    Hi all,

    Just a quick question, if i relist unsold items for 99p on a free listing weekend, will that still be included or will it come out of my 100 free 99p start things?

    I hope that makes sense because i'm sure i read something to that effect (although i could have possibly dreamt it :rotfl:).

    Thanks

    xx

    Hmm...I would think it would still come out of your 100 but I'm not exactly sure....hopefully someone else will know the answer!

    Sorry for being a bit thick here...but how can I set up an auction to show that I have 2 of the same item & the buyer can specify how many they want? Does this only work for business accounts or with a BIN option? Just trying to list a few things ready for the free listing weekend & kinda stuck on this one, never needed to use it before :o

  • Aargh! I can't list anything on ebay. I think it's because my work laptop has a really old version of internet explorer - I can get part way, but it won't add photos & keeps telling me I haven't selected a category (even though I did) and won't go any further. There is one of those little yellow warning triangles in the bottom left corner of the screen to indicate the page hasn't loaded properly.

    I tried to do it via my mobile but you can't list that way. Going to have to ask OH to let me use his laptop but really annoying as have all the wording, photos etc stored on this machine. Grrrrr.

  • I've got a BNIB fondue set I want to sell, but it's really heavy.

    Does anyone use courier services than the RM? I sent a few things via couriers when the postal strike was going on.

    Princess Jane, I've used Parcel2Go with some success - stay away from Hermes - they often just don't even bother to turn up and things do go missing from experience.

    Good luck!

  • Have managed to list 17 items so far, my goal is to get at least 50 done over the weekend. Really really need to get rid of so much stuff. If I can get more than 50 on I'll be so pleased with myself. How many of them with sell is another matter! LOL x
  • It's a perfect day for photographing things - nice & bright. Gotta get a move on, I have a massive amount of stuff to get listed this weekend :D

    Five of my seven listings that end tomorrow have bids, not that high at the moment but hopefully get some last minute bidders on them.

    Got quite a few things to go on that I've been waiting for a free listing weekend for, going to do that tomorrow night.

    Hope everyone's been working hard listing today, have fun! :D

    Going to do lots of listing this weekend, am sorting through all my stuff in my house that we havent used for some time. Such a good way to get rid of clutter and earn some money at the same time!!
    Good luck all!!
  • I'm sure my tombstone is going to read "Death by ebay!!" I have 78 items listed atm, thanks to the weather my little ladies got to play in the garden today, which meant i could sit in the kitchen, watch them and ebay at the same time :D

    Still got pages and pages of things to list but i keep telling myself that once it's on, all i've got to do next time is hit the re-list button!

    Good luck on your ebaying guys

    An update on my 10 magazines for anyone interested, 4 of them now have bids on them and all but one of the ones which haven't been bidded on have at least one person watching them.

    Thanks for the update, I think I'm going to have a go at listing some of my old magazines too - you've inspired me!! :D

    I also didn't get the email re free listing weekend so thanks to everyone for posting! I haven't listed nearly as much as some of you, but have had a stressful and busy weekend so far and think I've done fairly well considering.... Will try and get some more on tomorrow too. Let's just hope I get some bids!!!

    Good luck all
