political but if you mean the USA, you are referring to Barack Obama, yes. He threatened to place the UK on the back burner of all European Trade with the USA. But he does not represent the USA as a whole and arguably he is irrelevant to anything at all and certainly does not represent the majority of the USA in these statements.

Numbers are quite a bit off there

GDP
$17,947,000 - USA
$2,849,345 - UK

Government debt per capita
$55,630 - USA
$32,553 - UK

Let's not turn this thread in to a pissing contest between the UK and USA.

Re: UK ebay - no sale today

My figures are from 2015 tax year

The numbers are pretty similar to the numbers shown in your links though

Not really sure what your asking?

The number that was off was thinking that the UK was 1/40 the size of the US. The UK GDP is 1/7 of the USA

Also, the two debt numbers I was looking at were not comparable. The UK total debt per capita included all government debt and the USA one I supplied did not include state and local government. Not remotely comparable.

My bad :peace:

I have found others and to sum it up, but who cares. My point was both countries along with most other governments as a whole have massive debt and I did a terrible job expressing that. :)

There was a study one time that found that UK woman washed there hands the least of all people on the planet after a trip to the bathroom!

We still share a bath once a week in our house.

Man first, woman second, children last.
