    hi ginga
    i totally agree with lexx. tell the buyer - its not worth getting in a state over it. tell the buyer today - right now. explain and i am sure they will understand, give a full refund. most people are reasonable and will understand. honesty is best policy.!

    Yes post the cheque back to her, thats a good idea, with another apology to follow up on the email.
    Even though she will probably cancel the cheque.

    i wouldn't worry about it, i doubt very much that they buyer will neg you.

    I wouldn't worry ginga, it was an honest mistake.

    Good going with the listings mrscmr! I managed 3 items last night. Better than nothing

    I've still not done any ebay but I have put some more items on Play & Amazon.

    Definately just be honest ginga - most ebayers are nice normal people so she will understand

    hey ginga - thats unfortunate about the lamp - hope your buyer understands - good luck - hope it works out ok

    i have lots of pics taken so i am not moving from the computer until i hit the 50 listings mark - have 19 or 20 already listed so only need 30 or thereabouts.....

    i have decided to invest in either a treadmill or computer so have set myself a goal of £300 to start with - so off to start listing NOW!!!

    oh and I registered as an Amazon seller last night - took a while to get there but don't really have any books or cds to out on yet - have a few videos so will have to hoke them out and see what similar ones are fetching

    xx

    Well done everyone!

    CL, my camera is broken too.
    gingababe, although it might seem really important, the breakage isn't. Don't stress too much as your hormones go into your little one and amke them stress so have a nice relaxing bath and forget it all. You've done the best thing.

    Just back from a run. Going to take a shower and then get on with preparing some more listings. Have decided I shall put them on Sunday because I have so much going on at the moment I am likely to forget something in the description or the postage...

    Also need to get camera fixed or buy new one.

    cc, great idea about have a target to buy something but you also reminded me that I have a very expensive treadmil in the garage that is comepletely covered with stuff for eBay! By the time I find it, it won't be worth more than a couple of pounds!! :rotfl:
