    One question, on a free listing day is things listed under a pound free or anything?

    As I understand it, on any 'normal' day you can list anything for 99p or under for free, ebay then takes their final value fee and then paypal their percentage. On a free listing weekend, you can list anything starting at any price for free (buy it now still costs %of the price), then still have to pay final ebay fee and paypal fees.

    Still can't believe that CM last night. She had her knickers right in a twist about CAPITALS. I think as long as someone isn't writing everything in caps, i.e. the odd letter, abbreviation etc it should be fine.

    I think we should campaign for Legend to be a CM....

    Tracy and Esmer, hope your daughters had lovely birthdays :)

  • Having a nightmare day at home, hubby is at home again and is really winding me up along with dd that has spent her time singing at the top of her lungs since 6am. Happy days...

    Have no motivation whatsoever, had planned to go out but I look like I have been dragged through a hedge backwards lol. Need to crack on sorting out the bedroom but it's so cluttered everytime I get on with sorting it out it looks no different after hours of clearing out etc. Want to get as much listed as possible on ebay tonight on a five day listing and need to sort through the kids clothes to see what to sell and what to dump. It's a neverending task lol

    Hope everyones doing well with the money making.

    Oh and there is actually a cm job going on bp, so go on legendmum apply!

    I vote for Legend to be CM too! Imagine the trouble she could cause.

    This is what I came on to post earlier but forgot! Oops.

    On Friday I signed up to another survey site - consumer pulse. It has a lot of market tests like 2luney. I had an email today to do a test for a well known margarine and they pay a £10 Amazon for doing it. I also got 40p for filling out the 5 minute survey. :)

    I've been a member of consumer pulse for years and I've never had surveys or market tests :( I just enter my shopping (not groceries, but clothing, health and beauty products etc) each week - they are very good and pay very well for the few minutes it takes me each time though :)

  • Aaargh :eek: Sold a 1 piece snooker cue for £46 on Ebay but it is too long to parcel post & the buyer is in NIreland so only courier quote I could get was for £36.

    Was sooo looking forward to hitting the challenge too. Oh well c'est la vie. :(
