    Another Ebay Scam Avoidance Thread...

    Just cancel their bid and block the buyer - https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/listings/cancelling-bid?id=4140 I'd also stick something in the description that informs potential bidders than any bids from zero feedback accounts will be cancelled.

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    2 year swap rates have been reasonably stable at around 4.5% since the beginning of November - https://uk.investing.com/rates-bonds/gbp-2-years-irs-interest-rate-swap Be wary of fixing at higher than that unless you really value the security. Chances are most fix rate deals will drop to around...

    Dulux Trade vs Retail

    Bit odd that he didn't check the price beforehand. Thought it was well known that Trade and Retail paints differ in quality? I've used quite a few different paints in the past, but I always get good results with Dulux Trade stuff. Have succumbed to the temptation of getting cheaper stuff a few...

    Ram overclocking on B350F Motherboard.

    I've got the same 3700X & B350F Strix. The Hynix ram is your problem. I could never get Corsair LPX 3200 Hynix to play nicely above 3200mhz. Now I'm running 3200mhz 8pack B die at 3800 C16 tight timings fully stable. Also have Crucial Ballistix LT which runs 3600 C16 fully stable (and maybe...

    Team Group Dark Pro "8 Pack Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black

    From what I understand it's largely dependent on whether your particular Ryzen CPU can run 1900mhz IF stable. These are the settings I'm using (all the 'recommended' values); And my latencies with those settings; Hope it helps

    Recommend Home Cinema Package

    I disagree with that. Sure, £1000 could be considered on the low end when it comes to speaker setups, but that's still enough to be a worthwhile improvement over stereo, especially for films

    Netflix issue on Sony TV...

    I've got the exact same issue with my Sony TV (43W805C). I haven't got a suggested fix, but I have worked out a way of killing the app much quicker than going through all the menus. Once you're on the hanging Netflix loading screen, you can press and hold the 'Home' button for a few seconds...

    Latest round of diesel scrappage/ swappage / changeoverage

    Is that definitely correct? Just been spec'ing up a Skoda Superb on drivethedeal.com and they clearly state the £4,000 scrappage allowance is in lieu of any PCP deposit contribution.

    Sorry, I don't understand what you're referring to here. I don't claim to know the in's and out's of the benefits system in this country - my original post was based solely on the information provided by the OP. If the information he provided is correct - i.e. he's been told he's entitled to...
