    nothing on ebay announcements page. How did they find this page? I can't find how you find it, without the link.

    Aesop - Seach on promotions in the help section on ebay and it will take you to the announcement :)

    Plan for today - HUGE clean of the kitchen/diner and schedule 10 items for free listing....Just got to remember to edit them before I get charged on Sunday!

    Nooooo! I just got fed up with all the big items lying around my house and listed them yesterday :mad:

    I didn't get an e-mail about the FLW like I normally do, and I even checked MSE first - clicked my user CP, and it told me there were no new posts in my subscribed threads. It lied to me!!

    Oh well, I'm out about £3.

    Just taken this off the ebay thread in the forums. I havent had an alert as yet!

    Thanks for the good news!

    It's not just me being unlucky with buyers. After my neg last month, I now have a buyer asking to return a 1.99 item and refund her postage. No energy to argue so just refunded her so now I'm £3.44 down. swings and roundabouts, I sold something I didn't expect to sell or got more than I hoped to get. We all have good and bad days with Ebay so don't be put off. I'm cheering myself up by collecting codes for a Kemit backpack on the other thread :p

    I plan to go up the loft and clear some more space this weekend.

    Happy listing! goodluck with your targets!

    Ive had a nightmare with one buyer (who was quite horrible in initial emails) - when all I wanted to do was resolve the situation! Luckily he emailed me last night and seemed to have had a turn around and even said he would leave me positive feedback??? Ill believe it when I see it! Ive banned him from bidding on my auctions on both accounts now...
    Intending to get a few items ready tonight - Ive even made myself a little area in the kitchen today all ready for the time Im going to spend at the laptop!
    Good luck everyone with your listings :)

    :mad::mad::mad: to awkward buyers. Remember Eb*y states very clearly returned item postage is to be paid by the buyer the seller does not need to refund this in any way shape or form and a seller should not be penalised for not refunding the RETURN postage cost. Sorry just gets my back up :o

    Heres to many free listings this weekends and great sales from lovely buyers;)

    there's a problem with user CP and email notifications.

    sometimes when you log into user CP, unread new posts posted is not bold black. So you think no one knew has posted, and you don't get an email notification. But then if you read the date and time last posted, you will notice a recent post you have not read :mad:

    so next time you log into user CP, actually check the last time of post and you might find there has been a new post.

    Thanks Aesop, that's useful to know.

    Also, I've been meaning to ask: what does the '!!!!!!' stand for in the title of the thread?
