Just signed up to MISI and added my first lot of items today.

Hope they sell well

1 bid so far on ebay and a fair few watchers. Thnk i may have found a niche, appears to be loads of searches for the item but can't find any sellers Just gotta read through ebay rules and prohibited Items (don't think they are but wanna make sure) then jump in feet first x

Evening everyone!

Not stopping as I have lots to do and if I stop now it'll never get done! Will come back later, catch up with thread, and dutifully dribble.

I listed another 15 items on eBay last night - used turbolister which was a real pain ... until I discovered I could create a template :rotfl: Sold one item on BIN this morning, got a question from someone looking for 2 items (postage to Aus, hey if she wants to pay for it, I have no problem!), 1 bid on an item, and 8 watching the others, so productive listings it looks like! I also sold another 2 items from last week's listings last night. Hardly bucketloads of money, but it all helps. One thing I did was make sure my BIN listings had immediate payment on them (thank you to a couple of dribblers for making me aware of that!) - I've just opened dispute with the BIN buyer from last week who still hasn't paid yet. One thing I absolutely didn't realise (should have done my research) was that if you put something on at 99p for example, but also put a BIN option on, the BIN disappears as soon as someone makes the first auction bid! Grump! Ah well, live and learn.

Back to catch up with you all later - hugs and dribbles

well I made it to the Post Office without having to listen to any dirty talk posted all my parcels but I have another 3 I need to package tonight to send tomorrow. I have had a message from someone who won one of my items who has paid and the parcel has been sent but they are not happy with the p&p charges, slightly naffed off as I don't want them to leave me negative feedback and they were aware of the fee before they paid and I don't think I've overcharged. On a more positive note, all the things I listed from the first box I cleared out from my garage have sold

I need to motivate myself to do a few dooyoo reviews this week, I have a few products I suggested just waiting to be reveiwed and I haven't bothered

Daisy, that's fab! The postage might lower your postage stars, but they shouldn't leave you a neg unless you really overcharged? I know I wouldn't. Could you afford a partial refund of the postage? That might keep them sweet.

I've got the paper ready for one book, OH is gonna help me bind it in a second, and then I'll photograph it. Unsure how it'll look being photographed in the dark but I'll get OH to photoshop it if necessary...I don't know what I'd do without him, lol.

I'm a bit worried, I don't have the arm strength to do a lot of things anymore. I spoke to a GP on the phone who wanted to do muscle wastage tests and scans etc but they hurt so much I'm not keen. Still, it's upsetting.

So those waiting for notebook pics, a few are nearly ready!! I'm excited.

Who does reviews on dooyoo/ciao?? what is it i put on both accounts so i can C&P my reviews from one to another? Also where do I put it and does anyone want to be in my circle of friends??

I would add a sentence into your "About ME" on both sites that reviews will be posted on both. I would also keep the usernames the same on both sites. I don't know if this is foolproof but this is what I do. You can also add a sentence into your reviews if you like.

Both sites have the option to suggest a new category to review in.

Oooooooh photos! Can't wait :-) sorry your arms hurting Saucy, are those tests worth the pain? How much can they tell you?

Good to hear the rats are home...what are they called?.. Did poo exploder catch on?

I just sold my first piece of jewellery on Folksy :j:j:j

Well its been a week of learning for me! Bought a couple of things to resell, the one that I thought would do well didn't (just about broke even, maybe a slight loss ) but the other item did really well. Was a mispelt item which is obviously not going to be a recurring thing but I'll keep my eye out for any more.

Other items bought to resell are going well for a nice profit but its so time consuming and requires LOADS of visits to the post office! Again need to keep my eye on more of the same to buy, was outbid at the last second last night on another lot which was frustrating. Seem to spend half my life looking obsessively on ebay at my own auctions and job lots to buy.

Still, I'm at £400 ish profit now which I wouldn't have achieved without this thread. Thanks guys
