    And you admit it! I;d take your extra P&P out of your listing you will eventually get reported or a buyer will rightfully refuse to pay it and neg you.

    sorry...lol!! forgot the little man at the end that does this.... :rotfl:

    ok.. so it wasn't funny..(sorry cyberbob too!!) but I really have had it with listing on ebay today....been trying a new auctionlisting tool since I cancelled Auctiva - didn't want to attempt turbolister as that drove me mad when I used to use it before!!

    Grrrr!!!.. why can't listing on ebay be quick and easy!!!!!

    plus I am on my second glass of pimms since finishing and getting all my items loaded... and having to go in and revise each of them TWICE!!

    Oh, and to get back onto the topic of this thread... the things that put me off a listing are:

    bad spelling
    awful colours (like Cyberbob had pointed out before I went off topic! :o)
    excessive postage
    bad pictures...the type where people seem to hang their items on a coathanger in front of a dining room full of trash.. or on a wardrobe where the door is hanging off!!

    Saying that, I saw a top in Next I really liked ...£28 and I put it back on the shelf..cause I am trying to be good and not buy things i don't need!

    there was one exactly the same on ebay, BNWT ..picture was on an awful knackered old wardrobe, top was on a hanger on the wardrobe doorknob but was hanging at a funny angle and you couldn't see it properly (they hadn't edited the photo so you could see the top properly..it was miniscule in the middle of the picture!!)..you could see the dressing table with photos and empty cups and things on it..I would not normally even give it a second glance but I knew it was the top I wanted in the store and I got it for £1.99.. there was one that finished 4 hours later that went for £14!

    The top has been washed about 4 times and I haven't worn it yet!! :D
