Am I being paranoid?

After selling loads of items last week by using the cheap listing day the week before I thought I'd relist some of the items that didn't sell.

I relisted 10 items yesterday on Buy It Now, none had sold this morning but just got back from shopping now to find all TEN have sold. 1 to a buyer who has paid instantly with Paypal, the other 9 have been bought by 1 buyer who only registered today. The items sold for £48.50 in total, although worth about £100 as I listed them all at roughly half the value.

They were all craft items so not paticularly scammers items I would have thought. Each item had a postage quote on it which totalled over £12 individually with a note saying I would combine postage for multiple items (but I didn't say by how much). With the buyer getting 9 items I'm only going to send them Special Delivery now (due to the value) which will cost either £5.70 or £7.40 depending how much packaging weighs.

I'm not holding my breath for payment as somthing just doesn't feel right, I don't know why. DH thinks I'm being paranoid, what do you think?

There's a hell of a lot of buyers out there today, I have been selling BIN items constantly all day and have dozens of parcels to go to the PO tomorrow. It might just be that the rain has pushed people inside and they are browsing ebay instead of doing Bank holiday things, so you should be fine.

As for selling things on a relist, that always surprises me. I did one recently, had been listed several times with no bites, went up again on a cheap listing day and I had three bidders fight over it and went for triple what I expected, very odd.

I wouldn't worry about it. I used to craft myself and sold all my tools etc in bits. A new person won a lot of my items and was one of my best customers. Has there been a craft day on QVC or Ideal today or over the weekend (there usually is for the bank holiday). Don't forget, lots of people are not in work today and will have been thinking what they can do with their hard earned pennies.
