  • Spud-just get on there and sign up, then follow the instructions. It's not hard and you are clever.

    Or, get someone to do it for you.

    Sal, my DMP started off at 29 years I think. It's now around 14 years :o

    We've got a house full of [STRIKE]cra[/STRIKE] stuff we'd happily sell. I could be debt free much sooner......if only I knew how to ebay :rolleyes:


    and I have told you many a time that I would help you hun. Go and take some photos of 2 items tonight. Do you have an account already set up?

    evening all -

    i am very proud.. i made roasted vegetables and gammon steak for tea (kindly provided by my mother)

    then i used all the left over veggies, mini leeks, parsnips, carrots, plum tomatoes, onion with more tomatoes and italian herbs back into the oven with olive oil, have blitz it and is now in the freezer for pasta sauce....

    that is *very* nigella old school for me as i never cook much...

    can i have a round of applause please.






    and even better, erin is away to my mums for the night as mum was here, erin has school in the village in the morning so to save me getting up on the bank holiday when i'm off work, mum is having her....



    can't think what i'm going to be doing instead tonight, :wink: but it starts with a long hot bath and some shaving of legs!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Honestly Spud it's easy and painless - just start with one item and take it from there. We can all help if you need us.

    That sounds like a better idea - I'm sure there's a shop near here that does it ;)

    I think I need to sit with someone and watch them do one. It really does fill me with fear - I know I'm a wuss :o

    Spud you need to put in your listing that all items over a certain amount will automatically be sent recorded (covers you for £39 if it gets lost) and you will get proof of sending for all other parcels, therefore anything that goes missing is not your responsibility. TBH I think in the 10 years I have been using ebay ive had maybe 1 or 2 problem parcels and I have bought or sold over 800 items
