Oooh nice coffee table! Hope it sells well for you.

already have one for my own use which costed £6 at a car boot sale a couple of years ago

people at boot sales don't seem to know the value of furniture as the sellers seem more bothered about getting to know the value of the bric-a-brac they sell

Thanks

I have added a comment about further pictures being provided on request

Also i hope whoever wins in is intelligent enough to know whether the back of their car will be big enough (although some ebay bidders do seem to be a bit lacking in the old intelligence department as can be seen from the ebay board)

True, lol!

I did once have someone send me a picture of their car (the outside of it not the inside!) and ask if an item would fit in it... after I had provided measurements!! :rotfl: Had to bite my tongue when replying to that one!!!

Bear in mind everyone, the new ebay adverts started this weekend and run until christmas - usually leads to quite a few sign ups and new bidders. I've not had a problem with newbies before (its the established users who've given me trouble!! :rolleyes: ) but its worth bearing in mind!

Hi everyone!

A quick question. Say I listed a few ‘free’ items on ebay and they did not sell. Do I deduct the loss of fees from my total, or ignore it and only account for any profit made?

Another point – Can I count in any wages from a second job? Probably not… hah?

Thank you.

in my opinion

for the first question you'd have to deduct the fees as you spent the money on the fees

on the second question people are counting mystery shopping jobs which count as a second job so i don't see why not. The job isn't costing you anything and under a strict definition looking at charity shops counts as a job as its taking my time and making me extra money

Mine. I have relisted it tonight because it didn't sell in the crafts category. I've moved it to the Christmas cracker category even though it would be nice for a birthday present. What category would you guys have put it in?

Hey jobbingmusician - I think I've cracked the putting our secret code in white type bit......am waiting to see if the item in question show up in searches. SUCH a top idea!!!

I LOVE searching the code and checking out my fellow MSE'er items - some are on my watchlist cos I really like them!

Ben - am loving Cosmos!!!

I've made an extra £21 on matched betting tonight so that can go on to my total.
