Wow well done Diva. Enjoy spending it.

I have 4 bids over 3 items.
2 items ending tonight. 1 watcher.
Nothing has loads of watchers. 4 is the most i think!

oh bugger - just had an email from one of my buyers from beginning of last week asking where her item is. I posted it on the 6th and it hasn't turned up yet............AND I can't find the frigging proof of postage thingymajig either - DS3 has had hold of my wallet.

I've replied to tell her that I posted it on the 6th and to let me know if it hadn't arrived by the end of this week and I'll refund (£8 including p&p ).

Hope she's not pulling a fast one on me - I posted some Golf Shoes the same day and they had arrived by the weekend, and I notice that one of her feedback left for others is "item apparently got lost in the post, refund from seller" - and she's only got a feedback of 11

yeah I hope so - I've also asked them to confirm their address - they haven't ebayed since the start of this year (and only 11 times in 2 1/2yrs) and when I posted it the woman said "oh that's coming up as a business address" - it was the one on their ebay and paypal accounts so I sent it anyhow.

Now I'm wondering if

a) it is was their work address but they've changed jobs

b) there's flats above the business and it's either

  1. Been delivered to the busines rather than the flat
  2. They've moved house and not updated their details.......

If it's a case of them not updating their address details then I'm not sure whether I should refund or not - is it my fault if the address I have for them is wrong??

I see your phone is going quite well now - with still quite a few days to run

tortoise · 12/11/2008 20:58

Oh no FAQ. Hope it does arrive with the buyer. If it is undelived it may come back to you if you put a return address on.

Probably a silly question but what does do you combine shipping? mean exactly? I think i know but wanted to check before replying to the question!

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 12/11/2008 21:04

well they've confirmed the address is correct. I've said if it hasn't arrived by Friday evening then I'll refund them.

Combined postage basically means - will you put everything I've bought into one parcel and I'll have to pay less (as obviously sending 3 items parcelled together is usually less than sending 3 individual items). Does that make sense???

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 12/11/2008 21:06

Got 4 items finishing tonight (well one already has)

1st didn't sell
no bids on the next two (yet) only a few minutes to go on each)
but 2 bids on the 4th item

All my current listings end within the next 24hrs and current price (out of 33 items still on, 7 items with bids - £10.85)

tortoise · 12/11/2008 21:15

Thanks FAQ. Thats what i thought.

tortoise · 12/11/2008 21:17

I now have 6 bids (5 items will sell).
One ends in 7mins. Bid of 99p!
Am on £7.97!

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 12/11/2008 21:18

np - I always say yes and it means they're more likely to bid if they know they're not going to have to pay so much for the postage (but end up spending more on the stuff I'm selling )_

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 12/11/2008 21:19

3 minutes left on my 3rd item - no bids yet - so up to £2.20 for tonight lol - well I guess it all adds up

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 12/11/2008 21:25

yay! got a bid on it - sold for £3 - so £5.20 guaranteed tonight.

tortoise · 12/11/2008 21:27

Yay well done.

Monsoon scarf sold for 99p! Oh well!

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 12/11/2008 21:37

woohoo 99p is better than no sale

I've made £5.20 tonight - got 30 listings ending tomorrow from about 2pm onwards - only got bids on 6 of them so far - but a few watchers....

SNOWBall4girlz · 13/11/2008 01:37

well you ladies make me laugh in a nice way just been reading the thread

I am plodding along up to about £30 after fees and posting.

I have so much to list and end up doing it at night you used to be able to schedule listigs in turbo lister but now have to do it individually then get charged 6p for the privilege

you all have some cute stuff good luck !

tortoise · 13/11/2008 10:41

OK help me answer this question!! It is from the person who bought the Paul mcKenna book and CD from me. (Which i posted yesterday!)

She has asked : I was just wondering if you had read the book and listened to the cd yourself?
If so, has it worked for you?

My copy that i had, i did read and listen to the CD (which made me pmsl the 1st few times then sent me to sleep!). I can't say it worked lol!

I have said that i found it good but found out i have gall stones and have to follow a low fat/fat free diet so no longer needed it.
This is partly true! I do have gall stones.

No more bids so far today.

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 13/11/2008 14:38

well 4 of my 30 items finishing today have finished - 3 sold for a grand total of £5.18
