    What would I do without all of you :rotfl:

    You'd be a lot saner....probably...:rotfl:
  • Paula - you started making Sulkie how many days ago? And already you have sold 4? and got at least 2more orders. To me, that shows that you have a fab creative side, ok, so some ideas aren't that good, but you never know unless you try! Can you paint little red hats on them and save them for Xmas (Bah humbug?), people always were earrings like that at Xmas, its just the done thing!
    Oh, can it hold a sign saying "Dribblers United" and were nipple tassles and manky shoes? Classy!

    Mabel - you are welcome!

    MMTWGR - pmsl at the mental image!

    Nixi - shoot, forgot we have loads of lurkers! Oh, well! The bloke that sells them should give me a % for commission sales!

    NIDL - that would be funny, but when I googled Mankini, there weren't some seriously disturbing images that came up along those lines!

    I'm a wiggly worm, I'm a wiggly worm, how do you do, I love you, I'm wiggly worm!

    Hello everyone!
    Well, it's final, Ebay has pronounced me a business! No appeals to their non- existent better nature would persuade them otherwise! I have no idea how they came to this conclusion other than that they just replied and said,
    "I have now reviewed your account and can confirm that the selling
    activity indicates that your account is functioning as a business."

    I don't know if it's because I was continually relisting the 99p junk I didn't sell every week:rotfl:or the £5 worth of stuff I sold most weeks :rotfl:- some business!
    So I cannot list anything now until I upgrade - I suppose it's time to bite the bullet and decide what I'm actually going to really sell to make a living, start designing a website (if only I could!), give Ebay the flick and get serious - anyone want that pile of junk under my bed?:rotfl:

    Hugs mrs money....stoooopid Ebay :-( Still it might just be the motivation you need I suppose is the positive way of looking at it? You can still use Ebay-registering as self employed is easy (honest-if I can do it anyone can) and just carry on with what you were doing til you decide what you want to sell.

    Yeah, I could but - who wants pay to list something, pay exit fees and Paypal when it only sells for 99p? I just don't think it's worth it and I'm cross with them:mad:

    Yeah I see your point hun. Are you doing car boots? perhaps get rid of some stuff like that and then use that money to start selling something else from your own site? (easier said than done i know)
