The Money Programme: Making it Big on eBay and "Banks" - XB007/DVD04This DVD contains two programmes from the popular BBC 2 series
Making it Big on eBay
Libby Potter investigates the opportunities and the pitfalls of starting a business on eBay, which now has a staggering 210 million registered users worldwide and an expected revenue of 6 billion dollars this year. She follows the fortunes of three British eBay startups as they travel to a Las Vegas convention to learn the secrets of eBay success and try to become internet tycoons in their own right.
"Banks"
Michael Robinson investigates the claim that British banks are making billions of pounds in profit out of us by breaking the law. The row is over penalty charges for unauthorised overdrafts and bounced payments, which could be illegal if the banks are charging more than it costs them to deal with the problem. Robinson follows customers as they try to get back money from their banks and he discovers why banks have so far paid out to persistent customers rather than defend themselves in court.
