Some of my items end tonight. 3 will sell so far. Fingers crossed for more bids.

BakewellTarts · 10/10/2009 13:32

How did it go yesterday Tortoise?

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 10/10/2009 16:37

I made £22 last night. Plus Leapster TV sold on BIN today.
Rest end tomorrow i think.
Then i will re-list any unsold items and maybe list some other bits.

BakewellTarts · 10/10/2009 21:48

Hey great result...you must be pleased .

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 10/10/2009 22:07

Yep very pleased
I have 11 watchers on a french connection skirt which finishes tomorrow. Now have to hope they bid!

The skirt went for nearly £9! Other items basically ended on start price.

7 more end tonight. 3 have a bid.

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 11/10/2009 16:08

Aims Are the dark grey boarder trousers normal waist height or hipster type? Looks low in pic.

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 11/10/2009 21:03

Buyer who did the BIN on the leapster TV console is no longer registered on Ebay. Stupidly trusted an overseas buyer again. Oh well! Got my FVF back through ebay. Will have to list it again.

My other bits didn't do very well tonight. Most went for 99p or didn't sell.

A few more bits from me barney , dora and primeval if anyone interested

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 12/10/2009 20:46

Aims Hope Ebay sort it for you. Will keep an eye out for the trousers if you are re-listing them .

Re-listed some bits last night. Haven't got around to listing any other bits yet. Not sure if i will get a chance this week but i will try!

BakewellTarts · 12/10/2009 21:17

Ah well not too bad an evening made £17.66 in sales just need everyone to pay up now.

What is everyone doing about this postal strike? I've got some stuff to relist and am very undecided.

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 12/10/2009 21:59

Postal strike is worrying but not decided what to do about it. I need to keep making money and need to clear out all this stuff i have!

mel1981 · 13/10/2009 11:39

Im watching your primevel bits lilyloo- will see how well my bits sell before I bid tho.
Listed some more stuff the other night and some running out tomorrow here A few watchers as usual and only 1 bid so we will see....

Lilyloooohhhh · 13/10/2009 13:20

If anyone is selling any boys 7-8 trousers or smart boots / shoes size 2 let me know

wilbur · 14/10/2009 10:00

Have added a few more things last night here. One thing was odd though - I was listing the toddler wellies under the baby section and the fees kept coming out at 95p to list, so I ended up putting htme in boys shoes which is maybe not the right place. What do you think?

Is it just really expensive to list in the baby section or was I doing something worng? It's been a while since I sold any baby stuff on Ebay, so maybe things have changed. It was weird though, as everything esle I did yesterday seemed to be free to list. Maybe my computer just has a mind of its own....

Am praying that they sort something out about the postal strike - one of my buyers last week had to wait ages for one of my items. Grrr. Still, I've made about £60 so far, after taking fees and postage off, so that's a good chunk towards the Wii that we're planning to get the dcs for Xmas.

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 14/10/2009 19:28

Has the item not received dispute process changed? When i try to open a dispute i get told to either contact seller or phone ebay! I haven't heard from the seller for over a week and i think i have waited long enough for a refund! (For the DS BTW. It never arrived and seller couldn't find a tracking reciept for it).

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 14/10/2009 20:21

It's ok. I sorted it.

Only have one bid on my listings so far! Not got around to listing more yet. All the apckaging up and labelling etc puts me off!

Lilyloooohhhh · 14/10/2009 20:58

Made nearly £60 on my listings tonight , only the playmobil didn't sell.
Already been paid for the lego and dolls which make up the largest part.
Have more ready to list but agree Tort when i have packaged this lot and posted it may be a while to next lot!!!
But i need funds for xmas ..........

Lilyloooohhhh · 14/10/2009 21:00

Pain on the ds i know you were pleased with that , guessing it was never sent then ?

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 14/10/2009 21:04

Lily Yes i was very pleased i won the DS. I don't know if it was sent or not but i paid for recorded/signed for and seller can't remember if she sent it signed for or not. Hopefully get my money back soon then look out for another one. Not sure i will risk Ebay now because of postal strikes. Will probably look in local newspaper or something!

IdrisTheDragon · 15/10/2009 07:53

At last I have paid for the item that sold on 29th September . I sent a message saying that if they did get access to the internet I would be grateful for the payment - and along it came

Have some clothes to iron and list now..

mel1981 · 15/10/2009 13:44

Sold 3 bits and only made £9 after p&p last night, only got £5 for my crystal glasses- bit disapointed but better than nothing and they will soon be out of my way!
Only a few watchers on the rest of my items running out in 5 days so far. I really dont seem to be doing very well at all on ebay atm, but still.
Well done on your £60 Lily.
Sorry to hear bout the DS tortoise. Maybe try your local cash converters? although they can be a bit over priced at times. I know places like blockbusters and game do 2nd hand games they might do DS's too? Good luck

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 15/10/2009 16:18

Thanks Mel Will have a look at somewhere like that.

My items aren't doing very well either only 3 items have 1 watcher!!

Should list some more bits really!
