Monki....I had to go to a meeting yesterday evening - an unavoidable one - and missed ALL the footie. I'm sooo gutted. All that profit.

have £24.10 to add from cashback on the credit card but it has gone to paying of the remaining balance. counting it though as its a payment i havent had to make. also got them to wipe of 8p as thats all that was left and we complained about customer services when we rung up to cancel it. told them we could send a cheque but it would cost them more to process it. they said it would cost £2.50 to process it so they would wipe it of for us. not alot i know but a result for the little people.

vouchers on ebay did ok last night so another £3.82 profit to add.

Signed up to Save the change last night too - will be putting £xx.01 of petrol in my car every time I top up etc now - looking forward to some free money from the bank :money:

Entered lots more comps yesterday to try and up the accuiring stuff to sell plan.

Also managed to get 2 mystery shops for saturday for a new company to me, only got emailed about them last night so presume someone else dropped out but I'm pleased. OH is working then anyway and I needed to go with him to go to the bank and so I'll now be able to keep myself occupied and make money - even get a printing allowance but printed them off at work

SORRY A RANT ....

Why do people take so long sending through feedback on ebay? I know they have the items cos they have signed for them. I always worry that I am going to get a problematic buyer and until I get feedback I'm a little tentative about putting on further auctions. I have emailed both people and they haven't even responded to that. Also, who should put the feedback on first - the buyer or the seller - I always thought it was the buyer.

thanks

Caz, thats an age old debate on ebay I am afraid.

Personally when I sell I always thank my buyer when their payment is received as for me that is there part of the deal done. I insert a note with their item saying 'Thank you for your purchase. I hope you are delighted with your item. I have left you positive feedback and would appreciate you leaving the feedback that you feel is appropriate. Regards, Boom.'

Generally, 7 or 8 out of 10 people do leave feedback some people just don't and unfortunately there is not much you can do about it.

Some people email buyers and ask them to send it, personally I don't.

Some sellers won't leave feedback until the buyer does.

Can't recall right now what ebay equitette take on this is but you will find many people will have different ways of doing it. I'd say do what makes you comfortable. You might just have to accept that you won't get feedback for every sale.

Happy ebaying.

I know the feeling - was waiting for 2 freebies to be credited last night - watching all those opportunities slip away! Ah well - hopefully they'll arrive in my account before saturday! :rolleyes:

Thanks for the tip about inserting the note, I will try that in future.

I have given positive feedback to my 2 buyers about payment as I was hoping that would persuade them to do the same. I suppose no feedback is better than bad feedback.
