EBAY Question - a lady emailed me and said she was interested in alot of my stuff but would I combine the postage. A lot of it is on at 99p. So not sure on what to do????

I always combine see what it all totals up when auction ends and knock a little bit off price of postage! Up to you though hun if its going to make no difference if they are all posted together say no!

Bingo was fun tonight and I am still playing trying to get my 2000 points played! Will redeem then fingers crossed its before 10pm!

Gotta tell you all

Esmer I would say yes you will combine postage, depending on what you are selling (and the weight of each item) I usually add somewhere between 50p and £1 for each additional item bought. Don't quote her a postage price, wait to see how much she bids on and then you will be able to send her one invoice with one postage charge on it. HTH x

Won on bp tonight, first time in a while. Up to 7000 points now so slowly getting there
Managed to get a couple of things in the Boots sale - £55 of stuff for £13, well happy and Boots points too of course. Didn't think about paying with my card doh. Might go back on Friday to see what else they have....

Bought my ds a ds (ha) on ebay tonight - well he has actually bought it himself out of his moneybox cash bless him. His works intermittantly and I told him that if he wanted a new one he needed to buy it himself, got it for £50 including a couple of games so quite happy with that. Will sell his old one so will make some money back on it.
Posted 15 ebay parcels this morning, have 8 things relisted of which 2 are selling and 2 others have watchers on. Have made some decent money this month, so am quite chuffed with that. Got lots still to list so may do the descriptions and photos and wait for the next free listing weekend

Must be the night of it Legend. OH and I were out walking the dogs and he said 'look at that star its all flashy'..... enough said I think!

Esmer I would do exactly as Legend suggested. See what she wins then send the invoice with the reduced postage costs

PS where's Elysia got to... Was she on Bingo tonight? Hope she's ok!

Legendmum

Think its actually Elysia's DD Elysias Birthday today! Dont quote me though! If it is Happy Birthday Elysia! Very confused now too many Elysia's in one sentence!

Or it could be cos she was up all night on the Boots thread waiting for the sale and is snoozing happily in her bed!

I dunno I could just be blatently lieing!

Hi people, good to get on bp tonight even if it was a fleeting visit for me. I did manage one post,,lol I really want to find time to get some surverys done, just got alot on atm,,well always lol
Got a couple of evenenings painting to get hall stairs landing woodwork all finished. OH surprised me today, he had a cupboard made to cover the gas meter and pipes at bottom of our stairs, its really lovely, same oak as our floor. It was such an eyesore but not now! I think he felt he should do something as I have done all the painting.
Have chucked some coins in my sealed pot too, the kids have started giving me their coppers!
I have also been surprised with my Jan ebay sales,,one weeks listings made £47 so thankyou for this challenge I am going to try list more this weekend!
Have had a few spends, dd needed undies and they all needed joggers so spent on kids clothes this week. Had ds1 15th bday last sun too so bought stuff for him too.

I did manage to buy a fab bargain in matalan, infact i went back for 6 more! Its a bathroom speaker, its for any ipod/mp3 player, it works on the new ipods aswell as the old ones. It flips open and u place ur ipod inside, its waterproof however we put it on the windowsill not in the shower just incase!!
The sound is fabulous, really didnt expect such good sound its much better than the one i bought from amazon. So now we have ds1 listening to his music in the bathroom when he showers NOT blasting it out thru the house!
They are £3 reduced from £12 and buy one get one free!! So infact £1.50 each!! I have bought one each for all my neices and nephews for bdays /xmas 2011!!!
I still havent got to the building society yet to pay in my supermarket savings, still only £8 worth but thats good thats because I am sticking to my grocery challenge on another thread.
Have a great week all, thanks again to all who post, I dont post so much now as working alot but I do love to read posts to keep me motivated and encouraged!

Welldone on all your brillian wins on bingo port.
I really wanted a win so i could redeem but never mind.
Sounds like some of you got some good buys from boots. I have not managed to get to a boots my self and everything oos online. May nip to my tiny local one tomorrow but they only had about ten things in the range to start with so not hopeful.
I feel like i am not getting any where with things this week and have not managed to do as much as other weeks. Hopefully I will get back into all the mse soon.
Off to bed now.:D
