    Hi all. Here's an idea for you which my parents went for. There has been a lot of talk about the hassle involved in taking photos, listing items, sending items off, and dealing with customer problems. Has anyone considered using an eBay broker or agent to basically cut all those issues out and just receive the cash? The official brokers are labelled as 'Trading Assistants' and can be searched for within eBay by postcode... just a thought.

    The question is, if you sold this way, would you still be part of the challenge? ;-)

    What a bizarre post :rotfl:

    Sorry ladies for not posting for a few days - I couldn't find out where to find my subscriptions on this new look forum :rotfl:

    Anyway, haven't listed anything new on eBay although have a got a number of items ready to go tomorrow evening and plenty more to add tomorrow.

    Sold used cloth nappies for £80 after fees. Still sorting out some gold to sell. And had a fantastic surprise when a previous buyer who had taken an extra item free of charge from me, sold it and sent the money back to me a year later. How lovely is that? She sent a really lovely card but didn't put in her address details :mad: Will do some detective work on this...

    Hope you are all well.

    Hello mrscmr, lovely to see you back here. Hope you stay around even if life is hectic ;)

    Have managed to list 29 today and just preparing my next batch to put on tomorrow night. I might even manage to get a few more listed tonight as I have 11 photos prepared.

    May was a quiet month as I was away for 10 days, but made £40. Unfortunately, I was then tempted to buy a True Blood DVD boxed set (Series 1 & 2) from Amazon Marketplace for £34 (it's usually £60!) :( I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing. A bit like this: :EasterBun

    Anyway, I listed 28 items today, so I'll see how well these do.

    Why is stuff taking so long to show up on Ebay? I listed 4 things about an hour and a half ago and they are still not showing, they are on My Ebay page but not when I click the link on my Favourites to show my listings. I've not had this with my Personal account before they normally show up straight away, this happened with my second Business account as I hadn't used it much for selling so understand that but am annoyed that these listings are not showing up yet.
