    I want to learn how to ebay :confused:

    I've got a house full of stuff to get rid of :rolleyes:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    I'm starting today - but including anything already listed but not completed yet. So the figure is items that will sell at current sale price. I haven't deducted fees but I haven't added postage either. Wanted it to be easy to track - and "My eBay" gives me this figure without me having to add it up!!

    I wasn't setting rules :) - that's just what I'm doing... but then I haven't sold anything else this month anyway! I'd have thought anything sold in August would count!

    i've put it up as the start figure, and i'll put an updated one alongside, that shouldnt run my sig too much to annoy the mods.
