hi fairy face.. im a private seller as im selling all the things i bought when i had money ... now theres a joke! trying to turn the enormous things i have amassed into cash to help the situation!

I was made redundant 6 months ago, and so need to have a backup for when my redundancy money runs out, so have recently got back onto eBay after a long abscence (but have been using eBid for quite some time.)

Did 10 new and 10 re-lists yesterday and have over 150 unsolds from the free-listing bonanza to go through and check before re-listing :rolleyes:

And I'm supposed to be doing my ECDL homework ..................

Oh noooo , I listed an item that finished on 12th september. The winner has problems with paypal!!!!! & eventually paid on the 30th September by postal order I dispatched on the 2nd October by 2nd class postage, they have just filed an item not recieved. I didn't send by recorded post! What shall I do? Why am I so nice?
Any help would be grateful.
Thanks

just explain to them that it was dispatched on the second, which was only Friday, so I think they are being very pushy expecting it to get there by today.
second delivery does always say allow five working days so dont panic

I would gently remind them when it was posted, they may have seen the date of sale on their ebay and forgotton how late they paid.

Had a good weekend sales totalled £152, £98 receievd already. Spent a lot of time sorting and photographing more stuff to list, so I can list in the evenings during the week. Aiming for 5 things a night, getting them ready to post is a real hassle, so don't to deal with too many packages at once!

did you get proof of posting though? royal mail do not class as 'missing' until 15 working days have passed. i have sold loads and have only ever had one thing 'truly' not turn up - 2 items turned up back at my house weeks later!

no relist

p.s. I'm also doing the eBid "Pink Fridays" October promotion to help raise funds for Breast Cancer Care:

http://www.pinkfridays.org.uk/

To find the listings, go to http://uk.ebid.net/ and look for 'Cancer' section under the 'Auctions for Charity' tab.

Thanks for your advice re the item not recieved, I filled in the details,anyway they have closed it down & left me neutral feedback!! Saying fab item just a shame about the dispatch time !!!! Can I put a comment on it ? if so how do I do it ??

Many thanks
