    revise the listing and see if it lets you add a BIN
    been a while since i ebay'd
    however bear in mind the fee for it and the fact the buyer might not buy it(it happens!)

    Is the fee more for BIN? I'm not really keen on amending it to be honest, I'd rather it ran it's course. Just wondered whether it would be worth it.

    I buy my plastic bags from Ebay (normally in bundles of 50 or 100, all different sizes) and I bought 100 mixed sized padded envelopes from Costco in January which are still keeping me going.

    How much did those set you back, do you find you use all the sizes?

    Just catching up as I've been AWOL for a couple of weeks.

    Had 2 NPBs to deal with, who both paid as soon as I opened cases with ebay and so that's meant more trips to the post office and had quite a few no sells/low sales.

    Anyway I'm having a little break and will try and get some new auctions done ready on Saturday for the next free listing day so when it happens I can just pop them on.

    I have sold some silver and cds to other companies, something on amazon and something on green metropolis since starting this this year though so it has kick started me a bit!

    Will have to calculate my totals at the weekend too and report back.

    Good idea - I never thought about that with the football, I need to remember that for next time!
