    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I'm loving your enthusiasm.

    My challenge money is sort of already spoken for with different bits and bobs, it's broken into 3 different pots which I need for various things.
    Got some niggly debts I want to pay off with it and can't justify booking a holiday when we've got so much stuff to clear :mad:

    I'm always open to new ideas at making extra cash though! I've exausted most options...! :rotfl:

    Feel right encouraged now Jesa, you've spurred me on to hunt for some ebay-able stuff :D
    (and off she runs to place some free ads in local paper :D )

    Just remembered I used a 75p coupon on my shopping today so I have saved something! I'll add the cash to my pot. :)

    Also had a letter from consumerpulse on Saturday inviting me to sign up so I've done that. Well done on the book Jesarose! I love it when I manage things like that.

    We got married last year - a year ago yesterday - and we were so careful withthe gift list asking for money. We tried to make it very very clear that we did not expect presents, and had a list with things that literally started from a couple of £s but would make us happy!

  • Good to read the enthusiasm on this thread. I may not post much, but I do read this thread when I can.

    I'm doing OK this month, but just had an email from a buyer from Amazon strongly stating their discontent that the book they bought from me has a different cover than the one on Amazon.

    I'm shocked at the tone of the email. Does it really matter that much. I'm from the 'Don't judge a book by its cover' school :p:D

    I've given a full refund because I don't know what else to do - but now they have a book for nothing and I've lost out on the cost of the book and the postage - I'm down about £10. Can anyone suggest how I should deal with this situation... in case it happens again?

    Still, another lesson learned about selling online. Be pedantically accurate about everything you sell :o It's not put me off, will just try not to get caught again.

    hiphouse I always try to make sure anything like a different cover is stated very clearly in my item description. Then if the is any come back I'll send a copy of the item description in response. Sadly though it is one of hte pitfalls of selling and I'd probably end up giving a full refund to the customer. Have a look on the Amazon selling board for more advice.

  • Thanks RuthieJane for your response. Just wanted to be sure that giving a full refund was the right thing to do. I'm now very careful in my descriptions... lesson learned!
