Reviews

Nowadays, the word "event" is thrown around all too often when describing television programmes, but back in 1983 the debut of V: The Mini Series was a television event in the truest sense. The appearance of gigantic flying saucers over the world's largest cities heralds the arrival of aliens from a distant galaxy who look human and act benevolently. Of course, things aren't exactly what they seem, and when some suspicious humans start to question the visitors' intentions they uncover a vast alien conspiracy, along with some unusual culinary habits. Soon, the visitors have enslaved the Earth under their fascist rule, and small groups of human rebels are forced underground to fight for the freedom of their entire species. But with the future of the planet still in question the epic story comes to an abrupt end, forcing the viewer to wait for the resolution in V: The Final Battle and the on-going series.

That's not to say that the original V isn't worth the price of admission: in over three hours, it manages to capture the spirit of the great classic science fiction of the 1950s and 60s. The feeling of paranoia and insecurity that runs throughout the whole thing makes it feel, at times, like an expanded episode of The Twilight Zone, only shinier (hey, it was the 1980s). The special effects were impressive for their day, inspiring similarly themed films in the 90s (the gigantic flying saucers were seen again in Independence Day, and the storage area of the mothership turns up in The X Files Movie and The Matrix). What does irritate, however, is the utter lack of subtlety in the allegorical storyline. In fact, it could only have been made more obvious by demanding that the entire cast wear "This is how it was in 1930s' Germany" t-shirts. But if V occasionally doesn't live up to its own high standards, it's still a remarkably high-quality slice of epic television drama.

On the DVD: The picture is an impressive widescreen 1.85:1 ratio and the soundtrack is adequate Dolby stereo. The DVD boasts a feature-length commentary by writer and director Kenneth Johnson, as well as a 25-minute "Behind the Scenes" documentary. --Robert Burrow

PLEASE NOTE: While we wish to encourage sales on eBay by showing both opening and Buy-It-Now prices are cheaper here then our Amazon zshop fixed price alternative, the below subdomain for our Amazon shopfront is NOT hosted, as eBay Trust and Safety haven't in over 6 months agreed a REPLACEMENT to the previously eBay authourised template, in our proposal to have an agreed PRICE ONLY comparison site hosting this subdomain.  This any loading of the Amazon.Charity-OnLine.ie link will result in NO Page Found Message, until we are advised otherwise.  We apologise on behalf of eBay for this failure, and thus that we cannot currently provide an active link - however this option cannot be enabled until an appropriate hosting of price information, allowed by eBay's Policy can be identified, and result in a hosting of this subdomain to an improper site, so that it is not accidentally inferred to be in breach of Circumvention Policy (which it is not).
NB: Please note that despite us accepting the Electronic payments systems of Paypal, Nochex and PPPAY, eBay Trust and safety is somewhat schizophrenic with regards to the policy.  While as it is not allowed to not state any payment options available, and then provide different options, P&P or charges other then stated as these would be breaches of policy, we are not in this listing identify the e-mail address and payment options in the listings, which such policy of accepting such Electronic and On-Line payment options make available.  If you wish to use these payment options (and nobody ever has to date, but we have to provide for such options), please contact us by e-mail after the listing has closed and we can send you Payments Accepted.FAQ, which contains more detailed information (herein omitted for unstated policy which, if we didn't provide mention of Nochex and PPPAY in addition to Paypal would be a breach of the prior disclosure policy.  Please note that instruction not to include the information in Payments Accepted and the Nochex and PPPAY Logos and payments link is as a result of the policy to allow such payment being regarded as a breach of policy for breach of Accepted Payments Policy.  This Clarification and removal in this listing of said payments instructions and links, although contradictory, has been requested by eBay staff, even though in respect of 3 listings on our other shop, it was ascertained that such payments are allowed; and thus links to such sites are consistent with this policy, and such alternatives on offer to Paypal, which do not in any way stop people paying by Paypal, if they wish is also allowed.  This instruction here directly contradicts the findings as a result of the excuses having been found to have been applied wrong in respect of the removal of the listings there.
 
"You may offer to accept PayPal, credit cards including MasterCard/Visa /Amex, debit cards and bank electronic payments online for eBay purchases. You may also offer to accept bank-to-bank transfers, often known as bank wire transfers or bank cash ransfers. "

Accepted payments policy states that bank cleared credit/debit cards online or electronic payments are allowed, and then explains that:
You're not allowed to request payment through online payment methods specifically banned by our accepted payments policy.

Payment Services permitted on eBay:

Allpay.net, cash2india, CertaPay, Checkfree.com, hyperwallet.com,
Moneybookers.com, Nochex.com, Ozpay.biz, Paymate.com.au, Propay.com,
XOOM

We have waited many weeks for such clarification, and as non such were received have, according to the Standard eBay approved template (with the changes authourised) have amended the template and started relisted items - no such listings removals have been removed until today 21-01-2009.
For a third time in over a month we have been advised that they will contact us shortly to confirm whether the Accepted Payment Policy, as quoted from eBay above or this new inconstant policy of blocking all payments (including Paypal, which is not stated, and Nochex, which is on the permitted payments list) unless specifically allowed EVEN though these applications are directly contradictory.

If we rather then removing the logos and links and checkout/payment instructions without comment, then we would be in breach of the policy requiring such information to be disclosed as to payment options, and thus in breach of the policy to provide Payment Instructions and details.



Thanks for looking and for your support.

Trustees of Federation Trust, on behalf of Charity-OnLine Consortium E-Commerce Project and our beneficiary customers (Supporters).

If you have any used stamps, please consider donating them (Note: regarding this section, please note addendum in Squaretrade Seal Info below, stating we cannot solicit payments by post: this refers to donating of used equipment and stamps); or if in the UK, Ireland or France: Inkjet, Laserjet, Fax (except Epson, which have no significant value), Photocopy toners, Mobile Phones or PDA's.  We will transfer at least 50% (we will increase this up to 75% when we have sufficient funds and have started a permanent Charity-OnLine Service, and will only need to cover our running costs); we can donate to any Charity, School, Youth Club, or other cause of your choice (in the UK or Ireland: all we need is a Bank A/c, Sort Code and Name of the account, unless it is one of the many we already deal with), or even set up a system for you at work, or within your organisation, with your own recycling account number - in the UK and Ireland we have a freepost address for such schemes - and you help the environment - this is another part Charity-OnLine.

Charitable Principles Notice
The Trustees of Federation Trust have not sought and are not Registered and thus not able to have been awarded Charitable Status in the United States of America, nor UK; as a result we are not members of eBay's US and UK Charitable Donations and Listings systems.

As a Charity Support Service, however in the Republic of Ireland, the Trustees of Federation Trust list, purchase, administer and provide for Sale items.  It should be noted that the information on the beneficiary of the auction is usually in order to support the General Fund of Federation Trust or to cover the costs of development, set up and administration of the Charity-OnLine E-Commerce Project, and other services.  Only listings specifically stated for another cause, being a member (Charity or Project), or an associate (Other Voluntary or Community Groups), shall be administered by the Trustees using assets earmarked or donated for such a cause by the Trustees of Federation Trust, jointly and severally and should not be assumed to be in any official capacity on behalf or a member, associate or Charity by virtue of an asset administered by the Trustees through the Charity-OnLine E-Commerce Project being earmarked, and the proceeds (excluding Postage and Handling Costs) for the benefit of any named Charitable Body is done in a non-paid voluntary capacity by the Trustees, in support of our Charitable Ethos, by Co-operative decision-making is any way official.  We do work for the benefit of members, associate and other charitable bodies to benefit such organisations with the resources and assets.  If there is any listing or fundraising done in any Official capacity, we will naturally provide such documentary evidence (including Contact details, relevant Charity Number and VAT Number as applicable) which shall be provided on any such listing and also sent to the Compliance Section of Paypal in the USA.  This shall be added to all eBay Listings within the next 24 hours, and added to the template for any future listings

We have also been asked to create an affidavit that we are also not registered or licensed in any country, and will not, and are not able to use Paypal to accept payments for Stock, bearable bonds, or other securities, if such a service were available to us.

Paypal have requested us to state this obvious fact that we are not as Trustees of Federation Trust operating in any official Capacity on behalf of any other body - this notice shall be added to any listings relisted and to templates for any future listings, because of a detailed investigation into ALL Charititable bodies and Non-Profit Organisations (including those not operating and registered in the USA), on behalf of the United States of America Internal Revenue Service, as a result of widespread fraud and corruption as a result of Hurricane Katrina - where Millions of US$ was raised and did not benefit the Humanitarian needs of the victims and survivors.  As a result of this investigation, we have spent some three weeks in providing e-mail and photocopy of documentations of some 300+ pages, including detailed information of our processes in Ireland, the fact that we are not registered or set up in the UK or USA, with details of our procedures on behalf of the one outside Charity Listing, with proof of payment, and receipt of the proceeds, credit card statements, statements and bills and photo id for the two Trustees based at the home address from which the services and projects are administered, and bills in the names of Federation Trust and the Charity-OnLine E-Commerce Project, as well as confirmation of Tax Number, used for offsetting sales within the European Union, at the relevant National Standard Rate, if applicable against purchases for records of Value Added Tax.

This statement has been made as a last step in order to remove any Limited Account Access of the Paypal profiles of Charity-OnLine (Charity-OnLine@iol.ie/utvinternet.co.uk/ie.com) and Federation Trust (FederationTrust@eircom.net/iol.ie) for eBay Listings for Charity-OnLine-Ireland and Charity-OnLine-Second-Chance and Charity-OnLine-GB and is to be sworn as an affidavit to be the truth,

Summary of My Selling Policies
Payment NOCHEX, PPPAY to Charity-OnLine@iol.ie; Paypal: Checkout & VAT, EU: Paypal@Charity-OnLine.ie; Paypal: Cash/Cleared Funds, ex-EU: DamonMDSL@eircom.net; Bank A/c, Electronic, Phone or OnLine Transfer, cheque, Bank Drafts, Postal orders, etc payments, in Sterling within the UK or within Ireland & Eurozone to Bank Account [IBAN, Fees collected by seller, ONLY] in Euro; no Cash or payments by post on foreign bank a/c (because the charges/fees may exceed the transaction and inaccesibility to Bank due to lack of distance and transport payments may only be made into the relevant bank and we do not allow any payments to HQ DEPOT, as we would have to forward these on to the bank by post anyway - so pay your money, by whatever means, if not using Paypal, Nochex, or PPPAY through the banking system).
PLEASE NOTE: WE NEVER CAN RECEIVE CASH OR OTHER PAYMENTS BY POST TO US. Cash Payments, in reference to Paypal are usually referring to the Cash Balance Transfer, Direct Credit, Paypal E-Check / E-Cheque Balance Transfer of other Cleared Funds systems used by Paypal AND DO NOT EVER REFER to PHYSICAL CHANGE OR NOTE DENOMENATIONS OF ANY KIND.
This note is required because eBay keeps on ILLEGALLY REMOVING VALID AND POLICY COMPLIANT LISTINGS which refer to these Virtual Cash Balance Transfer Systems on Paypal, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT BOTHER THEIR @®$€$ TO READ A FULL SENTENCE, and cannot understand the systems used by their Subsidiary, Paypal on Personal Accounts, which cannot take Credit Card and other Uncleared Funds. NB: please note the substitution of "BOTHER THEIR @®$€$" for the proper English expression which caused all our UK Listings (including those previously unable to have the revised SQUARETRADE SEAL Summary of my Selling Polcies included.  This revised text is being submitted to test whether it will be removed or not, as eBay have failed to provide any proof as to how this does not meet their policy, nor advice as to how to correct it, as repeatedly requested in the 12 times listings have been removed.

ALTHOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A PERSON TO GO INTO ANY BANK AND BUILDING SOCIETY TO MAKE ANY PAYMENT (INCLUDING Change and notes) AND TRANSFER BY BANK GIRO TRANSFER INTO OUR WITHIN THE UK ACCOUNT IN STERLING OR TO OUR REPUBLIC OF IRELAND ACCOUNT IN EURO (or by previous arrangement by IBAN within the Eurozone) - we do not receive these funds by post, and the method of transfer is BANK GIRO TRANSFER, and doesn't involve us taking any CASH.

Trustees of Federation Trust.
Fees We are E-Trading Exporters and thus VAT is deducted automatically at Checkout within the EU, at the relavant Standard Rate of each Memberstate; Companies and VAT Registered persons, outside the Republic of Ireland will have VAT Refunded under the INTRASTAT Export Rules on Production of a Registration Number, or VAT Exemption Certificate. As Denmark illegally charges VAT on import, irrespective of whether it has been paid, we, for policy reasons refund VAT for persons in Denmark. VAT on Sales is contracted against VAT charged on purchases, expenses, eBay and Paypal Fees and Commissions, thus preventing us losing as much on VAT Deduction Costs. VAT is not chargeable on Childrens Clothing, Books or Software for people with Visual Impairments; to be exempted to pay VAT on Aids and Appliances, Software and Equipment for People with Disabilities VAT Exemption Certificates must be obtained before payment is made.
Shipping Everywhere: Ireland, UK, Europe; elsewhere we have to charge the highest fee, because the risks involved and higher costs (Especially areas such as South Africa and Mexico), where the costs and risks are the highest as items go missing most and get lost.

Buyer Beware:
1: eBay cheaper then Amazon comparison: Other sellers like lodging complaints with eBay for keeping to the Bay authourised template which all our listings are based on - these show our opening price here, the Buy It Now and our Amazon shop price - and provides the informational links to shows you how much you can save here over eBay with the links to our Amazon shop to enable you to confirm this - so you can be assured of a good price here on eBay;
2: Second Chance offers are using eBay's system; Postage and Handling does not cover, but includes calculation towards Packaging, Printing, and Telephone, administration, subscription, and any other costs or fees [Re-edited, see Clarrification or (note 4:).  Postage amount in Euro charged in Sterling the Handling part covers all the rest.  This is neither circumvention, nor excessive - estimated at 1/3 of amount in Euro when Euro to Sterling was around, 0.667, tourist rates are around 0.80, making it from around to under 20% of the total - we do not pass or add on to this cost - it is a set rate - we save on some packaging, by recycling packaging for opening price items; if we save, we refund in proportion to this estimate.
3: Charity-OnLine Recycling Scheme and other Yahoogroups and charity support links - The eBay authourised template supplies information on what Charity-OnLine does from any surplus from your support - this includes background information on how we work, what we support, and includes link to provide information on our voluntary work, and informational resources and support groups funded and administered by the Trustees of Federation Trust and your continued support.  These are informational resources and discussion groups and, forming an integral part of the Charity-OnLine projects and services, thus were included in the 2006 authourised eBay Template.  It must be noted, that these do not link to e-commerce facilities or groups, and in no way can be considered an inappropriate link.
Our fees and postage policy are stated in our listing and Squaretrade Seal - these have often been added to and clarrified - sometimes as a result of words being taken contrary to their context by eBay.  Opening price is calculated from, or just under the cost price.  Postage and Handling costs are given as Sterling amounts from actual cost of postage in Euro - the difference in exchange rates covers a contribution towards Handling: these are Packaging (we use recycled packaging, whereever possible at near opening/cost price, and new packaging on Buy-It-Now - which is always given as a lower amount then our Fixed rate shop price with Amazon (this is taken from the RRP, if available, or trade price in Ireland, for a rare and deleted item only stocked by specialist traders) - indeed a link has been provided in the interests of transparancy to our other shops so this and other information can be confirmed - and is part of the original template approved by eBay), printing eBay, Paypal and foreign exchange fees.  Indeed when we have a saving on postage, we refnd the excess equivalent in postage and handling - so we can never be accused of excess postage fees.  If another Postage rate is wanted or used, we keep to this policy to ensure an open and transparant system(when he exhange rate was 0.667 or thereabouts the difference sometimes covered costs, now with exchange rates for the Euro/Sterling at 0.8 and above, the eBay and Paypal fees are almost never covered, and packaging, printing and foreign exchange fees are prioritised - as the rates vary - we selected an amount which  cover some of the costs at the time, and was realistic expression of "Handling" and is fair and most definately not excessive.  Within the EU where we have to charge and account for VAT (what Paypal call "Sales Tax") based on the location of where the delivery address is, as this rate varies from 15 - 25% depending on that EU Member-states standard rate, it is calculated and given by Paypal on checkout automatically.  We do not add any other costs, or charges over what is available and stated in a listing, unless rates given ae no longer available.  Where due to some quirk in Paypal an error is made in the calculation, we will inform the supporter of this discrepency, and may send a Paypal Payment Request, accordingly - to ensure that neither the supporter, nor ourselves are out of pocket we keep this open and transparant; refunding savings made, and sending Paypal Payment Requests for underpayments to the costs, or at least that part of the costs we charge as a contribution, per our policy.  You can rest assured that we do not, and will not try to make any additional money or cheat you - but we do hope to sell above cost price, and that we cover the postage and handling, VAT, in accordance with these open and transparant policies.

4: We have a fixed rate calculation.  Where an amount is charged to us in Euro for postage, we pass on that amount, given in Sterling as Postage and Packaging .  Checkout Rates given are limited to maximum price for a standard postage, a Registered method and a Courier service to UK or elsewhere in UK listings or Ireland and elsewhere in Irish listings - a smaller amount, say to Ireland, EU, Rest of Europe etc may be given as per listing at cheaper rates available, and invoiced accordingly - if a more expensive rate is charged, it is refunded, according to this method.  The difference is given towards out of pocket costs, which may be incurred.
If you are not wanting to complete by standard postage elsewhere then Ireland, or select a Registered, Courier or other service, we will reduce the amounts, according to the cost (current rates are stated in the listing).  If you are in Ireland, on an UK Listing, or Registered or Courier in the EU or Rest of Europe, or send a Book by Books Abroad (within the EU) or International Bulk Mailing Service Priority M-Bag (such rates other then UK are defaulted to the highest option, being New Zealand - all other An Post Published Rates are cheaper, so please wait until we check the listing, books abroad or local IBMS Priority M-Bag Rate and invoice it accordingly, so we do not have to refund you!
If we are able to get a cheaper postage fee, we will pass it on and refund it according to this set rate calculation.  If a more expensive postage rate is requested, similarly this method will be used.  These include a contribution towards costs incurred.  While an item starting at opening price and having no other bids this does not cover most of these - items at Buy It Now or Best Offer, however may cover all costs.  Packaging or Handling and are not limited to normal costs incurred, including Packaging, printing, telephone, administration, overheads and membership subscriptions.  We may rather then follow the £2 for 2nd to 4th Item and £1.50 per additional item thereafter, and substitute this with expected cost - if we are able to get a cheaper rate, say if we can posted as Large Letter, rather then Packet rate, the difference will be refunded, according to the method.
All Normal fees and charges are in built and we do not charge directly towards these (however if a surplus is generated from any part of a listing, say at Buy-It Now, Best Offer or a higher bid, we will transact internally such costs in order to ensure we comply with the Charity Rule requiring us to administer the assets so that they do not become wasted.  Charity Specific listings all monies for the Charity will be made to the charity after any costs incurred, and any surplus made from P&P will accrue in a fund, resulting in extra monies being made then simply the bid. (Case points for reference Paypal IRS investigation into Hurricane Katrina and Charity/Not-For-Profit accounts and proof of monies paid to National Council for the Blind (or minimum payment for MissionFish)).
We do not EVER charge any more towards eBay, Paypal or Banking Fees for normal payment methods of Paypal, PPPAY, Nochex, or payments into our Sterling Bank Account from the UK from a Sterling account, or to our Euro Account in the Republic of Ireland from a Eurozone country in Euro - however, as no fees are charged for receiving monies under such schemes. Persons other then in these circumstances will be required to absorb ALL fees for a transfer and not send monies collect, as we may be charged a set fee for receiving a smaller amount of money.  If a supporter has sent us a payment with fees attached, we will seek to recover same.
As per listing, VAT is calculated at the relevant National Rate (based on delivery address) within the EU - Paypal calls this "Sales Tax", and is supposed to be included at checkout.  As these rates vary from 15 - 25%, this is the only stage in which VAT is actually identified, as Paypal has all this information.  A recent checkout integration issue being dealt with by Paypal Merchant Technical Support and eBay Seller Support has meant that VAT has not been consistently calculated and applied.  We will advise and correct this error as it occurs.
