    i wish i had a butler to do my ebay listings for me .. :(

    but there is just me! so tomorrow i must get on with it.. all you ladies are listing in high numbers.. i must see what i can do and try and beat u all... only slight problem is my 6 yr old has a new hobby which is using my pc all the time playing some rediculous game called Bin Weevils... ?!?!

    I'm sure you will catch us all up tomorrow mrscmr.

    I have a 6 year old too (girl) there is no way she is getting her hands on my computer. Tell your son he can have it when you have a break but tomorrow you are claiming it back.

    My 3 keep arguing and fighting all the time (they are 6, 5 and 2), mind you they were good this morning and were playing happily together while I had a lie in (while keeping one ear open for what they were up to) but that was the end of the 'nice' play it was constant arguing and fighting for the rest of the day either between DD1 and DD2 or DD2 and DD3, they like to wind each other up and DD3 keeps calling DD2 Lexie Bexie so DD2 calls her Alisha Bisha back then the screaming and fighting starts - can't wait until they are teenagers and stay in bed all day.

    Anyway, am back to do a few more tonight just want to get as much listed as possible.

  • If anyone got an iPhone for Xmas then the eBay selling app is really handy.
    It's free to download, you can upload pix straight from your phone's camera and it has nifty little tools which let you research what similar items have sold for and scan the barcodes of things like DVDs etc.
    You can't do much with the listing in the way of formatting, but it's pretty quick and easy.

    Im up to 38 now and slowly losing energy. Have pretty much cleared the hallway apart from one small box (which I think most is for the bin anyway and 4 items sitting in front of me waiting to be photographed and listed.

    Getting no help whatsoever from HM but will no doubt expect half of the profits - err I dont think so!

    Now also battling with the hiccups and feeling rather sick with it - someone needs to scare them outta me!

    Hi guys! I have a HUGE pile of stuff that needs Ebaying so count me in, and I'm gutted that I didn't get an e-mail telling me that it's a free listings weekend, so I didn't know to start listing! :mad:

    Am working tomorrow and have guests over, but will try to list what I can as I have a serious amount of stuff to be rid of! :o
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    I do put them on scheduled for 6p and then before the listing goes I log in and set them to upload now instead, thus avoiding the fee. You have to remember to do that though, otherwise you will get the fee. Works for me though, I set a reminder on my phone. I find if I set them for a week away, and I know when I do want them to go on then I still have plenty of time to remember and get them live before the 6p fee kicks in.

    You are only charged the 6p if and when the listing starts using scheduled

    Does that make sense?

    Makes perfect sense :D

    Thank you I have just done this with 4 items, need to get round to photographing & listing the rest tomorrow now, let's hope I get the time to do so!
