Aww Nicki that sucks- would have thought that Ebay should be able to rectify it seeing as buyer didn't contact you? I know they are not great towards sellers but hope you can get it sorted :-/

I just responded stating that all my listings stated that if the buyer has any problems then they should contact me in the first instance. Also put that if I had been made aware of the problem I would have refunded right away.

Will dispute any negitive feedback though, And (even though its naughty) i'll jut list from OH's account as he still has !00% feedback.

On a more positive note, does anyone want a an email with a link to join pinecone surveys? £3 per survey and there pretty simple. PM me your email and ill send it on. Its really hard to find the banners.

Don't worry there are lots of us like that at the mo, me especially. I go to bed make lots of lists of things to sell, house work that needs doing etc etc and 24 hours later make another list. I have a least 10 lists now that say the same thing :rotfl::rotfl:

I blame the weather, I think I'll go and see Amber in the sunshine and make her list things on eBay.... you will list... you will list....

I'm sorry but I have to disagree,take the challenge seriously 'IF' you want it bad enough.......no one else is going to do it for you.
I hear this off lots of people in different walks of life,they always have an excuse for when things don't go to well.I feel I'm wasting my time sometimes.
Decide what you want,take it seriously,it's great lots of you have made friends and share what you're doing for tea.Personally,this is detracting from what this thread was about,if you want to get back and talk about the main ideas etc,etc....then great,but for the sake of many people who dont want to read dribble,please make your minds up ! :mad:
(Please dont think I'm a killjoy,it's just boring reading all the trash )

it has taken me forever to catch up tonight, the pages kept moving on when i thought i was getting to the end. had another £27 on ebay today - makes up for the dire week i had last week but i think most of us were in the same boat, just need another £2 this week and have hit my target for the month(like my targets and % keeps me motivated! easy pleased) not listing until the weekend but have a couple ongoing.
looks as though cake business is never going to be more than a hobby for friends speaking to someone who looked into it -require 3 sinks, stainless steel worktops, seperate cupboards, fridge chart for temp the list goes on and on dont think the o/h would be too chuffed at ripping the kitchen apart! quite gutted actually as it was something i could see myself doing, oh well back to the drawing board - onwards and upwards,
hang in there folks

You do need a fridge chart, but they are easily printed for free from the web...you don't always need three sinks and stainless steel surfaces, though, my mum did it for a while and we only had one sink and our surfaces certainly weren't stainless steel!

Alternatively, increase your numbers of 'friends' - there's plenty of people on here and, i imagine, in other places you might go to regularly. Also friends of friends and friends of them... I read somewhere - http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTMC_85.htm - (here in fact) that it's important to build upon the things that ARE going right rather than focus on fixing the things that aren't so great. Good luck x

I agree...I love this thread, but I do think the chat is important. Good ideas come from chat...I am taking it seriously, and working towards the challenge, it's nice to be able to talk with the other people doing it too.

Bingo we need a new thread actually as this one has got up to 136 pages so I far and I as under the impression we should only go up to 100?

anyway, I've FINALLY caught up with the thread and I can't believe I missed out on all the FEET discussion!! Had a pretty good giggle though!!!

My January totals so far look like this:
Ebay £40 (but have about £10 fees to come off and still some unpaid items)
Play.com £69 (box set sold)
BingoBritain £39
Commision £20 (from the network marketing thing i do part time)

So overall I'm looking now at £168 which I would not have had in my bank account if it wasnt for this thread, the motivation and everyone who regularly posts on here.

my huge dilemma now is do i reinvest or do I pay it off my credit card debt (of which I have a mountain) ... Still undecided. Although so far everything I have sold has been stuff from home and my spare room is still full of bags of stuff to sell... so technically I havent invested my £100 yet!!

Anyway, good luck everyone, it's inspiring to see some of the big totals on here. must update my signature at some point will wait a few days after the ebay paymenst get sorted
