Martin,

I think the biggest issue you are likely to face is how do you test the fob actually works?  Aside from it lighting up the LED, you have no idea (or rather the potential customer wont) that it will actually unlock/lock the car which will not be with you.  This also leaves you open to scam(scum) who will receive your hard work, then claim it doesn't work when it does.

If you're ok with the risks though, go for it.

Martin Imber - I think your issue comes with offering repairs, but not being able to repair faults not related to switches/batt holders.  So make sure you put something in your description about what can and can't be repaired.  Also, for return, use recorded postal services.

You can call me MArtin you know ;D ;D

I do recorded only!

Irrelevent if you empty it, trust me you will just have a negative balance, which you have a set number of days to pay off before other charges added.
