    Hi Ginga, what is her paypal address - that is the only one that you can send to to be covered by paypal.

    Both Italy and Holland have posting issues - alot of post seems to go missing in Italy, and post from UK - Netherlands can take a month to arrive (I have dutch relatives!).


    Hi lhb
    Thanks for that, I have relatives in Holland too what a small world!!!. The buyer doesn't want to pay with paypal wants to pay with a bank transfer.... is that ok ???

    Update
    250 items listed only 6 bids @99p!!!! now thinking would I be better at a car boot ???:confused:
    Oh the joys....

    Thanks ginga

    Katieshops : Try and list them tomorrow instead for a 7 day listing as ones that finish on Saturdays sell for higher :)

    Hi, welcome to everyone new

    I have got no-where near any of my targets and have no listings running either, i'm really demotivated about the auctiva thing - it is going to cause me masses amount of work/changing listings/templates etc :mad::mad::mad:

    I am busy most of the weekend but will try on sunday afternoon/evening

    Does anyone know when the accounts need to be closed by? when they are starting to charge?

    mrscmr you were doing so well - don't give up hope!

    gingababe - i would well pleased with someone paying bank transfer - no paypal fees no chance of a paypal chargeback - it's quite common in Europe

    Katieshopstoomuch - try to set your listings to end on a Saturday or a Sunday and i find early evening 4-9pm are the best times!

    also friday mornings people tend to avoid ebay due to them doing maintence, so you can often encounter problems

    MUST get listing this weekend folks to catch the payday crowds next weekend, hopefully the bids will come flying in! Lazyness is not an option....get off your backsides!!! Think of the ££££

    I hope to hearing good progress reports this weekend

    Evening all....

    Refunded 20% on the cot:(, but got good feedback.

    Waiting for a buyer to pay. She is in texas - no problems - I amended the p&p and then nothing for 2 days. Then a very terse email saying her confirmed paypal address is in the uk, and will pay once sent?!!!!! She has 1500 feedback, and her address is definately coming up as the states:confused:
    I have amended the p&p for the uk and say Im happy to send to uk - no reply, other items are being paid for. Am I missing something (similar item to french buyer - are they in contact? - could I be immagining a consipiracy here?, or am I just stupid??

    I should have just put it in dd's school fete!!:rotfl:

    Hope things are smoother for you...

    Hi all,

    Can I join please. I am the same as many of you from what I've read - full of great intentions, finally list a load of stuff and then stop listing when I get bored of wrapping and posting!

    I have 30 items listed finishing tomorrow and I promise to get another 5 on every single weekend.

    Cheers,

    Brighty!
