    well, it's exactly what I want at the moment! In stark contrast to my last three jobs, I won't have an hour + commute, i won't have to worry about what I wear, I won't have to work on my own time...it's fabulous. all it is is a christmas temp role with Game but at the moment it sounds like heaven!

    Thanks Lemon Tree! I'm not great, I still have around 35 listings without pictures, but a lot of the items have been in storage a long time and really need a wash! The rules are really irritating but on the other hand the new fees have encouraged me to list as much as possible.

    lol it more applies to shops, the fees have gone from £6 a month to £20, and theyve altered things so there is only buy it now and auction.
