Info on the real Ampers


"Ampers" taken early in 2004.

Hi, My name is Andrew Taylor. I was born in 1939 and live in West Finchley, North London (UK).

Up to 1955 I lived in Stellenbosch, the heart of the Cape Winelands. We quite often go over there on holiday - I am a keen photographer and the winelands are really good photo material, and then there are the wine tastings in the late afternoons and the top quality restaurants (at cheap UK restaurant prices) in the evenings!

I am married to Pam who, like me, works from home - but in her case it is for a Management Consultant's company where all the staff and directors work from home and network physically once a fortnight from all over Southern England and teleconference once or twice each week.

We share our home with an angry cat. I try to show her just who is the alpha male but, I fear, in our house she is the alpha neutered female!

My eBaying is not a business as such. I am a semi-retired journalist and really enjoy buying and selling.

"Her Indoors" was a little unhappy at my buying all these men's toys but she seems a little happier now I buy second hand and sell second hand. Or third or fourth hand!

It's all good clean fun... isn't it? :-)

Oudtshoorn Game Park in the Western Cape - South Africa.

Now let's get down to businessPostage: Most of my items are by Recorded or Special Delivery depending on the value of the items. Sometimes I will agree to ordinary post but if so this is on the understanding that I am in no way responsible for non-delivery or theft from people within Royal Mail or elsewhere.

Returns: I will only accept returns if the item is not as I described it. With electrical and mechanical items where I have said they are in working order and you say they arrived not working, I will accept returns but only if the AlphaSpot (a security device the size of a pin point) is still where I hid it. Alas I have to do this as someone once tried to say that an item I know was working arrived faulty and, when they returned it, I was certain it was not the item I sent in the first instance! One lives and learns. Returns have to be made within seven days at your expense.

If you are buying from me, I will use PayPal's tracking page (within their packing slip section) to have an e-mail sent to you when I have received your payment. This e-mail from PayPal will have the tracking number and the mode (i.e. Recorded or Special Delivery etc). I will have the system send you another as soon as I have posted it.

Feedback: My policy when selling is to give feedback immediately I receive payment. When buying I expect you to give me feedback when I pay, and I will give you feedback within 24 hours of receipt of goods. If you refuse to do this and insist on receiving feedback first, that's fine, I will leave you feedback when I have spent 60 days living with the goods. This way I can use this as an excuse to thoroughly test the purchase. It is up to you to decide what is best for you.

Although I don't take part in the practice, there are those who list eBay names of people who don't give feedback in an Internet forum. Which is why I leave feedback immediately on receipt of payment! :-)

When I am buying, I will pay via PayPal as soon as I receive notification in my e-mail in tray. I would hope this might result in instant feedback but do realise that not everyone wants to play by my rules :-) I would hope the seller might e-mail me at the time of despatch but, once again, not everyone is as efficient as me - but I do live in hope! I will e-mail the seller as soon as I receive the item. I will also leave feedback either at that time or, if the goods need to be checked, later. If the goods need to be checked, I will do all possible checking within twenty-four hours.

I look forward to doing business with you and hope I haven't scared you off with too may "rules" but they aren't cast in stone.

Andrew "Ampers" Taylor
