Just done that one as well, took me over an hr to do! xxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0 -
I always add recorded into the delievery, more back up for the buyer and me as the seller, - I "reckon" I got conned before xmas, sold sone ds games - it was on free postage, so started them off at £4.99 some where brand new, this one buyer took 10 days to pay, I posted it normal postage, she reckoned she didn't get in, so obviously she brought a paypal claim, got the money refunded, then left feedback about great game!!
yes when i spoke to paypal there excuse was maybe she left it for the wrong buyer.
recorded delievery is 100 x value of a 1st class stamp (in protection) goes through the normal postal system, buy some postman don't get them signed for, i'd ordered tankinis for hols (lot cheaper than evans - not the 1ct choice of design - but does the trick esp abroad), both parcels were recorded delievery, yet we didn't have to sign for them. Luckly I'm an honest person, but some aren't and it makes us all jubious.
Got my listing ending on sunday - got 23 on so far 4 sold, up to £7, quite a few have got watchers, - but as my mother now says - its not watchers we want its buyers!!

Morning everyone, it's finally the weekend. It doesn't mean a great deal in our house as my fiance is a postman so works 5 our of 6 saturdays!
Hope everyone is ready to list on eBay this weekend. I dont personally have anything to put on!
My son was at doctors yesterday and we had to do a stool sample! That was fun, now await the results.
Really getting into loonie now. If any of you on there could be so kind as to reply to my opinions I will return the favour over the weekend (my username is the same as here). I can see how you all get so many redeems a year now.
Have a great weekend.GC 2015: Aug £272.21 /£300 Sept £112.41 /£300

Morning all
Had quite a good week this week, actually sold some of my hand made bits to a lovely customer xx Found a load of teddies I made before Christmas, I had given one each to my Great Nieces for Christmas and had some left over. I made them with some fun fur that my son had bough to make a fancy dress outfit then he changed his mind and gave it to me. I made a dress for one of them already, going to do the same for the others and see if I can sell them too.
Doou is going up gradually, 13400 points so well over half way.
Loonie is up to 50964 so that's good as well.0 -
Thans so much elysia, I just got put off with that message and now I really need to do it.
Thats a good idea with the ids toys. Thanks
I have lost count with new people on toluna so my user name is same as on here so if you want to follow me I will then add you in return.
I will have alook round for ebay stuff, I always put recorded delivery for peace of mind. I must say I have had far less problems since doing this.
Good luck with all the ebay items ending over the weekend.
Hope your son is ok clairylulu.
Congratulations on the sales rufusdog, your total on dooyoo puts mine to shame. Im only on 2000 ish.
Any one who does quidco, what is the difference between tracked and verified? I am quite new to quidco and when I did mmy first thing with it it wen straight to tracked on the same day I made the purchase. My orders with vista all say verified, what does this mean?Looking forward to new ventures :beer:0 -
Morning all, had a productive week last week - oh took table and chairs to nice lady yesterday so they are out of the way - have made my £100 on ebay this month and only half way through! Plus free listing weekend hurray!!!! I have items photographed and descriptions at the ready, will spend a couple of hours this afternoon once my ironing is out of the way (Hopefully)!
I have only ever had one item not received by my buyer, this was eventually refunded, and as far as I know never turned up, but you don't know do you? I had one ebayer said she had not received item, it was sent normal delivery no tracking but I had proof of postage. I asked her to wait a couple more days and I would refund her, she then emailed a day or so later to tell me it had arrived. That shows the honesty of some ebayers, because she could have just said it hadn't turned up and been refunded and got her item. Hope your item turns up Savvy - I did actually have an item returned to me last week because the buyer hadn't collected from the post office. I have emailed her to ask her to let me know what she wants me to do, either to repay the postage and I will resend to her, or I will refund her less the cost the postage cost me originally - do you think this is fair? She has not responded, which is quite annoying. I also have 10 items that have been delivered that people haven't bothered to leave feedback for - I always put a letter in to say please leave feedback so that I know item has arrived, and you are happy or email me if there is a problem. How do I know one way or another if they do nothing?????
Moan over - got to take ds to football training this morning, hope the rain holds off and will be back on money making duties later

Can any of you with blogger blogs help me out, do you know if you are allowed or if its possible for me to do a link from my blog to my facebook photo album where I have my homemade things I want to try to sell? I have had a look but can't seem to find out whether I can do it or if its allowed? I will be out today but will check back in the morning.
Have a nice day everyone xx0 -
Just to let people know who plan to do a review on dooyoo that they are having technicial problems. The review isn't showing up once it's on it just shows you the title and sub-titles. They had a similar problem last year in november think it took a day or two to put right. Just wanted to warn you, I'd just check the reviews are showing before you put one on.GC 2015: Aug £272.21 /£300 Sept £112.41 /£300
