    OMG thank goodness I can post again now!! at least I had my friend round to entertain me :D She brought her moses basket and stand for me to borrow, its the same as this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-MOTHERCARE-MOSES-BASKET-COVERS-CREAM-TEDDY-WASHDAY_W0QQitemZ120395423913QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Baby_Nursery_Cradles_GL?hash=item120395423913&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
    She says she doesn't want the basket back just the quilty thing and the stand :confused: Her girls are just turned 2 and 6mths and she's already broody for another!

    I hate selling on ebay. Once I sold a load of jewellery and a pair of shoes to someone in Italy. I agreed to post them over (combined, the postage was enough to cover it) then she sent me a message saying 'This is how I want it posted. First Class, jiffy bag within a box with plenty of tissue paper, Box entierely covered in brown tape and marked with a permiment marker bla bla bla' I sent one back saying 'sure give me an extra £10 and I will!'. Ended up posting it out as I always do, in lots of carrier bags! :rotfl:
    I had someone in America buy a ps2 game off me... Took her a month to pay, then she was threatening to report me to ebay because it wasn't on her doorstep the next day... Then when she got it she decided it wasn't really her kind of thing so she emailed me to say the best thing would be if she posted it back to me and I re-imbursed her with the original payment plus return shipping costs... I wasn't too keen on this idea so she reported me to 'eBay trust and safety team' no idea what they do but they never got back to me...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    The rare occasion that I now sell I always put 'Payment within 3 days, paypal only, will be posted within 3 working days (what class) and message sent when item has been posted, will not post overseas, if you don't like this then please don't bid'. :rotfl: To hell with ebay rules about 7 days to pay, if it's paypal 3 days is more than long enough!

    Ebay don't 'do' returns anyway, and no company refunds you postage costs unless they have seriusly messed up. Idiot! Oh, there was also the time I put my Dads car on.... :rolleyes:

    I can't wait to be able to sit at home watching crap daytime TV - Diagnosis Murder is my fave :D
    Whoever said about Mick from G&S and Archie in Eastenders - OMG I agree. I loved him as Mick but I can't stand Archie - think that's what make a good actor though
    Well, it's year end and I got all my targets completed on time :j :j
    Just have to hope that when Computer system runs overnight it doesn't botch anything up!! Oh yeah and I saved some other people's skins today by being on the ball!

    Wow, Krystal I can't believe how far up the list I am and I'm nowhere near you!

    As for eBay - I've only had trouble once. I had bought some Take That tickets when they first got back together but decided I didn't want to go. I didn't have tickets in hand so offered to send winner an email with the confirmation of the seats. Tickets came and I posted them off - seems though they were in a slightly different area than the email said. Had to wait for the girl to decide if she wanted them or not and concert was next day!
    She kept them in the end and left positive feedback - it wasn't my fault.

    How I Met Your Mother star Alyson Hannigan was given a special gift on her 35th birthday - her first-born child.
    The actress and husband Alexis Denisof welcomed baby Satyana into the world on 24 March - meaning mother and daughter will share the special anniversary.

    Think the only bad experience I had was a buyer who didn't recieve her item - bearing in mind that she'd taken 2 weeks to pay (with numerous reminders from me!) and first I knew it hadn't arrived was when she started a "goods not recieved" complaint! :eek: Never even dropped me a note to say it hadn't got there or anything... needless to say I wasn't amused and sent her a snooty reply with her £2.33 refund :rotfl:

    I don't want people giving bad experiences of ebay - just ordered two nursing bras from their yest!

    Second coat on ceiling and coving done. Off to make a fish pie - never done before and then more painting when hubby comes home.

    I don't mind buying off there... If the price is right... And they're not hiking up the postage to make some extra money... I've got nearly 600 feedback so I must like it some lol... Wouldn't buy something reeeeeeeally expensive off there though unless it was cash on delivery or something...
