how long will it take you to make each page.... what about materials??

I would work out the material cost, add a bit and then add at least min wage for the time it takes.

I'd say at least £8 a page if not more, by the time you use 3 different 12x12 sheets of paper that's £3 ish not counting any embellishments and of course your time.

£5 is way too cheap. I did a 40 page 8x8 album for someone and figured if I'd been charging it would have been about £500 for materials plus time, and I kept it pretty simple too, and used up my scraps where possible rather than cutting into new sheets. So even allowing £20 or so for the album itself, that's £12 per page for an 8x8.

Yes, don't stress over it - it's one of those things - and in my experience people who jump in and offer you these inflated amounts aren't always actually forthcoming when it's time to actually buy/pay. I've ben let down like this before - even when I've gone ahead and paid the 40p to put the item on BIN - they didn't buy in the end - despite a whole afternoon of to-ing and fro-ing with emails! So you could have added BIN to the listing and still not been any better off!
You can't second guess what's in some ebay buyers minds!
