    It is very quiet on Ebay at the moment, in past years August has been my busiest month (business wise) but so slow so far, although other sellers selling the same sort of stuff seem to be selling more than me, can never work out how that happens. Also amazing the amount of Private sellers selling the same stuff as me who should be Businesses.

    We are away on Friday until Monday so will be putting my holiday settings on. I've stopped selling lots of stuff to Europe now as I've had 3 or 4 missing parcels the last week and just don't want to take the risk anymore.

    Gingababe, can you just override the conditions by selecting 'next' or whatever the box says at the bottom. I've had this for a few weeks as ebay are changing the options so on certain items you have to put a condition in. I've just pressed 'next' and it lets me list them.

    Surprisingly my buyer didn't collect; eBya have said that I cancel the transaction for non-payment but it has gone all quiet when I highlighted that the buyer had in fact paid but I had refunded his payment when he agreed to pay cash on collection, and if I put in a non-paying bidder he will argue he had paid...grrr!!

    There are now two places where the condition has to be noted. In the usual drop down bit in item specifics, and then once you've done that you get another box appear where you have to note it again.

    Hi

    Glad to see you back mrscmr.

    Hopefully there will be a free listing day/weekend soon as I have so much to get listed and I need motivation. Am concentrating on Business stuff at the moment, in the past August has been my busiest month but not this year.

    How's the Business going mrscmr? Hope you are selling lots of stuff.
