mum2one - I'll wrap 'em for you £1 a present I love wrapping actually, I wish I could make it look posh but I can't! They are really good bargains, well done! Avon are another place that do quite decent presents cheaply if you look in the right places

Paddington - I ended up buying my friend's 1 year old a "in the night garden" toy which should have been £20 but got it for £5 in the Boots sale! Could you get a cuddly toy for her or whizz up a knitted toy ? (not sure how fast your fingers go!!)

Just remembered I have a brand new Old bear ABC book somewhere - dust jacket is a bit tatty but can take that off. Am thinking about being a bit naughty and being late with it to give me more time (mainly to make a point as pressies for DD are always at least a week late - even xmas last year!) :rolleyes:
I have a pattern and leftover wool so will probably do the cardigan I intended - feel naughty but I've been busy :rotfl:

Hi mummy2mygirls, hope you find lots of ideas on here to help you become money neutral and good luck with Bignoports.

I have sold 13 of my items on Ebay :T:T:T:T have just one left on there now. Does anyone know if I have to do anything next as they are going to collect from me I think instead of posting. I changed the listings to say local collection but never done it before so not sure how it works. Do you think they will just have to pay the item amounts minus the PP on their invoices?

I forgot to put the last one as buy it now, thats why they didnt buy it but they sent to ask me to do it so think they will buy that one too.

If you click send invoice (or what bit it is), the invoice will show up, the 1st item will have a tick in the box, you need to tick the rest (so it then comes on one invoice), and the p+p line say its said £12.00 you can delete that and put in £0.00, there is a discount button, but I dont use it, just the alter postage.

Hope you dont mind me being cheeky - more to cover your back, in the box at the bottom on invoice where you can add extra comments in, Id put something along the line of, " no postage charged due to collection, if postage required please let me know nad I will add £xx.xx to total"

Wel done thou, thats brilliant xx

Thanks for that mum2one, have followed your instructions and am hoping it took off the postage as when I pressed recalculate it was putting it back on again, so ended up just putting 0's in and sending it to them. Have sent them a message saying to let me know if postage still on the invoice.

thanks fo the welcome
i think they can also take it of when making the payment - im sure i have done it before
also was thinking can you ask them to pay you cash on collection to save on paypal fees?

rufusdog52

Good idea thanks will ask them. You can tell I havent sold anything for a few years lol
