1) Zopa lending is NOT the same as a savings account or a term deposit – if you think it is, then you are not ready for Zopa
2) Make sure that you understand Zopa returns after fees, bad debt and tax before you start to lend
3) Diversity across borrowers and an unhurried way of lending are the keys to success

Just noting the occurance of lending topics that say it is a quick question.  

And as it is a long weekend, I thought I would ask a quick question.

Could we have a poll? Perhaps one with 17 options.

Need alone?

You're not a loan.

Oh, but the idea of having more than one question you'd consider acceptable, and a ranked preference between these questions is far too complicated for forum members to understand!

Far simpler to understand so-called "tactical voting"... you never vote for the question you actually want - just the question that's got the best chance of beating the one you definitely don't want.

I've not quite worked out why something like AV is too complicated for us voters, while the same bunch of people telling me this seem to believe that I should have no problem understanding the UK Tax system!
