    You really ought to get some feedback... I'd say at least 10... before you think about selling anything. You won't get many bidders otherwise.

    I disagree.

    It wouldn't worry me if i wanted to buy off someone if they had no feedback. Everyone has to start from somewhere. Some people have different accounts for buying and selling. I do and i didn't have a problem starting selling with 0 feedback.
    Accept that some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue.

    ***NUDGE!***
    R u getting back to me with a price? LOL, I am soooooo impatient! I am willing to pay extra for delivery tomorro (just been looking on parcelforce, £18 for next day delivery) if u r able to get to the post office?

    Oh, and if u still want an 8ft pool, there is 1 on argos with slide and swing fairly cheap

    It might not worry you, but it would worry me and I'm sure I'm not alone :D

    Everyone has to start somewhere... I did, and I started by buying. I tried selling early and got nowhere.

    I'd certainly avoid buying high-value items from a 0 seller... that's scammer territory I'm afraid.
