    It's hard sometimes with focus HWG but just look at how far you've come - you're over 50% now so it really is downhill from here. You've done so well, keep going! :)

    Only one person had paid the stupid eBay stuff so I had to make the trip to the post office to post the one 99p item, not good! On the plus side though there was no queue so didn't take too long :)

    £250 to the CC today :)

    I'm going to gigs both tonight and Sat night, working all day Sat and going to my friends on Sun afternoon for a roast and then to the pub for a drink after. So if I squeeze anymore eBay in I will be very impressed! :D

    congrats on the ebay sales! what i normally do is say on the listing when i will go post office eg if it ends sunday i say i will be going on tuesday so please pay then. then if someone pays straight away they cant moan at the delay and it will hopefully give the others incentive to pay. and if they dont you can just go when its convenient next as you told them in the listing so its their fault :p

    That's a really good idea Clippy :D Can't believe I didn't think of that :o

    Would have solved the problem - yesterday I felt I couldn't not go cause it wasn't fair to the guy who had paid but if I'd already said I could have got away with it.

    Does annoy me with the people who haven't paid anyway - they were on there and bidding when the auction finished - why not pay while they're there??!!

    I feel your ebay pain - I had someone buy something on 3rd Feb and STILL haven't paid so have opened up a case with them but doesn't help matters.

    That's the thing isn't it DF - you don't want to have to open the case in the first place :( Why do they do it? If I bid on something on eBay it's because I want it and intend to pay for it, you wouldn't go into a shop and say I'll have that now and I'll come back sometime in the distant future to pay for it!

    Thank you HWG :)

    Had a chat with someone last night about a stall at a craft fair, not sure I have time yet, but will definitely work out if I can.
