i stand corrected then :-[
still, isnt ebay a national thing? if i wanted a tradesman id look in the local press, maybe yellow pages...but i suppose it cant hurt
just typed plasterer in google, no mention of ebay on first page at all, got 'ratedpeople.com', 'consumer protection agency', 'thomson local', load of trade sites... no ebay sponsored though...
ive 1 advert in local paper, gets about 5 calls a week, costs £58 a month...peterborough area
