I noted that a short while back, the checkout from the product page seemed to be interpreted as 'add to basket' - I've removed the paypal checkout link from there for clarity...

I think this may "partly" be an Outlook problem.
I'm using Outlook 2007 on Windows 10x64 and do have problems clicking on some links in emails, not sure what type.
When this happens the solution is to right-click on the link and copy it, then paste into a browser.
Did that and it worked, password now set without asking again.

Thank you all for your comments so far, it's great to hear all the positive ones, and very useful to hear about the changes and fixes we need to look at.

The first few automated orders are coming through to us now that Paypal is working as it should, so crack on and fill your baskets!

Ah you know I'd clicked on the button but hadn't spotted that's what the jump up was for! Duh

Oh dear. I've already lost an hour browsing for parts I don't need!

Good job!

Another suggestion - it would be handy to be able to sort categories by 'recently added' the same as you can in the ebay store.

Not that I check every week to see what new stuff you have for D2s or anything. Of course not

The secure link to the shop is https://store.prestigemotorservices.co.uk and in order to achieve the 50% off (in addition to the 5% sale already running!) you need to enter ‘Prestige50’ at checkout.

Please feel free to be as critical (or complimentary) as you wish, we really want to hear your opinions on all aspects of the shop.

Thank you
David
Hi David is the 50% just for today or is it on all the time to forum members.

cheers trev.

It is not letting me go to "checkout", to be honest it is not giving me a "go to checkout" button.
Suppose that this is 'cos it thinks that I have ordered too many.
Only want one and at half price as a boring old fahrt I cannot let it go.
