    Maybe offer to meet him in the middle ie. £18.50? You never know :)
    Not sure really suppose it depends on how much the item will cost to post. Is it a Buy It Now item? If so maybe add the Best Offer option and see if you get any better offers. I've added Best Offer to a lot of my Business items.


    hi all,
    I'm still debating whether my need for money is as great as my need for space... it's a heavy item, so postage will eat away at some of the money. Hmmm!! i'll probably mull over it for another day and then accept.

    I stupidly forgot to take my paid-for ebay items in my bag with me when I went out, so they never got posted today.
  • I'm relisting tonight on 5 day listings.... Try to get my Sunday sales up! Got to say - people are being slow at paying for their weekend sales...thought got a couple of international despatches to send tomorrow. Still waiting for a few people to pay...Does start to irritate me - as if I purchase something on ebay I tend to pay straight away.

    I find the best payers are normally Overseas in other European countries. They buy and pay straightaway. I sold something and only ended up with 99p and still they haven't paid from 3 days ago, whats the point.

    Good evening all!
    I've been in and out of the po since yesterday, and I still have 4 to post. Waiting for 4 payments, I hope they don't pay until the weekend :D cos am fed up of packing at the moment...especially after we heard the bad news this morning that our buyer have pulled out :( Everything was going so well...too well. I knew it had to go wrong somewhere.

    Buyer viewed our house twice and made an offer the same day, 2 weeks ago. Happy with the price although below the asking price, we accepted. Survey done the week after. We found our house and got our offer accepted 2 days later. We were overjoyed. Survey scheduled on thursday. Until this morning. Now I'm devastated. :( What a rollercoaster of emotion. Oh well, these things happen. Sorry to ramble, just needed to get it off my chest:o

    Hope you all had a better day than me :)
    Onwards and upwards, now off to do some relisting.
  • Sorry to hear your buyers pulled out, that is so annoying. Hopefully you will find another buyer soon.

    I have sold a few things tonight, not for much but I'm just happy to get rid of stuff, highest item I sold went for £5.50. Sold a couple of things on my Business account too, was pleased as I've not sold anything on there for 2 days which was starting to worry me. Now just waiting for payment.

    I listed 5 things tonight, two were relists and the other three new items. I am going to try and list a few items every day so that I have items finishing nearly every day. I don't mind wrapping up items if they are easy to do, most of the items I sell are clothing so quite easy.

  • I made £97.16 from my lot that finished at the weekend- was shocked as all 18 had paid before I went to the post office yesterday afternoon :), I only seem to list on FLW so I need to get out of that habit if Im to make any money and declutter this house! Might try and get some listed and started on Thursday.
    £20 a day April 2014 £834.87/£600 :j
    £20 a day May 2014 £108.45/£600
  • Well done Natterjack - you were lucky there! I need to go to the post office today but I still have a couple of purchases to be paid for (& one is an international purchaser!) Did manage to do x 4 relists last night - but I intend to do bulk of my listings tomorrow for 10 days.
