    I'm still here, just winding down a bit ready for my holidays. I don't like to have too much stuff finishing in the last couple of weeks before I go. So I'm busy loading business items onto Turbolister and will upload them all the night before I leave and set them for 10 days so they finish the day after I get back.

    I'm laying off the private account a bit, I dread getting a forced upgrade email. I've got the stuff going that I listed last week on the fLD and a few other 99p items but barely anything really.

    It sounds like you are doing well, just remember that you will need to keep good records for the tax man though. Don;t get caught out in a panic when it's time to do your accounts.

    I just had my own mini panic, I'd checked something this morning and as I had a nice round feedback figure it stuck in my mind. Just logged back in to answer a question and my feedback was one less and of course i panicked thinking i had a neg. However, on checking no new feedback has been left and i still have 100% , just one less score than i had previously, so someone has probably been removed form ebay and my feedback has gone with it. Thank heavens for that, for a split second my heart was going 'bang bang bang'.

    Most my listings end in another 3 days! Havent had many bids last couple days, but up to £99.80 combined for all my items, only usually list free listing days and try to do what i can then

    I keep expecting them to end tonight (7 days) but 3 days to go now!
    Really hope i dont get asked to upgrade, i list a lot - but only free listing days! hmm

    It is very quiet on here.....

    I have been quiet because I have been busy! Just withdrawn £150 from Paypal although still have fees and some postage to take out of that but quite a few items have gone from the eBay room.

    Not sure whether the footie is putting people off; it's the usual story for me, plenty of watchers but not bids :mad:

    How's everybody else getting on?

    My usual stuff is struggling to sell at decent prices but some of my speculative stuff is going crazy. I have something finishing soon that someone else has had go unsold for £19.99 previously, I started mine on an auction at £19.99 and it currently stands at £65.

    I've another item that I started really cheaply as completed listings suggested it really didn't sell, yet mine is over £20 already and it doesn't finish until tomorrow.

    It's actually a bit worrying.

    Ive had a lot unsold - but like soolin. I put something on rather than charity shop it, and it sold really well...

    I've had items not sell twice and then have a bidding war - not sure whether factors such as weather, football, day of the week has had an impact?

    Just checked my seller's dashboard and I have an 'at risk' flag against 'private' - uh oh :eek: Now that is crazy as you all know how rubbish I am at actually getting items listed :o

    Think I shall list as many 99p items as I can before I am made a 'business'

    Whereabouts is the warning flag? I wasn't aware they did that, if you can describe where it is then it may well be useful to post on the ebay board as others might be interested. Is it on the main page or on your seller dashboard?
