    Miffed now. Some tit has copied a photo of mine to sell a similar item (mine was the only one on Ebay!) and even has the cheek to describe the minor damage to the box in the corner....... I have reported his listing but it wont be pulled for days (if at all).

    Well, that was £338 after fees in the end. Two have paid via Paypal already, one lady has collected and paid an hour after the auction ended (!) and two others are collecting tomorrow (COD).

    A lovely total of £428. I still have a few listings running but these are for much smaller items so I'll be lucky to get £10. But it all goes into the pot!

    To be fair, one item was a Saxophone and the other a collectable board game. The Sax was listed as £250 starting price as I wouldn't have lt it go for less than that and it only made £270 which was a fair price. £25 in fees..................................................................................................................... and another £10 in Paypal fees.....................................................................................................................


    Several 99p items have done well - they were free to list and no paypal fees as collections; so only the selling fees on top.

    I reported someone who had copied my photo the other day, someone bought the item before it was pulled but when I checked about 2 days after I reported it it said that the listing had been removed so don't know if they said anything to the seller.
