    what challenges? Getting up each day is challenging enough for me at the moment.

    Actually I did write a bit of an essay this morning & then lost it, the gist was I think that I may have to write a list & stick to it. A complete timetable for the day, I have so much that I should be doing that I don;t know where to start & need to kick myself up the rse quickly.
    Do I go for an amount of time to sort out ebay, or number of items listed?
    Best do numbers of listings, else I'll sit in the ebay room doing nothing.
    Right from tomorrow, a minimum of 15 listings a day for the rest of July.

    That will be 435 items by the end of the month. Right that's what I'm going to do.

    It can't get any worse.
    It's to start tomorrow 15 every day. At least, not including relists!
    Aim high & all that.

    Morning all, beautiful day in Sunny Devon, Floxxie I hope that you're feeling better.
    To make up for my bad start I should do 45 today, yikes.
    Good luck to us all.
    My main problem is I gave notice to Virgin for internet & phone & it expires on 7th so I will then be cut off in my prime, being rubbish I haven't arranged another supplier yet. So much to do so little motivation.

    :jWelcome back Soolin.

    Thank you

    I'm worried though that you have things listed and might have no internet :eek: Admittedly it was ages ago but when I last changed supplier it all went wrong and I was offline for a few days.

    I just got back to a second neutral (in 6 months) on my private account. Buyer bought something old and tatty and said it was old and tatty but basically then went on to say that fair do the seller had warned them in the description. He also hammered my 'item description' star as I've got a 1 or 2 star feedback left warning on my expanded dashboard. It doesn't hurt overall as it's still showing 4.9 across the board, but I'm cross as even the buyer said he knew what he was buying when he bid.

    I do have a dongle so will use that, I may end up staying with Virgin as the others may be cheaper but talk talk I feel are stalking me, they're phoning me umpteen times a day, looking on here they aren't brilliant if something goes wrong. I called BT to see if there was a BT line into the house, I wouldn't be going with them but they wanted to know everything including my Mothers maiden name, I don't know what that has to do with them checking to see if there's ever been a BT line. I assume there would have been as it's an old house. All other suppliers want to know that there's a line before they'll really even talk to you. I didn't realise that it was so difficult..
    Buyers do make me laugh, he bought something that as described & he knocks your stars, and gives a neutral, plonker.
    My dsr for as described got a 1 & the only feedback that I had, although positive was for a pair of vintage all leather boots, inc sole, only worn a couple of times they smelt musty, could that be because they're 30 years old & leather is a natural material. I'm on 4.79 for desc so not too bad. The same for P&P charges, most I obly add 50p onto & several times I've undercharged by quite a lot, when I sell enough I will treat myself to some decent scales.
