Well done on both your ebay and amazon sales - sprinkle some selling dust on me pleez.

'Fraid I don't know how to do sprinkles on here - I can do it in word.

How about a BIG WHINGE for all us MSE Amazonians?

FFM, smug? Nooooo... but tell me how on earth you could sit for HOURS to write 80 listings? I write around 40 ebay listings per week, admitedly there are 3 or 4 detailled photos and careful descriptions (all china) but I can only list around 20 in a sitting before running screaming around the room.

You deserve your sales, well done

I think I've seen your shop and items whilst browsing (the name and motif would fit) and if it is yours then I think you deserve a medal for the detail you go to.

My listings were spaced over 3 evenings because Ebay extended the 5p listing because some sellers had problems.

The photos were taken and formatted by my OH, so that was one less chore. My descriptions are not over fancy either, although I think I include all the relevant points.

Compared to Amazon though it was hard work!!! But somehow Ebay seems more fun - not sure why

Totally off topic but I have to share - I just got an email, the sender is comelookatmenaked@ *******:eek: but the subject was a paypal notification, I wasn't expecting a payment and with a senders name like that I assumed that it was a new kind of spam email - I decided to go to my paypal account first before I opened the email, it was all legit!!!! it was a BIN purchase that I hadn't had notification for yet. What a stupid email address...

I think I'd be tempted if it was me. Bet they're about 95, no teeth and need a darn good ironing!

Hi all, thought it was about time I joined 'the club', can I have a number too please miss? (Perhaps I should re-phrase that - at 41 yo, I'm capable of going to the bathroom on my own!).

Anyway, well done all you lucky sellers :T , I've been listing on Amazon & GreenMetropolis for about 3 weeks now with only a couple of hundred books between the two. I'm also slowly putting some basic ebay ads together in Tur*olister ready for free or cheap listing days.

Still waiting for my 1st sale - maybe it will come before Christmas and I can buy all the local orphans a Chrissie prezzie with the 50p profit;) .

Can I have a number, please.
