tortoise · 19/11/2008 14:06

I am and that the snoring donkey has 2 bids! Found a snoring reindeer in the cupboard!

Ann summers top ended on BIN. Only re-listed last night but put it £1 lower BIN price.

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 19/11/2008 20:17

fantastic

I see I'm still the winning bidder on the trousers and top

tortoise · 19/11/2008 20:57

I have my fingers crossed you get them.

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 19/11/2008 21:59

yes - got the trousers

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 19/11/2008 22:00

WOOHOO - I got the top - DS1 will be so chuffed when he opens it on Christmas day

tortoise · 19/11/2008 22:05

Hooray!
Only 5 of the items didn't sell. The hand puppets did quite well considering they came free with the BBc magazine! And i have another one which i forgot to list!

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 19/11/2008 22:07

right - so we said £40 for the stuff bought not on ebay didn't we (including p&p) - £3.50 for those 2 items - which takes us to £43.50 - how much extra for P&p?

tortoise · 19/11/2008 22:24

I will have to put them in the box and check it doesn't take it over what the postage price was. Will do that in a min.

Does Ebay automatically take postage discount off? Sold 3 puppets to the same person and it says £2 postage when it would be £3 as £1 each.
Don't want to give them extra discount lol!

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 19/11/2008 22:27

I think it does if you have it set up..........but not certain - I always preview the invoice before sending in those circumstances - if the postage is less than it would be if they were paying full price for each item then I sent it - if not I go back and fiddle with it

tortoise · 19/11/2008 22:43

Postage shouldn't be over £13 in all Standard parcels. And i found that other top lol! It was in the box all the time!

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 19/11/2008 22:51

so is it £46.50 then? >

that you found that top

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 20/11/2008 08:49

hey tortoise - can you confirm the full amount for the stuff I've bought then I can paypal you the money today

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 20/11/2008 10:05

well last night and this morning I have packed up 14 parcels to send - hopefully today if I get the energy together - or else tomorrow (more likely lol). I've got 2 which I just need to buy a small padded envelope for each of them and chuck the stuff in, and 1 which I can't find one of the items for it .

It's the 4 finger puppets - the parrot appears to have flown away - thankfully it was only bought this Tuesday evening so I still have the weekend (childfree) to hopefully find it - rather annoyed as I'd put all the toys in a big bag and one tiny little parrot finger puppet has gone I'm sure he'll turn up somewhere - just really annoying as I was hoping to get all 17 items that need posting out at the same time.

tortoise · 20/11/2008 19:51

FAQ Sorry lost internet connection last night and couldn't get back online and been out all day shopping today!. Didn't find much to buy though!
Yes £46.50 should cover it it think.
Thanks.

tortoise · 20/11/2008 23:06

OMG! My happy land stuff has a bid!! But only 3 watchers! Hope it makes me some money i really need it for xmas presents.

I really should list some more bits before it gets too late! Tomorrow night hopefully.

Lilyloo · 21/11/2008 09:36

ooh good stuff Tortoise i seem to be having a mare at the minute the pokemon buyer now wants a refund as he says a card is fake
Have offered to refund all money if he sneds back or 50% and he can keep items so will see am gutted as really wanted to use that money to get ds a guitar for xmas!!
At least my paypal has been verified today so can list couple more items although not sure i want to at the minute!

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 21/11/2008 09:38

ooo that's good tortoise. I sent you some money via paypal last night (this morning) - I still owe you £3 though as it wouldn't let me part fund from my paypal account and e-cheque the £3 so thought I'd send the £43.50 and then transfer funds to my paypal (apparently should be there by the 30th ) then I'll pay you the other £3 - hope that's ok

Lilyloo - that's a bummer

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 21/11/2008 09:58

oh don't Aims - I'm about to get dressed (I've just showered) and go into town with 16 parcels - got them in 2 huge Wilkinsons bags .

I've got to send them today as they're already "late" going out (although I did email all the buyers to let them know they would be late as I had sick children).

Lilyloo · 21/11/2008 10:10

I know we ssem to be attracting the duds and it's only to get some money for xmas!!
I was worried about these tbh as what if they take the card that is worth something and replace it with another i would have no idea hey ho!
Bummer about the phone hopefully you can just second chance offer it on Sunday should still be ok for xmas money then ?
guyfawkes lol tough if anyone tuts mention that you are helping support keeping po's open in this climate of many shutting down
