    Yes :) for items listed as auctions.

    ebay is definately random - for one of my listings its only letting me have one photo free, whereas the others had up to 12 pictures, all free! Think it depends on the category, but its confusing

    Ah right, well that's a bonus then, there was no rush after all. It is definately confusing, and it seems you pay more to list toys on there too. It made me get my as s in gear though so better late than never.

    I used to run my business on eBay believe it or not. Too many changes now and they got greedy with their fees so now I have a website instead. Much, much easier!

    Now just wondering how I am going to clear all these clothes before the weekend when we have my son's birthday party...... :rotfl:

    Hide them! I try to keep on top of their stuff and regularly clear out. It's DS who catches me out, he'll put on a pair of trousers and I'll realise they are mid calf on him! I managed to get one pair off him at the weekend and have listed them. Just need to keep it up.
    My wardrobe is quite decluttered, very minimal since I cleared out '09 and haven't restocked too heavily.
    I try to now buy named brands for myself so if I do get bored I can just resell and get some return on my investment!

    Kaz.... My husband the bright idea of emptying the cupboard - and muggins here has not stopped since! I easily have a wardrobe of clothes - and more as there are things upstairs and things I have left in the wardrobe. I feel dizzy thinking about it all. I am going to sort them into age groups, box them, stick them in the stock room I have for my business, and list them a size at a time.

    However, I am hoping we get enough to get the money for a trip to Disneyland Paris so all good things I guess. I already have £80 from something I sold a few weeks back and I have set the money aside.

    If I had listed them one at a time then I'd just have £20 here and there. I'd not be the same, would it? And that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Was quite overjoyed this morning to find 4 Beavers tops in the cupboard.

    I am also being extremely ruthless and while the kids are at school I am chucking the stuff out that they would otherwise want to keep - stuff that they play with once a year 'but it is their favourite thing'. I really am a bad mummy, ha ha!!
