  • Why oh why didn't I look for an appropriate sized mailing box before listing an item! I've spent much of this afternoon struggling with a pair of scissors, sellotape and an empty Huggies box!

    :rotfl:Did it really need to be in a box?
    I usually wrap non fragile stuff in cheap bin liners and OH always moans about my refusal to ever throw away a padded envelope I receive :p

    Me too- I recycle Jiffys and bubble wrap from work too. Must have saved a fortune doing this.

    Yes it did! I'm not a total novice! :rotfl::rotfl:

    It was a breastpump and I wanted it to arrive safely ;).

    I too am a jiffy bag hoarder and I even save the brown paper packaging in Amazon boxes for wrapping parcels. I'm so eco-friendly! :D

    My 8 items finish tonight and we are up to £54.31. My OH gets soooo excited when items are about to end. He doesnt use ebay so I have to announce to him what each item goes for. He's like a little kid!

    ooh SB I forgot about the Amazon paper!!
    I do that too :D
    PS. (I keep my boxes for stuff like that coz I know I'll be most likely selling them on at some point) Geek! :o

    Well done Mooki and in fact everyone that's been hard at it :T give your OH's instructions to give you a pat on the back (and while they're there maybe a bit of a rub) ;)
