    64p roadkill to add.
    Went to the amusement arcades at the beach. Lost more than the 64p I found but I'm adding it as an extra bit of fun I had without having to pay for it. Will still take the 64p and put it to better use.

    Hi Everybody

    Well I made £62 on ebay last night. Been and posted all the stuff so am up to date.

    I have a few more things waiting for payment so will have some more money coming in this week.

    Does anybody know when the next ebay free listings day is going to be?

    Take care everybody

    Hi all :hello:

    I've got the right face on, just walked to the post office to post ebay parcel and I've somehow managed to under estimate the postage by a huge £4.67.. don't ask how, cos I don't know. And considering the item was only £2.20 to start with, I am now minus £2.27 and have lost loads of decent clothes! :mad:
    Lesson learnt, official ebay boycott till I actually learn how to calculate postage accurately.

    Already feeling a bit sorry for myself so this has majorly tipped me right over the blummin edge. :(

    Anyway, I'm not taking it off my total cos I didn't use my saved stash to pay for postage and when I draw the money out of Paypal I'll be putting it in my stash anyway :o

    ps - might be starting a little second job this week, just cleaning at someones house. Think I'll get between £20-25 a week to bring home so will be saving that up in my little stash :)

    Ew, with all the ranting I've forgot to add our overtime from the weekend. Stand by shifts totalling £68.64 between us, and we didn't get called to work! Bonus :D

    Awww, that just rubbish. Dont let it get you down, put it down as a lesson learned. I wasnt going to tell anyone this as i felt toooo stupid but am hoping it might cheer you up as your not alone....i sold something on ebay that I never imagined would ever sell and then got so excited that it had and was marked as paid on ebay, I posted it off, all happy with myself and then check paypal and realised they had only paid the item value and not the postage :o Duh! They didnt email to say they wanted to collect and I ended up losing out too. Put me off ebay for a few days!!
    Good news on the 2nd job :j

    Lol thanks for that Princess, nice to know I'm not alone with the clanger I've gone and dropped. It's put me off defo but it's my own fault lol.

    Just made me think what's the point in my ebaying when postage is that high? Because no body would ever paid the £2.20 plus £7.64 postage would they cos they might as well have gone and bought the clothes new! :-o
