in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
So far today I have had 2 questions (I rarely get any at all)

First question 'why I am blocked from your auction? (answer because you didn't pay me last time you won something)

question 2 'do you do any combined postage if I buy 2 of these items?' (no- I just put all the combined postage details explaining that you can have up to 3 in the same envelope for one lot of postage on my auctions for fun)

    I have an auction that ends on Friday. It is up to £36.99 with £5.50 postage.

    I had a message today from someone offering to pay £15 buy it now as long as postage was free.

    Got message from buyer the other day. The item was listed as "BNWOT Bikini etc etc", item condition set to brand new without tags, missing tags mentioned twice in the description. Message reads "I would like a refund please, this bikini has no tags."

    Where's the cold weather?
    I think that they're around all the time, I was p'd off with my 1* for description. I sold a pair of vintage all leather including the sole, boots, they had cost a fortune when I bought them, late 70's early 80's. Probably worn a couple of times. My feedback was, nice boots but smelt like old leather.

    Seeing as it was a bikini for sale, it might have been the midday sun!
