I would go for after too.
I listed a raincoat which was exactly the same as one already listed. Mine went for more than theirs!

BakewellTarts · 20/10/2009 17:59

Tortoise been looking at all the other options and think you are right. It will have to go by RM. I think I will contact the bidder when paid and give them the option (I suspect they'll want it quickly or at least in time for Halloween.

my stuff

Am selling a Gap boys bundle, nursery bedding, womesn size 10 clothes, Brownies hoodies & a girls coat.

IdrisTheDragon · 20/10/2009 21:54

Argh. Am trying to list the book and as of yesterday you aren't allowed to charge P&P on books . Grr.

The ones I listed on Sunday could have it.

IdrisTheDragon · 20/10/2009 22:00

Maybe mine will be more attractive with no P&P charges?

BakewellTarts · 20/10/2009 22:07

No P&P on books!!! Won't everyone flock to Amazon Marketplace. Sometimes I wonder about EBay.

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 20/10/2009 22:09

I found that yesterday when i listed audio books . If i had listed the day before i would have been ok to charge postage!

Agree it might make yours more attractive to bidders.

Lilyloooohhhh · 21/10/2009 12:50

They are really out of order just keep bumping up the start price , so no free 99p lisitings and more profit for ebay

IdrisTheDragon · 21/10/2009 14:09

That's what I was thinking

SNOWBall4girlz · 21/10/2009 22:53

Hi there, well I am looking to start selling again but is it all doom and gloom ?
O hope not lol.

Got some large jeans and a top some baby stuff and girls stuff but I have been trying to get on photobucket for ages with no joy.

Anyone else use photobucket?

Lilyloooohhhh · 22/10/2009 11:17

snowball i thnik it's good time as people are definately buying , just a bit rubbish on anything that is free p+p and postal strike may have impact.
However i am still buying off there and expecting delays so hopefully other buyers will too.
Might be worth adding note to bottom of your listings everyone telling them to be prepared for some delays ?

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 22/10/2009 21:41

Listed a few more items.

Harry potter audio book sold on BIN

IdrisTheDragon · 25/10/2009 22:19

Need to find more things to sell now

YourCallIsImportant · 25/10/2009 22:51

Hello, can I join this thread? I've just listed a load on Ebay, and hope to pay for Christmas. I've made £95 this week, and have stacks of kids clothes still to list.

I've also had a car boot sale (£112), I sold my old mobile phones to Envirophone (£220), and sold a very small pile of old broken bracelets and necklaces that are donkey's years old, and made £765 from that.

I'm trying to fund Christmas and clear out my clutter at the same time.

Wish me luck!

ATortoiseisBetterThanABlackCat · 26/10/2009 09:25

Wow you have made loads already yourcall.
Do you want to link to your Ebay items? Not that i need anymore reasons to spend money!!

IMoveTheStarsForNoOne · 26/10/2009 11:02

Late to this, but can I join in please?

Just started selling on ebay and have sold £11 worth so far, but a Mini Boden top is finishing tonight, so that should add another £10 to my total !!

Am I allowed to list them here?
