The tiny spider that taught me a big lesson....

Morning

Did ok on my list yesterday. Only got 60 questions done but will not beat myself up about it and will try and catch up on them today.

My ebay items went for £185.42 :T. But, and this is a big but, the winner of the necklace (£104) was the same guy who offered me £150 for it and then I never heard from him again. I have given him until Wednesday to at least contact me to say yes I am intending on paying for it and if he doesn't then I will offer it to the next winning bidder (£102). I have contacted that bidder too asking if they would buy it on a 2nd chance offer as if they won't I don't want to waste my time and will just relist it. This is why I hate eBay sometimes :mad:. Another 9 items are also waiting to be paid so I can't quite get my passport yet. As long as I can do it by the end of the week, I should be ok.

Right, off to do my mystery shops and post ebay stuff. Want them done and written up by lunchtime.

Emily don't think all is lost. I have had this before, someone asking for a BIN price and then bidding. In the end they paid Maybe he decided to bid and see if it went cheaper and thus saving himself £40+. Obviously thats not too good for you but at last it sold. Fingers crossed he pays.

I hope I am not steping on your toes but do send it special delivery so that its covered through royal mail.

Hi PaP

He bid on it before he asked for the BIN price and then didn't get back to me. I am just worried that he bid on it early and then lost interest. He only has 5 feedback too (no negatives though).

Ohh that doesn't sound too good then. Fingers crossed he pays, you have the option of a npb strike anyway. Keep us updated, its a lot of money isn't it

Still no money for the necklace . The second chance offer bidder has said that they would buy but she is from Lithuania. She has 207 feedback and seems to buy a lot of jewellery so hopefully she is genuine. I usually avoid overseas bidders as sometimes they are con-artists. What do we think?

Hi

I finally got it sorted. Sold to the 2nd bidder in the end and have opened a dispute with the winning bidder. Took me a few days to get my money though and really didn't think they were going to pay. I have therefore managed to pay for my passport with the proceeds of my eBay sales.

Put in for the passport on Wednesday, took some photos along that I already had and the post office woman said I couldn't use them as my mouth was slightly open :mad:. Had to spend another £5 to get some more done there and then. Unfortunately, I had a really bad night's sleep on Tuesday and therefore one of my eyes was red and swollen. I swear these photos make me look like I am on crack!! They are awful and I have to put up with it on my passport for 10 years!

Hi, thanks for reading and subscribing .

63336 is the text answering service that used to be AQA. See www.63336.com for more details. They basically hire self-employed people to answer questions. You get 30p a question and can do it whenever you have spare time.

No way! How ridiculous is that?! Glad you eventually got your money from ebay though- I'm just starting to sell things but it does put you off when you hear about bad experiences.

Hope you have a good day x
