I just had to tell you this. I'm waiting for payment for a DVD from someone in Spain. I emailed them this morning asking if they are paying as they clicked BIN about 3 days ago. She emailed back saying the listing says she has to pay the postman when he delivers the DVD!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this a new service being provided by Royal Mail!!!! This did make me laugh

:rotfl:ask her if she is expecting Pat & Jess to deliver it? Maybe she should have gone to specsavers like Pat:rotfl:

I can totally suggest looking under the bed for items to sell! Just found a magazine that I bought for £3.99 is going for £8 and some old trainers of mine are really rare and are going for up to £40! Also, while I was rooting around under the bed I found a load of empty bubblewrap envelopes so that's some free packaging sorted for a while I wonder what else lurks beneath that I can sell :eek:

I'm back up to 16 things listed which feels a lot better. I have 2 magazines and the trainers so i'll list them and call it a night I think.

Under my bed is all my Ebay stuff that I have listed, once I list it I take it upstairs and either hang stuff in the wardrobe or put things that are not clothes or smaller items of clothes in plastic boxes under the bed, even the kids bed has got some stuff under it.

so if an item cost you £5 to buy and u could sell for £7.50 are we saying that is a good return?

JesaRose

I work in retail and we mark up products at 2.5 times the purchase price

So for us a £5 purchase should sell at £12.50

However I am not sure what a good mark-up on eBay should be but I don't think £2.50 is great, especially when you have to take out fees, packaging etc
