    woohoo!!! 4 days free listing :eek::p
    hello everyone :) you've all been very busy, I'm catching up and just read the last page.
    the weather has turned dull and cold here and will be no better at the weekend but it won't stop us easter egg hunting on saturday and sunday :p got to be done :D

    I've been slowly working on my listings, got 14 'saved' so far. My plan this weekend is to get the bags of summer clothes from last year and have a good sort out. Sold some items last night and made about £35. I had to open 2 NPB's and did what Igamogan suggested, left a 'non-paying buyer' f/b before closing the case. I was a little nervous just in case they see it and leave me a neg so I was very quick :D

    Have a good easter and goodluck to you all! :easter:

    Phew, I have got 25 items prepped and ready to go and another 8 or so photographed and edited, prepped to, er, prep.

    Have visitors some time over the Easter weekend, but expect to find some time around that to get everything up.

    The timing is just perfect for me as I have many items that will probably only sell for £2 or £3, but I didn't want to list them at 99p, so I can load them up cost free and see what happens.

    And I have some relisting that can go on over Easter too.

    Well done everyone and thanks MerryMary for the lovely Easter Chick!

    I just added x 10 ready for free listing.. the standard photo uploader yet again failed me after doing about 8 listings? It gives me a ! and I have to resort to the basic uploader which takes a g e s .. So Ive done a few without photos and will add tomorrow.
    Great to see everyone so motivated - Im determined to get some more stamps on this weekend (I tend to leave these as they are my least favourite thing to list :) ) Would love to make my loan payment from my ebay sales again this month - so thats my motivation...

    Hi mrscmr, I feel as if I know you from reading through the back-thread *waves* What was your record for number of listings on a FLW? You managed at least 100 a couple of times, if I remember rightly...

    I've been busying ebaying. Had a big clear out of my wardrobe and put lots of clothes on to finish this weekend (forgot it was easter!). Also sorted out the area behind the bed that had turned into a bit of a junkyard, and put loads of those things on yesterday evening to finish next weekend (10 days). Then find out it's a free listing weekend... oops! I always seem to pay insertion fees the day before the FLWs are announced. Oh well, I still have more things I can list this weekend, so I'm not too bothered. Will also take the opportunity to relist some stuff.

    The trick's going to be waiting until Sunday evening to list it all. My organised side wants to get it done now! :rotfl:

    Well done to those busy preparing listings/banging listings straight on :T

    On a positive note: I chucked some things right down and listed them on my 99p relists last night for 10 days so they should also end next sunday. As i am/was planning to maxmize my 100 free listings over the next couple of days.

    I have a really nice day out today with my sisters and was going to list this evening, but am feeling rather daunted tonight and have put it off and off and off :o I was making good progress with my mammouth photo session and prepping listings, the FL days have come at a perfect time. But i just can't and feel totally pressured now :o

    I think it may be because one of my sisters dropped off a big bag of clothes, the biggest bin liner i've ever seen and since she is only a 8/10 (cow) it seems to have about 100+ items in it. I am now thinking It was not a good idea to open and look through for treasures as it is now sprawled in piles over my back bedroom which was all neatly and tidy before that :(

    If i persue with ebay tonight i will probably take 15 mins to prepare each listing, not get very far and then spend the rest of the weekend on ebay shut down which would not be good :o

    Soooo this is my plan i'm going to go to bed, finish reading my book, and get a good night sleep. Tomorrow i will wake up ready to kick some ebay a**. If i'm not back here tomorrow reporting my progress y'all better kick mine. Thanks in advance for your support :p
