credit_crunch

good morning everyone!

i have a stinking hangover 2day so bear with me please - oh and i have just noticed its afternoon already lol!!!

i have just started listing cds on amazon - am i right in thinking that you only pay fees when something sells? hope so! only got 4 listed - about 30 still to go lol!!

really need to get stuck into my ironing pile too- so might have to give ebaying a miss 2day - only if i get all these cds listed of course!

seen a monsoon dress in charity shop for £9.99 - just lookin on ebay to see if any similar ones on and might go back to get it on monday providing someone hasn't beat me to it lol!!

You must have the patience of a saint Floxxie to list 310 items. Just finished 5 & that's enough before coffee!

What's the new P&P rules please. I'm a newbie here so a bit thick really!

I sold a Rolling Stones CD to a Tony Robinson last week and it was an address near Pinewood too. Was quite exiting! On my work ebay I have sold some vintage top hats to Selfridges London window display department and the BBC props department:D

jessarose i get sooo star struck it it unbelievable! it gets o embarassing even it is only a local celeb who no one else would even have heard off lol!!

as far as i know hettiecarro the new p&p rules means you have to offer free p&p on all media - so cds, books, dvds, computer games etc. i think this is what it is but it doesn't start until sept or oct. hope i got it right!

have 10 cds listed in like 15mins - amazon is so much easier than ebay!

I get to meet a few celebs through work so have to behave myself but I do get very exited, I just hide it well

I don't recognise famous people so have managed to be rude to a few footballers in my time...even refused to sit at the same table as three of them.

Have sold a few houses to famous people but was only told afterwards. The rest of the staff couldn't believe how cool I had acted and I had to admit I didn't recognise these people but did get the impression that they had big egos.

My best one was serving Princess Anne (is that the horsey one?) and I didn't realise who she was, despite the entourage around her. My boss told me off because I made her pay for her jacket potato :rotfl:and didn't use the correct form of address.

hettiecarro, I have no patience but needs must as my family would like a home to live in rather than an ebay hovel! I also have some serious money raising requirements so it is a necessity.

Have nearly sorted out 10 listings which is rubbish but they are the higher value ones (hopefully). Am going to have a break from writing to work out postage for them and then I have another box full of carp which I shall try and list as well.

Not sure what to do about books - is there a maximum postage cost allowed now? I have hundreds of hardbacks and I don't know whether to put them on GreenMet or eBay. Any thoughts?

Time for coffee and then to work out postage (ooops starting the delay tactics!)

Books are currently capped at £2.75 for post and packing but that should be enough to cover a standard hardback if you use 2nd class post.

Purpleroses

ok i'm up to 24 active listings with 1 bid. I've had enough for one day.

I'd say books sell better on amazon/play/green met and theres the bonus of no fee until they sell.

Floxxie

Well done purpleroses. I too have also had enough for one day; I forget how long it takes to list. I'm going to have a short break and then start on preparing some more listings to put on tomorrow night.

Today I have added 15

August total 15/310

A little way to go....

JesaRose

I haven't done any new listings but I did relist a few this evening and sold something for £12.50; a pair of shoes I bought for £1 a few months ago but they hurt my feet. Bonus
