    Sold my first book on greenmet but I hadn't realised that they don't e-mail you to tell you there's a sale so it sold over the weekend and I only just noticed! How bad am I...

    Lindsey, I do get email notifications from GM to let me know as soon as a book have sold, so there's definitely a way - check your Account settings on the GreenMet site, otherwise it may have been over-enthusiastically filtered into your Spam/Junk folder.

    HTH! :D

    I feel the same way hopehope - the challenge is pushing me to do a little bit every day and the money is rolling in the right direction for once! :T

    Listed another 11 CDs last night, and one book sold on GreenMet, then another slow day but dug out another ten books to list & a brand new DS game that OH has been 'just about' to list since before Christmas - it sold within 20 mins! Yes, I priced it to sell, but can I have a few more that fast please??

    Another CD sold tonight too, so that's a nice £11 back in since this time yesterday, and me on track for my £10 a day challenge too - woo-hoo!

    Right, I'm away to update my sig and then off to bed - reminder: really *must* make the effort to photograph & get my wraps listed tomorrow!

    Some of my items have just finished and thats another £117.21 added to my total and siggy has been updated. 8 items did not sell but I have relisted them at a reduced rate (any money is better than none at all) I think I was a bit over-optimistic in the first place.:D

    More items are due to finish tomorrow and 6 of them have bids on them.:j

  • Hi

    Wow! Everyone is doing so well, I've really got to get my act together :o ! I've got five items listed on ebay, one of which has a bid, and two others have watchers (all ending Sunday), but I really think I should be getting more listed!!

    Think I should schedule an evening for taking photos and then do the listing on saturday and sunday to spread it out a bit.

    Have now got 11 books on Greenmet, but no sales as yet, still got a few more to list tho.
