    I'm not convinced the isbn number search is even there anymore. I can't even see it when i list direct on ebay.

    It is there for CDs and DVds though, although most of the stuff I list is either not in the data base or is wrong anyway.

  • Sorry welshlassie/floxxie - i agree with soolin i'm pretty sure this feature isn't there anymore for books :(

    Welcome back mrscmr - i need to get a head start on you, as once you get going you'll be smoking and impossible to beat lol

    On a more positive note i've done 5 new listings today, so add to yesterdays 15 so i have 20 things listed, it's going slow but i'm doing it :T

    Also remember to list items for 5/7 days not the full 10, that way if they don't sell you will be able to relist them again - still taking advantage of the free listing promotion

    Come on the weather is horrid, theres no excuse not to be listing today folks, and these items will end bang on pay day and a weekend!!!

    Todays listing total to beat so far is 5 :confused:(but i'm working on it)

    Who's gonna take me on???
    (We are not counting relists here those are just an added bonus :rolleyes:)

    Good luck

    Oh no, I was hoping to come on here and be told the easy and quick way to list books. Nevermind, will have to sit in front of TV and go through them bit by bit....

    Managed 17 new listings this afternoon although relaly needed to do 117 listings :rotfl:

    Hi

    I only did 4 new ones today, I don't normally like having auctions finishing on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday as I find I don't get many bids, I always try to end them on Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays (I'm finding Wednesday evenings a bit slow too). I have tons of stuff to get onto Turbolister so am going to be up late tonight doing it, I can't get much done during the day with the kids around as they fight constantly and the screaming and crying does my head in.

    I relisted 21 items earlier to take advantage of the free days and have been doing 5 and 7 day ones and some 10 day ones, my 10 day ones will finish next Monday so I can relist them for another 7-10 days and will still get to list them free.

    Wish I could find a bit more motivation from somewhere as by the time the kids go to bed about 9ish (roll on Winter when it gets darker earlier) I'm tired myself.

    Drumroll please.....several hours later and my listing total for the day is 30

    Not quite as great as i expected, it took 3 times longer than it should have, and i had to seriously force myself to do them but it's progress all the same! So i'm happy and taking the rest of the evening off....will be back to it tomorrow.

    Listing totals for SUNDAY:

    sleepless = 30 new listings :T:T
    Floxxie = 17 new listings :T
    Rockability rebel = 11 new listings :T
    mrscmr = 8 new listings :T
    too_much_debt = 4 new listings (+21 relists) :T

    :rotfl:Ha ha now we have a list so can see whose slacking!

    Keep up the good work guys, lets see some new names added to the list, post your daily totals!
