    Just wondering, I have read through the info, but, e.g.

    - if I list an item, starting at 99p, this would be 5p
    - if I list an item that starts at say £5, would this still be 5p? :confused:

    - Multiple items, i.e. job lot of books, jeans, clothing, how would I list them as? If they are 5p, how can I do this? I have never listed job lots BTW so apologies if I am asking so many questions.

    At least a cheap listing day now will throw up some nice listings of unwanted gifts, rather than the usual old clothes and stuff!

    No point starting at 99p for this offer, start at the price you are prepared to sell at. Dont go for any extra photos unless you self host, now a whopping 36p each! Subtitles are also a waste of £1.05.

    Above prices are for 30 day BINs so not relevant to this offer.

    Just bumping to remind people. The site seems pretty quick at the moment but will probably slow down tomorrow evening.
