AAAAHHHHHHHHH So i especially put in my description and in the postage detail that i only send within the UK. So someone has bought a set of 3 toys and then emailed saying

'Hallo (yep not Hello) I'm not from the UK, but maybe you can send toys to lithuania'

A little annoyed as she didnt ask beforehand and was bidding for a couple of days!

Also only has 4 feedback!!!

Have to think about how to word my reply

Grrr....that's so annoying LK!! I would just say something like you dont usually send things outside the UK and you would have appreciated her asking you before she bid but on this occasion you will find out the extra cost for postage and once she pays you the extra you will send the items. (ps. charge a little extra for the inconvienience!)

I put on a few things ovet the weekend and the one thing that I still have the tags on (never got round to using it) didnt sell but the cosmetics I put on that have been used (and I stated that they had) sold for the most!!! cant believe it! lol oh well...that's just the wonderful world of ebay I guess!

Had a bidding war going on last night for a lego star wars thing, now at £45 and it only cost £25-30 new so blummin' great! Still about 6 days to go. Advice to anyone with little boys, get them to open their lego boxes very carefully, file away instructions and try not to vacuum up the pieces!!! Six years later make a fortune on ebay!

Wow that is great, you know I hate toys with little bits to them, we always lose most of the stuff and they all end up in bags down the Annex, will be sorting the Annex out 'again' in the Spring and hopefully do a car boot sale.

I'm glad I don't have boys as all the bits of Lego would do my head in, my girls are not the tidiest and always leave stuff lying all over the floor, drives me mad having to clear it all up every evening.

That is so annoying, I usually block bidders from countries I don't ship to so they can't bid, think you do it under Preferences on the Selling form.

My sil is Lithuanian, we went out there last year for their wedding, I must say I thought it was a lovely country. I have sent a few parcels to Lithuania before but did have one go missing once.

Once you have set all the 'bits' up ie. payment details, returns etc it is so easy, I'd be lost without Turbolister.

Mrscmr - just read your message on your diary, try not to let it worry you, does it have your phone number under your address on the invoice you send? I think mine does but am not 100% sure. My address and phone number are on my Business account as you have to have it there, at the moment you can have it on your listing page or in your Shop/About Me Page, soon every business seller will have to have their address/number on the listing page.

Ebay is really going down hill with all these new rules, I'm starting to get fed up with most of it, why can buyers leave stars and neg feedback for a seller but not the other way round, it bugs me, if someone buys something and doesn't pay or doesn't respond to a NPB then a seller should be able to leave a neg so that other sellers can see what sort of buyer they are dealing with.

I noticed on my Business account that I have had a couple of 1s or 2s for postage and I think my charges are reasonable.
