    Speaking of Twilight, how come people on Folksy get away with using copyrighted stuff? There are tons of things in there using Twilight images - surely they would get done big style? Surprised Folksy let them even post it, as there might be comeback on them if they were caught. I am so careful only to use stuff I'm allowed to and credit where the images etc. are from and it really hacks me off. There's one set of stamps that I could sell shedloads of domino necklaces with those images on (beautiful art nouveau style fairies) if I was allowed, but they don't have an angel policy so I don't. Grrrrr.

    I'm amazed at the amount of Twilight items that are going too. If it was just one or two, I could understand, but it's every other item!!!
    As to the stamps, if you think they'd do that well, is it worth making your own stamp? I don't know anything about this area, but surely somewhere could create stamps from an image given to them or something?

    My friend has a rabbit called 'Stew', sadly it didn't click for about 6months as all I associated it with was Stewie from Family Guy! It wasn't 'til I saw it written down that I noticed it *doh!*

    Sorry, thought I was helping, oh well.

    Thanks, have listed some bits now! And I thought you had mentioned basic terms, you said personal not business? Anyway, glad you did post it!!!

    And why not coffee, JK and internet all in one?! I'm sure JK slows me down, but I'm more inclined to work with it on, so I'm sure it all evens out!

    Argh. just found out OH has been booking driving lessons that we can't afford this month. Of coure he apparently told me but he never mentioned it when I left it out the budget!

    I'm really starting to reent the fact that he thinks the moneys endless especially since I've went without for over a year to clear his debts!

  • Hi everyone,
    thought id join in after reading through the thread. Decided to list of things from around my house/shed on ebay.
    So far listed 7 things. Some of which are job lots from when I shut down my buisness and some just stuff we dont need/use anymore.
    Not sure what yet, but id like to start and buy and sell on ebay etc. Anyone any pointers?

    Its a great thread and really insipring!
