I need motivating to de-clutter and make my bank account look a bit healthier!!! I've got loads of bags and boxes packed with car-boot stuff that didn't sell the other week so might start with that and list those things at 99p just to make a bit of space.

Anyone with me? Shall we set the deadline for end of Summer term (about the 18th July here)?

How are your items doing Aims?

I don't have any bids at the moment and only 2 items have watchers.

Going to try and list some more in a bit.

Wooo, sold the Bugaboo Frog BIN £240 - at £45 profit from when I bought it and bits I upgraded on it, very pleased with that

Bene out all day but have got a car seat, car seat adaptors and this blasted PS2 to get listed.

Manana!!

That is great TOMP.

Bloody Ebay is playing up fo me yet again. Was in the middle of listing too.

Arse - bloke who bought broken walkman says it's much worse than described and MrNC agrees he has a point that a button was broken (I hadn't noticed), so I suggested partial refund or return and full.
Annoyingly he wants to return it.

Currently have 3 expensive items listed (pen, mobile, laptop) and worrying about being scammed... but if they make min bids it'll be £200... {nervous emoticon}

Well done TOMP!

Tortoise · 09/05/2009 21:53

Did you say they would have to pay return postage? Might put him off!

I am so dumb! Ebay wouldn't work on Laptop again so i put PC on. Bloody pictures are stored on the laptop! What a waste of time.
Better turn laptop back on and try on there again.

bubblerock · 09/05/2009 21:58

Well done on everyones profits! Tort - I think Ebay has it in for you!! Must list tomorrow, but not really in the mood tbh.

Tortoise · 09/05/2009 22:39

Worked fine on PC. And worked on IE when i put lappy back on! Maybe to do with firefox?

Oh well!
Have listed a couple of bits here they are.

Will try again tomorrow!

Aims Can i have measurements for this please? I think it would go with DD1's top. She wants to wear it for her 6th birthday. Do you think it would fit her or be too big? Thanks.

Tortoise · 10/05/2009 10:07

P.S have added pic of her in her top to profile. Do you think they would go together?

SNOWBall4girlz · 10/05/2009 12:12

hi Tort your dd is cute that would look nice.

My vertbaudet dress is selling but I have noticed that I put the postage a bit high if you fold things right you can send them large letter not small packet.

here

I cannot change the postage as less than a day to go

SNOWBall4girlz · 10/05/2009 12:18

Only got a few things ending today but lots listed
cute rain coat tort

Tortoise · 10/05/2009 12:21

Thanks SNOW. She is very excited about her party!
Can you add a message to the listing? I sent something the other day which folded small enough to go large letter. You could also make an amendment on the invoice if it sells well.

notcitrus · 10/05/2009 18:42

tortoise - would it be reasonable of me to refund one lot of postage, but not another for returning it? I don't want to be out of pocket for two lots of postage!
I suspect he's only being so picky because he thought he could fix the thing easily and then realised he couldn't. Bah.

On the plus side, 3 watchers for both my pen and phone...

Tortoise · 10/05/2009 18:58

Generally returns are done at buyers cost. And do make sure it is returned before refunding.
Buyer may decide it isn't worth them returning it.
