10 new listings so far, am saving a couple of items for about 7.30. Have had to switch my computer off and back on again a couple of times as it keeps making some of the text invisible.

Slow progress - Just 23 of my 88 items listed so far. Can't beleive I'm still listing tops. Why do clothes take so long to describe? About to have a tea break. Feel I deserve it!

managed to list 37 new, not reached the 150 active I was hoping for but think Its time to call it a day,when you have to revise a listing that is supposed to be starting £1.50 and you list it for £150.00, good job its free listing:o

What do most people do about posting to Europe & the rest of the world- Signed or not signed, Iv'e been checking prices and the difference between signed & not signed is a lot, example to post a pair of trousers using Airmail Packets weighing 350g to Europe not signed is £2.77 signed is £6.47. Rest of world not signed is £4.83 signed is £8.53. If I quote my prices for signed and adding on about £1.50-£2.00 for packaging then is anyone going to bother buying my stuff? But if I go for unsigned then I have to take the hit if they get lost don't I? What does everyone else do ?

Also I have been weighing my items and then adding about 20g for packaging and using that to calculate postage. Is 20g about right for packaging ? Bubble Wrap & brown paper or plastic & parcel tape.

Everything up to £39 goes unsigned as I'm covered with a COP as I am for sales in the UK. I don't sell items over £39 outside the UK as the costs are prohibitive as you need to add enhanced insurance as well.

neither International signed for or airsure guarantee a signature naymore anyway.

Anything of lower value I send by normal Airmail or Surface Mail; if it gets lost I put a claim in with RM. If it is of value or more than £39 I tend to use a courier service.
