Just a quick visit, will catch up. EBAY - How long do you give buyers to pay???

You can actually open an unpaid item dispute after only 4 days so this can brought up v early if subtle hints don't work

I'm back after my week end away. did anyone miss me...
I have done no surveys or money making all week end and can't seem to get motivated today:(
I looked at consumer pulse. it seems to be by invite only:( I have filled in the application form and will wait and see
I did read the many pages from the week end but am afraid I skimmed most of it so will start afresh from now...

I was lying! I asked Pollyskettle for a referal to consumer pulse when she had the chance, and must have got mixed up......It was crowdology I signed up for. Doh!

Anyway I've had another three minute survey and earned 37p and the money is there instantly.

They are recruiting at the moment - it's on the homepage. You may be able to earn cashback if you go via quidco. If you don't get any cashback could I refer you? - there's an entry into a prize draw. Then the next person to ask can be refered by you, iyswim. down the line

i like crowdology cos most of the surveys are quick and although they don't pay much it soon adds up and it is cash. the best ones are ones which have no right or wrong answer. have you done the ones which ask for certain things for ex british cities beginning with c etc. that is when I realise how thick I am:rotfl:

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.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Could you contact the buyer and see if between you, you could come to a compromise and cancel the auction? You may have lost out on your ebay fees but it'll never come to £36.

Explain, they might understand! I, honestly, if it happened to me, wouldn't want the sellar out of pocket.

Welcome back Bunbun - how was your weekend away? Did you do anything exciting? Back to the money making tomorrow - we will let you off for today.

Just a reminder to anyone who joins in the Thrifty Gifty Organised thread - mum2one has set this months challenge. I hope you've got your rubber gloves at the ready!

that was what I meant! I didn't know there were 9 ingredients i kedgeree!

we went to a family 40/50/80 party. it was good and nice to see everyone but was in watford so 500 miles driven this week end:eek: although I do wonder about my family sometime...it was a meal in a pub type place so I thought dress smartly but not over the top. it never occured to OH to wear a suit and tie. we got there and he was the only one not wearing a suit and tie including my younger brother. when they had the same sort of thing for my brother's birthday people didn't wear suits. I said to my mum I didn't expect my brother to wear a suit and she said I said he ought to cos everyone else would. did she not think to have that conversation with me:mad: we are already seen as 'outcasts' as we live up north and noone else in the family does and my mum can't see why we can't move down south - er maybe cos we can't afford to.
oops sorry that was a bit long and a bit of a rant

Well I've explained the situation so hopefully a hassle free cancellation, fingers crossed

Hope all OK, especially those who aren't feeling 100%. Hugs & a virtual hot choc with cream & a flake to you.

Could someone please refer me to Valued Opinions? £2 rewArd by the looks of it

elysia2003

I'll have one of those virtual hot chocs if they're going please ( got to be virtual - I'm on a diet) and I'm not even ill.
