Can I join please?
I have loads to list all of which is clogging up my understairs cupboard. Really need a kick up the backside to get listing again Grin

Tortoise · 01/05/2011 19:14

Nice to see more people joining in.Smile
My items end tomorrow and not doing very well. Fingers crossed for more bids!

if you don't want bids from non UKers you need to set your preferences to block bids from countries to which you don't post. - otherwise, even if you don't state the postage they can still bid.
if however you wish to get more bidders you can simply insert the correct postage for each location (europe and world wide) and then obviously it is just as easy to post outside the uk as it is in the uk -

OOh me too please!

Listed lots over the last couple of days and doing a few more tonight. I have two lots of childrens clothese to do (boy newborn to 12 months) and girl (newborn to three years). I may be some time - but hopefully £300 ish richer!

ThePrincessRoyalFiggyrolls · 01/05/2011 19:27

I have just realised I have some amazing stuff on ebay at the moment (well in my eyes) and some toot, but am hoping that the double urban mountain buggy gets some interest as that would hopefully be a good money spinner (my dsis gave it to me so will split with her as never used it and last time I asked she said just chuck it Shock but I suppose it is quite "old" for her as her children are over 6 now!)

roosterroo · 02/05/2011 17:10

Here are mine, shop.ebay.co.uk/lrud3454/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562

trying to sort out the old ds to ebay and will add that later, hope you all had a fab bank holidaySmile

Tortoise · 02/05/2011 17:32

rooster Is that the original DS? I am trying to get one for my Brother, who lives in Turkey, for his Birthday because the DS lites are too expensive.

So, my items end tonight. SO far 7 out of 27 have a bid!

ThePrincessRoyalFiggyrolls · 02/05/2011 19:31

Hi all, perhaps you might be able to answer a question, I have been asked for a buy it now but my item already has a bid on it, can I do it? TBF it is a very low buy it now price for the item considering and it hasn't been on very long but does already have a bid and don't know what I am allowed or not to do!

Tortoise · 02/05/2011 20:00

If it has a bid then no you can't add a buy it now. You could end the item and re-list with a buy it now but a bit unfair on the bidder.Smile

Oh my god (sorry been watching too much towie)!!! but my items dont finish till tomorrow and im already up to £99,how has this happened, the most ive ever made is around the £30. Ive been totally skint for ages and all the while had my little nest egg in an old suitcase in the loft!! im now officially hooked and anything not glued down in the house will now be sold!!! :)

ThePrincessRoyalFiggyrolls · 02/05/2011 21:36

Thanks, that is what I thought, actually it was a really mean buy it now offer which I was never going to accept (nice item, very pricey, barely used) sadly just discovered that dh's cousin is pg and would have been more than happy to give it to her but now listed. However it would be nice to make a bit of the original price back! (Especially as I didn't end up using it all that much!)

chirpchirp · 03/05/2011 09:25

Wow Vix! That's good going. I'm up to £78 and still have a Paul's Boutique bag listed until Sunday with 44 people watching it! I'm hoping that will take me over the £100 mark. I'm getting a little addicted too. Have never really used the buy it now feature before but out of the 15 things I listed 11 have already been snapped up this way. Now have a big box in the spare room marked "EBAY" for stuff that I want to list when I have time.

roosterroo · 03/05/2011 17:26

hi tort
the ds is the original in silver all works and includes charger, it does however have the hinge broken on one side (ds1 shut it with the stylus inside) both screens are fully working - Ive not started it till tomorrow evening so let me know if you are interestedGrin

Tortoise · 03/05/2011 18:03

Thanks rooster. As it is a gift I need one that doesn't have a broken hinge but hope it does well on ebay for you.Smile

I am up to £38.87 to be precise Grin

But with lots ending every day this week Smile

ThePrincessRoyalFiggyrolls · 04/05/2011 18:07

err - £22.00 jolly good Hmm not very helpful at the moment but so be it!!!!!!
Have 3 days left on some things but at least the house will be a bit freer for more junk to buy!

Aimsmum · 04/05/2011 19:38

Oh I'll join, haven't been on since the Christmas challenge but need to get rid of a load of stuff - my auctions start at 20:30 tonight so shall pop back later.

Buffoonery · 05/05/2011 20:58

my listings

don't know why I listed so much in one go, don't fancy so many trips to the PO if it all sells.

MadameCastafiore · 05/05/2011 21:01

I have loads to out on and 2 mulberry handbags so I can afford to buy dh a claude butler bike for his birthday but getting round to it is a huge effort isn't it!

Fecked off with foreingers buying stuff and then not paying increased postage that it costs to send to them.

roosterroo · 05/05/2011 21:01

Thought you probably needed a good condition one Smile have you tried Game we got our ds lite from them it was £69 (recon) with toy story 3 and its in really good condition - they also give you a 1yr guarentee.

good luck with your listings!
