Hi

3 new today
51 relists

Doing quite well at the moment, have so much more to get listed tomorrow.

Had quite a scare earlier, I sold a few things over the weekend, 2 of them were 2nd Recorded as they were over £15, wrapped them up this morning and was going to go to the Post Office but it shuts from 12-1 and OH has to leave for work at 1.15 so couldn't go just after one as it would have taken too long. Anyway, decided that I would go before picking the girls up from school. DD3 was asleep and by the time she woke up and we got ready it was 2.45 so didn't have time to go to the Post Office, so thought I would post them tomorrow (well today now), so put them in the wardrobe, when I logged into my e-mail account earlier I had a message saying the £100 I had withdrawn yesterday and been reversed so I knew there had been a chargeback or something on my account as they stop the withdrawal if there is not enough funds in your account to cover it.

To cut it a bit shorter, I checked the item that was in dispute to find that it was one of the items I was going to post earlier (£22.99 plus £2.99 post), I had just eaten my dinner and was feeling very sick until I realised I had the parcel sitting upstairs. Was so relieved that I hadn't made it to the post office as I always post next day as I like to get parcels out. If I had posted it then I would have lost the item and the money as Paypal always reverse the payment to the buyer so I felt quite happy that I still have the item to relist.

Just wondered though about the fees Ebay would have charged me on the item, should I just wait until 7 days passes and file a item not paid dispute to get my fees back? The buyer had 0 feedback so am going to block bidders with less than 5 feedback - shame but don't want to risk it again.

At last something has gone my way.

My advice would be to keep relisting, I've had quite a few items that I've relisted about 20 or more times that have finally sold, two were books that sold at the same time to different people. It doesn't cost anything to list for 99p so you are not losing out on anything. Also don't list for 99p if you want more for an item, I always list for the minimum I want for things and if I get more great.

Xmas is coming up soon so if you have anything that could be useful for stocking fillers then maybe get things like that listed as I'm sure people will be starting to look for bargains soon.

Mayday
