I think the bundles sell better on ebay. Personally I like to pay a postage price which gets me a fair bit of stuff. By the time you've added up all the postage for seperate items it costs quite a bit.
I got Josh one of the keyring and badge-making set from Tesco the other day. It kept him busy for a couple of hours!
I bought a little santa outfit from M&S last year in the sale. I've kept the tags on it - it was too small for C, and I'm going to ebay it in December. Only cost me £1!Sealed Pot Challenge #817 £50 banked

i have 2 trunki's (ladybird and tiger) and they are very robust so any problems i'd reckon were a fault with that one item.. ours have been overstuffed, thrown about, stood on.. etc.. I love them and the girls think they were their best christmas presentsLB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
I would list outfits individually Rmac, especially if they are GAP, Next, John Lewis, Mini Mode etc, then bundle anything like sleepsuits. Also have you considered selling through an NCT Nearly New Sale? You get 70% of the sale price but I found that things from good brands well for a reasonable price.:DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator

They have a really good brand reputation so I wouldn't expect it to be a common problem.
TBH I have absolutely no idea how it could have happened, the case was in the official Trunki box but one of the plastic loops which holds the strap on (designed to be strong enough to pull a kid around with) was completely broken off...the bit was inside the box.
Sainsburys don't have any in stock now, bound to be more expensive when they come back in. It's a good job I wanted it for Christmas rather than hols.
11 sleeps to go :j:jplease listen to MFD - she is a wise woman

thanks ladies - its all outfits. The sleepsuits etc were only fit for the bin or were passed onto the charity shop

I like to think I'm reasonable with my postage costs - it just covers what it costs me and I'll happily combine - thanks for reminding me to say that caz!
off to see when the next NCT sale is. Still unsure about what to ask for things
evansangel - thnks for clarifying that. I got an email from ebay and stupidly assumed it would be for everyone
MFD - they were out of stock of the pink ones last night, but emailed me today as they had got more stock -still at reduced price. I STILL don't know what to do!
I can't promise that all my replies will illicit this responser.mac, you are so wise and wonderful, that post was lovely and so insightful!

When i sell things, i do a quick ebay search to see what other people are selling it for
And thats ok, i got excited and checked on ebay and couldn't see anything, so i checked on the ebay thread on here and saw that it was for certain members only.0 -
I would think of a price I'd be happy to get for them, and then start the auction for that much if it's free listing... At least if it only sells for the minimum then you're not going to feel agrieved, and if it's an auction then there's a chance it might go for more...
