It doesn't. I just loaded one on, and it cost 20p in total, 15p for the gallery pic, and 5p for insertion.

How is everyone doing? I haven't been on the boards for a while now, but logged in and saw this thread which inspired me to go list half my house today :j :eek:

Just finished and am at the grand total of 12.50 already, which doens't yet cover the fees :rolleyes: but they've only been up there for an hour or so so fingers crossed.

Any progress for everyone else?

we have sold our first item today but they paid by pay pal and as it was a credit card payment and husband only had the basic account it refused to allow it. he has uped his account now and emailed the buyer to do it again i just hope she understands about what happened and wll do the payment again.

Let me tell you the wonderful couple of days i've had.

Yesterday I decided to try and download the turbo lister (so that I could press a button and they'd go). I've used it on another computer before and loved it.

So i turned on the computer, and OH came over to me and said 'the broad band is playing up'. Playing up? It took me three attempts to get it to connect! Of course this led to a row as I blamed him (well he's the one that told me) It's actually tiscali that's the problem but never mind.

By 2pm I was on my second attempt at downloading it, and completely annoyed. So I left it for a few hours because i may have chucked the mouse through the screen!

I went through my list of 27 items and decided they all had to go. I tried again at 5pm to download turbolister,but with no luck. So i decided i would put all the listings on Thursday, hoping the broadband would improve.

Well today I actually managed to list 13 items, and sell 2, but I haven't listed everything I wanted to. Ebay itself has been possibly the worst I have ever seen it, constantly having server errors and even not letting me log on.

That was the rant over!

On a positive note sold two items for £4.50 each which I bought for £2. Result!!!
Hope everyone else is doing well!

Now that you have a premier account, which is what you need to sell on ebay, then remember to factor in the paypal charges that will be taken on every future transaction.

On smaller amounts it can make a lot of difference to see the charge, and make the difference between listing an item on ebay, and donating it to the charity shop.

Yay ! Got my first lot of listings on yesterday, using the Turbo Lister, I was having major issues with ebay itself (this page is not responding type errors) so decided it might be easier to Turbo List and it was awesome ! Am going to spend the weekend turfing stuff out to chuck on there now !!!

Well my total (auctions not finished yet) are running at £12.48, which is great, I've got loads of watchers so I'm hoping I'll get lots of last minites bids that will push the total way up.
I love the last hour or so watching to see what happens.
